Hizbul bahr

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

assalamualikum,
I am seriously having a need and I need permission for the same purpose. I wish to make my bond with my husband so strong that, with Allah’s Mercy, nobody could ever break it. Please give me a good wazifa for it, or please tell me will hizbul bahr help me in attaining such a state?  If so, give me permission to recite it and tell me how long should I recite and how many times. If hizbul bahr is not a solution for my need please give me permission to read the same to protect myself from all sorts of trouble.

Hoping for your ijaza…

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,
You have permission for protection and you can also recite daily “Ya Wadud” x100-1000 for increased love and affection.

Afraid or lazy….?

Posted on October 2, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

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 help me understand. I have an 8 month old baby boy who of course has many clothes, toys, books and wall decorations as well as blankets, etc. that all have animated pictures on them which I’ve come to learn is a bad thing because angels will not enter the house. 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 ..

Dunya Dreams

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Selamun Alaikum,

Do you know a dua to get rid of monetary debts in this world?

I realize that debt is a test OR it is just the result of stupid decisions one makes in his life, like going to an expensive school, getting a divorce and paying the lawyer, or buying a bigger house than one can pay, or medical bills, etc.   Is there a dua against personal
monetary debt and paying  personal monetary debts?

May Allah’s Beloved Nour be and shine on you and your family.

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,

“Whoever recites ‘Subhan Allah wa bi hamdihi, subhan Allah al’azheem, astaghfirullah‘ 100 times every day, dunya will submit to him whether it likes it or not.” (Tabarani)

For Family Problems

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

Salam,

I’m a teen-aged  old girl and I was wondering if there is any specific dhikr I can do, for general family problems, like getting rid of angry or frustration or just for more happiness in the home and to bring the family together. There’s a lot of anger from my mother and then disobedience from my sisters and sometimes even from me…. And I have noticed that increasing within my family. I know that respecting my mother is very important in Islam so, I really don’t want me nor my sisters answering back to her rudely… Please let know what I can do to change things…. Thank you.

Answer:

Wa`alaikum Salam,

Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you.

For the family issues please recite daily 100 times “Ya Ghani” and “Ya Salam”.

For your own anger try to pray Salat an-Najat before Fajr, and ask for Allah to replace the destructive qualities with praiseworthy ones as indicated in Naqshbandi Handbook of Awrad. If you keep with this consistently and swallow and digest your anger and jealousy you will benefit greatly.  Also keep wudu at all times if possible.

1. Family Problem
2. Ridding Anger and Jealousy]

How to understand this situation?

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

Assalamualaikum,
 What condition do we call it when a person suddenly gets that religious direction in their life and realizes that the life of this world is but an illusion but the sad thing being that they become bitter and contemptuous towards other people and their involvement in the dunya. Be it in financial or personal success and issues as such? This does not seem like an attitude of a true mumin and certainly not of the beloved Prophet SAW. Can you please clarify this situation and give its solution?

JazakAllah Khair!

Answer:

Walaikum Salam,
This is hasad, envy.
The solution is Night Vigil.

Paralyzed by a Jinn

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

This has been happening with me for 3 years:

1# I feel that something grabs me when I am sleeping at night/afternoon, he paralyses me. Firstly, I got unconscious or it comes in my dream, I  don’t understand this situation. Only my heart and mind are free from his influence. Last time in Shaban I felt he was lying with me on my bed, attached with me and I couldn’t move. I always recite Ayatal Kursi, then he leaves me.

2# Once, in my dream I felt that someone wearing white clothes…I couldn’t saw his face, laid on me and stuck to my throat, sucking my blood like vampire. I got scared it was so real.

3# Once, in my dream(or I don’t know whether it was dream) I felt that someone was towards my head. He kissed me on my cheek.

I need dua/wazifa to get rid of this creature/jinn.

Answer:

This is the general prescription for protection from Jinn:

1. Recite the Du`a of Ayat al-Kursi once a day
2. Recite Ayat al-Kursi itself 3x a day
3. wear the tawiz of Grandshaykh `Abdullah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani (q)
