Parents

Question:

Aslamu Alaykum Sheikh.
I have problems with my parents and they have problems with me, they have made my life so hard, they pray they fast and do everything else but they still into the worldly things, they live for the creation but I want to live for the creator I want every sec of mine spent in ALLAH (s) zikar and shukar, when I am cooking cleaning I read tasbih at same time and my mother shouted at me today and my father said there is no point me reading if I cannot respect them. I know everything has a wisdom behind it but I wish I was born in a religious family. Please pray that I get married as soon as possible with a religious man, remember me and the followers of our beloved Prophet Salallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam in your duas please.

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. Mend relations and try to secure their dua for you because Allah Most High put the father and mother’s good pleasure second only to His.

Prayer Request: Please help me, my family is falling apart

Request:

Ya shaykh, Assalamu alaikum.

I am in tears as I write this. Please forgive me for my bad adab. Ya shaykh,  in Ramadhan Allah SWT blessed me with a beautiful baby, but since my life has been filled with troubles and worries. There have been too many arguments between my husband and family members. I have been reading the wazaif and kept distance but things are getting worse day by day. Now my husband cannot control his anger and does not trust my mum.

Please, I request Sultan Ul Awliya Maulana Shaykh Nazim, may Allah grant him health to make dua for me. Within a short amount of time my life has turned upside down. Please advise me how can I help this situation. My sincere duas are with you all for your service. Wasalaam

Response:

`Alaykum Salam,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. Put distance and keep your first duty to your husband, in sha Allah it will protect your family and bring back peace and happiness. Recite “Ya Wadud ya Salam“x100 daily.

Prayer Request: Female jinn issue

Request:

Assalamu Aleykum,

Please brothers and sisters, remember me in your dua’a. I’ve been fighting a female jinn for a year now. She made me really sick–western medicine says I am OK; constant dizziness, balance problem, and eye floaters, and irregular heart beats just one week I tried to get married.

I am doing ruqyah and hope to get better with Allah swt ‘s will and all the prayers.

Response:

`Alaykum Salam,

May Allah swt grant you shifa

Prayer Request: Son still beats me!

Request:

Salamu alaykum ya shaykh Hisham,
Urgent! I am in urgent need of dua. I post many requests about my disobeying son who is a teenager . Every day we fight, but today it become worse. He beat me for the 4th time now and I called the police this time because he broke my finger this time. I can not handle this anymore. He breaks everything in the house. Nobody can handle his anger, illa Allah. I ask you very humble ya shaykh Hisham, I need your dua please urgently. Ask Allah swt that my son never beat me again. I forgave him many times but now I leave it to Allah (all the posts of disobeying son is mine and I am very ashamed). May Allah send you shaykh Hisham and shaykh Nazim to me, Ya Rabb. Ameen

Response:

`Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. Recite “Hasbiya Allah Rabbiya Allah” x1000 daily. Either remarry for your own sake or expel him, because curses are coming down on him like rain and you cannot do anything until he comes back to his senses.

Abuse

Question:

Ever since I can remember my mother has physically abused me. She has beaten me with a bamboo stick to such an extent that it broke upon impact on my skin she has hit me with a hot pan she has attempted stabbing me with scissors,knifes etc.I was just wondering what Islam says about this? I’m thinking of once I]m at uni to never return home or have contact with her again? Would Allah be angry at me for doing so? Cause I’m scared Allah will punish me for not fulfilling my duty towards her but I don’t understand why I should have to?

Thank you

Answer:

If she did and is as you say then you do not have to be with her. You can respect her from a distance that does not put you in harm’s way if being near her means she might harm you. Recite “Ya Jabbar” x100 daily to the intention of her mending her state.

Forbearance

Question:

As salaam alaykum,
What does forbearance actually mean? I am angry with most neighbours and colleagues around me. When I was patient and softer with them,they behaved so badly I now loathe them and see them with anger. My brother is selfish and leaves all family responsibilities to me. My parents over-involve themselves with others who take advantage and are rude to them and me. I feel trapped and as a result I hate. But when I look up forbearance, all I see is to do it,but not how, nor if it’ll build my self-respect, which is getting worn down by all this stress. How do I practice forbearance & balance it with proper personal boundaries.

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,
Spend time (suhba) with the people of forbearance, make dhikr with them and their followers and you will end up like them in sha Allah.

Dream: Fighting criminals

Dream:

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wabrakatuhu,

Lately I often have vivid dreams where I seek out criminals, fight them, and sometimes kill them. Then I wake up panting.
Thank you, Allah bless you!

Interpretation:

Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:

Wa alaykumasalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

This dream can mean that you might be taking on other people’s problems and trying to solve them. The dhikr to remove these worries is to say ”Wa ufawwidu amriy il-Allah, inn-Allaha basirun bil-`ibad” at least 300 times a day.

And Allah (swt) knows best.

Praying in mosque

Question:

As salamu alaykum,
The prophet (saw) said: “Whoever lives near to the masjid and does not pray in it, his prayers are not valid.”

I live about 5 minutes from a Moroccan Masjid here in Belgium, but they pray some prayers too early. For example they pray Fajr an hour before the sun starts rising. They pray isha a half hour after the disappearance of the twilight. It just doesn’t seem right to me. They follow a prayer time calender which is not logical. During Ramadan their calendars said that between Isha and Suhr there was only 2 hours time.

Should I still pray in that mosque? The next mosque is too far away from where I live.

Jazakallah

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,
You should still pray in that mosque. Try to understand why they follow the prayer time  calendar you mentioned.

It shows very bad effects on Tuesday and Friday. I also forget my namaz rakhats ...some amals said to me one of your aunts is doing black magic. Her sister also tells me that her mother has some evil powers..I do not know why she can do this..Please pray for me and also pray for my aunt. May Allah show her the Right Path….And I also want your help for Bait. I daily read 40 times Darood Ibrahami then 40 timed Surah Ikhlas and again 40 times Darood Pak and send its sawab to All 40 Nakashbani Aulia Karam. Please help me.
