Request:
Assalam,
I am currently undergoing great emotional pain and turmoil. I am doing prayer with zikr prescribed by my mursheed, but things are not working. I am feeling very suicidal and lost hope and faith in life. Past 10 years I had gone through lot of traumatic tragedies in life and these things have weakened in me in spirit and faith. Please help me and give guidance what should I do and where should I look for help because now I am totally lost and confused (I am a doctor by profession and I have tried almost everything including many spiritual practices).
Thanks
Response:
`Alaykum Salam,
Don’t despair as Allah gave you belief and huge honor. Make salawat on Prophet (upon him blessings and peace). You may take baya with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) and attend the weekly Naqshbandi dhikr in your area. In sha Allah it will lift your spirits. Give sadaqa or feed the poor every day.

Question:
As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu!
Dearest Mawlana Sheikh Hisham and friends,
My wife and I are awaiting the birth of our second child, and she can enter labor at any moment. We ask that you pray for us so that my wife and our child are safe during and after the delivery. My wife is reading Surah Al-Balad daily for safety.
Our trust is in Allah (swt), but we are fearful because of what happened with our first child. When you met him, you told us that he carried the burden of 70,000 mu’min. Alhamdulillah, he is much better now, and it is all thanks to the mercy of our Lord and your supplication—I cannot be more grateful to you for your assistance. Naturally, we are worried about our second child for these reasons.
We ask that you help bless our child with a name.
JazakhAllah for your help!
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you and in sha Allah with the baraka of the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) you will have a healthy child.
If a boy name him Muhammad Nuruddin and if a girl, Khadijah Noor.

The problem is that whatever I try to do or think, they are coming to know to it. I don’t have any matter with all these people. I need your help so that you can provide me some sort of wazifa/amal/taweez or provide me some help so that it become impossible for thought readers to read my thinking.
Since I am not bad guy. I am good job employer working in [blank] company. I am going to marry with my partner in nearing 1 month. Please, can provide me wazifaa or defense to stop thought readers?
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
Recite Qur’an verse 36:9 ten times before leaving your house in the morning and the last two verses of Surat al-Baqara in the evening. Always add “in sha Allah” when stating what you will do in the near or far future.

Question:
Salaam sheikh,
May ALLAH bless our Prophet(sw) & Sahabahs. Last day I performed istikhara to know about the job condition of a guy of my age who proposed me. In the dream I saw my classmate (with the same profession, age and working abroad like this guy in real life) with his wife standing near to me. A huge piece of cloud came over and a vehicle (like the one which ancient kings used to travel) came from the sky in front of us. After that a beautiful purple/lilac color horse also came from the sky and it landed near to this vehicle. Sheikh, what does dis mean? Also, months before this proposal saw a dream where a guy looking like this telling salaam to me and I replied back. Then recently my dad saw a dream where he told salaam to a guys father and he also replied back.Is it a positive sign?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
The dreams are positive in sha Allah. And Allah knows best.

Question:
Assalaamualaykum ya Sayyidi,
Forgive me for my lack adab.
Ya Sayyidi….please pray for me. I don’t know what is happening to me.
Am I afraid….? Or am I lazy….? Because it seems when I am focusing in my ibadah, the power is getting stronger…..although it is only as small as the smallest particle in the universe…..which makes me afraid…..but I don’t know if am I making it as an excuse for my laziness….
I am feeling it is a heavy burden too for keeping it as a secret. My tongue is really want to share it with somebody else….but i can’t. Or can I?
Please pray for me…..pray for the ummah too…..because my prayer is nothing, ya Sayyidi…..but i am concerned to others. In the other hand I am really a bad person, with bad manners in front of Him.
Wassalaamu’alaykum
Answer:
Wa’alaykumussalam,,
Insha Allah, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you.
If you can, join the congregational prayer in a mosque.

Please give me much information about this so that I may understand what to do, if I should replace all his things although this would be hard on me ..
