About lost salat

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

`Assalamu alaykum,
I have started to repent on my past activities in this Ramadan. I have been avoiding salat a lot now I have a bad feeling for my self, there are thousands of salat that I have avoided. I know I have to cover those salats as soon as possible. But I want to know whether I can recite duroods and dhikrs at this time and also can I do sunnah salat like tahajjud taraweeh at this time? And also can I read Quran?

Please reply this I really need the answer of this :)

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,
 You can do all the voluntary worship you mentioned but its reward is suspended until the fard is made up.

Dream: White light, La ilaha illaAllah

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Dream two hours before fajr: I was reciting la ilaha illallah in the position that I was sleeping in. I felt awake and recitation became louder, the whole room I can only see white everywhere. I felt like Allah (swt) controlling me and I was being moved around room and all the time I was ecstatically reciting, louder and louder. I had no control. Then I would gain a little bit of control and the more fervently I recited it the more I lost control. Sometimes, I was shaking in my lying place and fast heartbeat, but had no control over it. In dream I felt Allah (swt) is controlling me. Then I suddenly woke up in same position that I was in my dream and I was breathing fast. I didn’t feel like it was a dream, until I woke up and realised I was sleeping and it was a dream.

Answer:

Continue as you are in a good state in sha Allah.

Excessive thinking about Islam

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assalamalikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatuhu, may Allah (swt) give Mawlana and his family long life. Because of excessive thinking and talking to my self about those I love; my Creator Allah (swt), my beloved leader master Muhammad and spiritual teacher Mawlana. I cannot even go out because I can’t bear to look at the non-Muslims, or watch TV because it reminds me of waswas and now eshaykh because of the horrible questions people have asked about what others have done to the ones I love as it’s ruining my joy in salah, awrad. I fear every evil word. It’s just my mind that’s troubling. I feel as if i can’t control as it is dangerous for me when sitting quiet and also when praying I fear when I want to pray with humbleness and focus like I used to. Is it because of being stuffed in the house?

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,
 Try not to be pessimistic as this is not the way of Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) or his Awliya, but rather cheerful and helpful.
Attend the group dhikr in your area assiduously and you will get better
in sha Allah.

Prayer Request: Late marriage

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Salaam, may ALLAH bless our Habib Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and others.I am an unmarried girl soon going to be 30. In between there came a few good proposals interested in me. But suddenly withdraws from that without saying a”yes or no.” Also I don’t have a steady job. Thinking that my valuable youth time is getting spoiled without a chance to enjoy the beauty and sweetness of married life, without a good career I am losing interest in this world. Recently a good proposal came. They called us frequently, we liked each other. But then it seems as if something is blocking that guy from me. I am having shaiytaniyath (snake) dosha and its there in my body and I see snakes in dream like biting, tracing. Is this blocking that guy from me? Shaikh please pray  and give an effective dua for a response from them (only then we can analyse its good or bad) and to remove my marriage obstacles. Kindly requesting a fast reply.

Response:

`Alaykum Salam,
 Keep in the best way with Allah (prayer on time) and recite last three Suras of Qur’an before sleep. Insha Allah things will improve.

Doubting the kufr of a kafir?

Posted on September 23, 2012 by Shaykh Senad Agic

Question:

As-salamu ‘alaykum,

This is a fatwa of Mawlana Ahmad Raza translated by Hizmetbooks, please inform us if you agree with it:

“One who does not believe in one of the things indispensable in Islam becomes a kafir. One who has suspicion of such a person’s not being a kafir and in that he will not be punished in Hell eternally is a kafir, too. That the latter, too, is a kafir is openly written in the books Bazaziyya, Durr al-mukhtar, Qadi Iyad’s Shifa, Imam an-Nawawi’s Rawda and Ibn Hajar al-Makki’s Al-alam. It has been unanimously declared by the ‘ulama‘ of Islam that it also makes one kafir to have doubt that it is infidelity (kufr) if somebody does not regard a Christian, a Jew or a dissenter from Islam as a kafir. This unanimity is written in the above-mentioned books..”

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

There is a Kafir and there is a kafir.

The Kafir with the capital K is a disbeliever. The kafir with small k is someone who believes but does not believe properly. He might even be Muslim but very often forgetful of God, he might be ungrateful to God etc. The word KAFIR has more than one meaning. (Wa man yakfur bit-taghooti …)

Dream: Ayatul Kursi

Posted on September 23, 2012 by Imam Wissam

Question:

As salamualaikum,

I am a newly initiated by Online Bayyah to Sultan Mawlana Syakh Nazim, alhamdulilah may Allah grant him longer life and blessings. On the night after nisfu Syabaan, I dreamt; I was in a house I was scared, I am not sure why, but if felt like syaitan laknatullah would bother me or hurt me, but then I looked up at the ceiling of that house, and saw the holy protective tawiz written by Sultan uw liya Grandshaykh Abdullah al-Fa’iz Daghestani (Allah All-Knowing) and I recited Ayatul Kursi till the end of ayah‘, and I suddenly woke up. Still like my heart reading the end of ayah‘, and my heart is beating. I said, “Ya Karim” 3x and went back to sleep. Please Syakh, what is the meaning of this dream? I will wait for the answer, thank you.

Answer:

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

Wa `alaykumu s-salāmu wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh ,

It shows that all bad manners will be expelled from your heart (represented by the house) through the guidance of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim until it will become clean. At that time, you will start to witness the engraving of Allah’s name in your heart.

And Allah knows best.

Wissam
