Dream: Huge tidal waves crashing

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Dream:

I constantly dream of driving with my family and relatives along a road with the sea on both sides, the seas on both the sides have Huge tidal waves rising and crashing on the road continuously. The sea water surrounds me on all sides some times and I get wet. Most of the time I am running trying to avoid getting caught in the waves and drowning.

Interpretation:

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

This dream can mean that you are surrounded with emotional turmoil (tidal waves), and you are trying to fix the emotional problems within the family. There is a dikr to recite for this and it is: “La ilaha illa Anta subhanaka innee kuntu min azh- zhalimeen” at least 300 times a day.

And Allah knows best.

Prayer Request: Marriage Issue

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Assalomoalikum Mashaikh!
I’ve been married over 5 years and like any other marriage there has been ups and downs. Recently after a quarrel about something small my wife cried and said she wanted a divorce. I said I cannot give her a divorce because I love her and my children. She wants more help from me in household chores and help with the kids.I also have a side business that takes up a lot of time. I agreed to help her at home as much as I can. I am trying to help at home after many long hrs at work and a long drive back home. She has not brought up this topic again but I’m very hurt. I don’t want our marriage to end. I have kids that I love very much and will do anything to save this marriage. I was shocked to know that divorce was an option for her! What should I do? Please request MSH to pray for our marriage.

Response:

`Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. Try to show more tenderness so she feels she is beloved. See if you can hire a day helper to shoulder her in her chores so that you two have more quiet time to yourselves. A wife is not required to clean and cook, it is only a courtesy to her husband.

Tafsir: Surah 56 (Waqia) Verse 75-80

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assalaamualikum Dear Shuyukh,

Please could you tell me the Tafsir of Verse 75-80 in Surah 56 (Waqia) which roughly translates to:

Nay, I swear by the places of the stars
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur’an
In a Book kept hidden
Which none toucheth save the purified,
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

I am especially interested in the significance of the Oath that Allah (swt) makes regarding the setting or placement of the stars and what is the spiritual meaning/secrets behind it.

The few Tafsirs I have looked at do not give much detail. JazaakAllah

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,

It is an oath by the stations of the Awliya and Allah knows best.

Dream: Qiyamat

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

I am with my husband and children in an outdoor public place… I go to use the bathroom and whilst washing hands I hear loud trumpets sounding. I panic that it is the horn of qiyamat. I run out to be near my family and look in the sky. I see a crucifix made up of red stars in the sky. It is end of the world.

Interpretation:

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

It is a good reminder to always be cognizant of your own day of qiyama, when you leave this life for the next. And Allah knows best.

Dream: Rain

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

I had this dream where it was raining. The sky was pink and purple and there were clouds in the sky that brought about rain. I saw lightning and at times heard mild thunder. In the dream I was so happy to see the rain because it hasn’t really rained here for nearly 2 years.

I often see rain in my dreams. Mostly it’s pleasant and brings about greenery. This time it was different. Can you please interpret the dream for me? JazakAllah.

Interpretation:

Rain is Allah’s Mercy pouring down, and thunder and lightning means hold fast to Allah’s Remembrance, Dhikr or Tasbih, and salawat to protect from any difficulties and troubles that might come about. And Allah knows best.

Dream: A boy, orange white card, blonde doll

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

Yesterday after coming from umrah, I fell asleep and saw this dream. There was this boy at school who brings me a card (a thick one with nice things written on pages, it was orange and white) and gives it to me. He tells me that he really likes me and stuff like that. And before I get to say anything he says that even being friends is fine. I say okay and then I go. Other people at school say that he likes me because of our same love for “Qul hu Allahu ahad.” This girl takes away my card (she likes that boy), says she was supposed to get it.  I say-the card has my name, but she refuses to return it. We get into a fight and in a moment the girl turns into a blonde doll in its packaging and shes hanging by her hair which I’m holding and she’s scared of me.

Interpretation:

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

Try to keep the treasures of your umrah safe from the attacks of dunya and shaytan. Recite Sura Ikhlas frequently. Some pious scholars recommend reciting it three times (to equal one complete recitation of Holy Quran) after every namaz. And Allah knows best.

Dr. Karim
