Prayer Request by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad


 
Request:

Assalamualaiykum respected Sheikh,
Mowlana I am suffering from stress and sadness in my life. I feel as if everything is going wrong. My family is also upset too due to my sister’s choice of marriage. I also feel lost for grounds as I feel I’m backing away from Islam. Please pray that my family is filled with happiness and barkath.
jazakallah hair
wassalam

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you and your family.

The Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said that recitation of the following du`a will change sadness into happiness:

ما أَصابَ أحداً قَطُّ هَمٌّ ولا حُزْنٌ، فقال: اللهم إني عبدُك وابنُ عبدِك وابنُ أَمَتِك، ناصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ: أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي، إِلَّا أَذْهَبَ اللهُ هَمَّهُ وَحُزْنَهُ، وَأَبْدَلَهُ مَكَانَهُ فَرَحاً

Allahumma inni `abduka
wabnu `abdika wabnu amatik
nasiyati bi-yadik
madin fiyya hukmuk
`adlun fiyya qada’uk
as’aluka bi-kulli ismin huwa lak
sammayta bihi nafsak
aw `allamtahu ahadan min khalqak
aw anzaltahu fi kitabik
awista’tharta bihi fi `ilmi al-ghaybi `indak
an taj`ala al-Qur’ana al-karima rabi`a qalbi
wa-nura sadri
wa-jala’a huzni
wa-dhahaba hammi

Marriage/ iman

 
Question:

It has been over a month, and im finding it extremely difficult to get over him, my iman has become so weak, i know what Allah (SWT) does is for the best. Can you please keep me in your duas, pray that I forget about him, move on and become a better muslim. I do have the love for Allah (SWT) and his Rasool (SAW) but I find it extremely hard to keep up with the daily salaah, I am extremely lazy, and I am aware of the punishment for missing it, but I still do, I want to get close to Allah (SWT) but I find it extremely difficult and then I feel Allah (swt) is turning his back on me. I feel extremely lonely. Can you please help me!! JZK.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah we are asking Shaykh Hisham Kabbani to pray for you. Start making this Dua for Depression . You may also benefit from this post.

Three Actions to Save Us from Unbelief

Salawat

The first of these good actions is Salawat for the Prophet (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him):

“Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin wa salim.”

This gives our respect and love for our Prophet (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him). It means:

“O my Lord. Give Muhammand (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) Your Mercy and Your Glory and Your Honor, here and hereafter.”

This respect, even if spoken only once in a man’s life, will come back at the last moment of his life to save him. It is a mercy from Allah.

To Do Goodness and to Help the Needy

Secondly, we have been ordered in Islam to do goodness along our lives (maruf). There is no permission for us to do or think badness for anybody. We must do goodness for everyone. Our faith pushes us away from badness and pulls us toward goodness. Even after our death we have been ordered to do goodness!

Wasiyyah is the obligatory inheritance we must leave for the general good of the community. One-third of our estate must be left for the benefit of the needy, and the other two-thirds may go to our heirs. This may be used to build schools, for instance, or hospitals, or to feed the poor. It is ordered for us.

Yet, as beneficial as wasiyyah may be, it is even more acceptable to Allah if you give during your life. It is, in fact, better to give one dollar with your own hand, during your life, than it is to leave seventy dollars in your will, after your death.

This action, to do goodness throughout your life and to give to those who are in need, will not leave a man at the end of his life, but will come back to save him. It is a sign that you believe in the Last Day, in the Judgment and the Resurrection.

To Forgive

“If anyone harms you, forgive him!”

This is the third action that will come back to save a man at the last moment of his life. The act of forgiveness cannot be lost to a man; it is the character of prophets.

If a man has the character to forgive people, Allah Almighty will forgive him huge sins. He will not give permission for the Angels to write any sin against him! People with the character of forgiveness are very, very few — not even one in one million! It is the reality of faith, for a believer believes that “If I am forgiving, my Lord is forgiving me.”

If anyone is forgiving, believer or unbeliever, his Lord is forgiving him. This is the character of the prophets and will come to a man at the last moment. He will not die an unbeliever. Even among believers, this character is very rare!

Prayer Request: Wazifa for powers

 
Request:

Salam,

I hope you are doing well. My question is that is there any wazifa you can give me that would enable me to fly or to travel any part of the world in an instant?

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Having attained the level of disciple (murid), the seeker knows the Truth of Certainty. When the Saints of God witness that the seeker has reached enlightenment by passing the ten steps to discipleship, they will dress him or her with six powers. These are not powers that come from an external source, but rather they are unveiled from within the heart of the disciple. When they are opened, he will find himself dressed with them.

If these six powers of the heart are suppressed by the bad characteristics of the ego, they will never be released. The ego’s selfishness cannot accept anyone except itself, not even the shaykh.

{Saying, “I am your Lord, Most High“} (Suratu ’n-Nazi`at, 79:24)

The ego’s ultimate aim is to overthrow God’s dominion of the heart and for the ego to proclaim itself as lord. The ego wants to ride and control you, and it is able to suppress these powers in your heart. You cannot release them until you pass the ten steps of the disciple. Then it is as if you have been granted the highest level of clearance, for each of the ten steps is like a new level of security clearance.

For certain government services, you require security clearance. For example, while most people who work in the Department of Labor do not need such clearance because their regular duties are not sensitive in nature, many of those in the Department of Defense do. Without such clearance, you may only access unclassified areas. High-level government jobs require high levels of clearance. Applicants must be examined carefully before receiving this high-level clearance. Their family history and criminal records are examined, along with anything else that might make the candidate a risk. This information affects the level of clearance they are eligible to receive. Depending on the level of clearance, this research might go back as far as the age of five years.

The same is true in spirituality. When the disciple has achieved these ten levels, he is cleared to access classified materials. At that time, the disciple can access the six powers of the heart, powers that are found in the heart of every human being, without discrimination. Until you access them, these six powers are pressurized by the ego. The tyranny of the self is able to oppress you. All of this power that God put in your heart becomes suppressed in a small and narrow place, due to the very high pressure of selfishness and satanic influence. The pressurized place that holds these powers is a black clot in the heart. When you have achieved clearance through progress, that place becomes easy to open. When that pressurized clot is opened, it is like aerosol releasing a nice fragrance. Like the volcano, the heart containing these powers erupts, spreading love.

The six powers are of the heart are:

-  The Reality of Attraction (Haqiqatu ’l-jadhbah)
-  The Reality of Downpouring (Haqiqatu ’l-fayd)
-  The Reality of Focusing (Haqiqatu ’t-tawajjuh)
-  The Reality of Intercession (Haqiqatu ’t-tawassul)
-  The Reality of Guidance (Haqiqatu ’l-irshad)
-  The Reality of Scrolling (Haqiqatu ’t-tayy) [When disciples receive that they can move as they like in the dimensions of space.]

Every newborn child has these six powers, because every child is born innocent. The light of innocence is lost throughout life. God does not take it away; it is suppressed and pushed down into the heart as the child grows progressively farther away from his divine reality. A child may be raised by his parents in a situation contrary to his inherent innocence (fitrah). How severe the suppression of this light becomes depends on how the child is raised and how much the child is spoiled. As the child grows into adulthood, he or she may suddenly realize the importance of balancing the inner and outer dimension of his life, in order to release the spiritual power buried within them.

Maintaining balance becomes an integral part of the seeker’s discipline. It is very important to have the inward and the outward in harmony. A person’s outer behavior must match their inner reality, or else the six powers cannot be opened. In that case, they will continue to struggle.

Once there was a student of Sayyidina Jamaluddin al-Ghumuqi al-Husayni ق named Orkallisa Muhammad who spent all his life trying to please his shaykh and be a good follower. He learned how to behave with the shaykh from the preceding story of Sayyidina Bayazid al-Bistami ق and his disciple.

One night, after making dhikr and praying the night prayer, everyone left and the mosque was closed. But Orkallisa Muhammad had hidden himself inside, behind a pillar. He was speaking to himself, like someone who speaks to his reflection in a mirror. In this dialogue, it was as if the body had one voice and the spirit another.

He said, “O Orkallisa Muhammad, you were never able to do anything. You always fail at what you touch. You failed and failed, until finally the shaykh pitied you and gave you money to buy a flock of sheep. You bought so many sheep and raised them until the sacred months arrived, but with every holiday in those months you sacrificed them in the Way of God until none were left. Your shaykh gave you money for the sheep in order for you to earn an income to help the community, but you went and slaughtered them all, and so you failed. Whatever the shaykh gives you to do, you fail.”

He was learning. He knew his self—the self that will destroy human beings. Never trust yourself and let it ride on you; you must ride on your self.

He continued, “O Orkallisa Muhammad, I make an oath that you are the worst of human beings, the lowest that anyone can imagine.” To show the sincerity of his oath, he added, “If I am not saying this with full conviction that I am the worst human being, then my beloved wife is divorced from me.”

With that oath, he was experiencing the reality of humility. He was genuinely accepting that he was the worst of human beings. At that moment, he heard his shaykh laughing, and he looked up and saw him. He said, “O my shaykh, you are here?”

Sayyidina Jamaluddin ق replied, “I was here from the beginning, O my son. Now I can open for you the six powers that are in your heart.”

Today, you have the Palm Pilot, and with its stylus you are able to bring up the information it holds. Such a stylus is not the same instrument that Sayyidina Jamaluddin al-Ghumuqi al-Husayni ق was using, but technology imitates the abilities of spiritual teachers. By moving the Finger of Witnessing in front of the heart of the disciple, the shaykh opened the six realities for him. He was uploading, bringing that information up into the awareness of the disciple. As that information was being decoded, the disciple was ascending and descending in the mosque. He was so very light, for heavenly powers were raising him.

The disciple said, “Is this part of the spiritual path?”

The shaykh replied, “Yes it is, but this does not come to someone until he humbles himself. If he keeps thinking that he is something, then he will never reach the reality that he is asking to learn.”

Prayer Request: Please help me clean my act …

  
Request:

Please, I need help from MawlanaShaykh. I try to do what needs to be done eachday- find it very difficult, have health issues though some say these are mostly mental, perhaps. Perhaps I am just plain lazy. Read that if one recites 1000 times Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyumu between sunnah and fard of fajr, laziness of all sorts goes away so recited that a few times.
Used to be energetic and hard-working. Now no matter what i do i can’t seem to fullfill any role to satisfaction – mother, housewife, daughter. Am a complete failure in all aspects of mylife, I have only the door of Mawlana Shaykh to knock on and askforhelp. Everyone around me is unhappy with me, please pray that I fulfill my roles and responsibilities to those in my care and make them happy. If there is something that I can recite inshaAllah i will.
Thankyouverymuch.

Response:

Since you said that you are praying fajr, that is a sign that you are not lazy, so you are trying only to convince yourself that you are lazy. Many people do their daily work but don’t pray fajr because they say we are lazy. You are praying fajr so you are not lazy. Some people put an alarm clock, it rings and then they go and turn it off.
So next time, I told them to put two alarm clocks. One near the bed and one far away from the bed, but you are not of that type. Since you are praying fajr, don’t let your ego overcome you . Raise the sword against your ego by reciting hasbunallah wa ni’ama ‘l-wakeel 100x, that is a sword against the ego.

Request:

Prayer request to help my family out of difficult financial times. My parents are involved in a serious financial case with the law and will have to go to court. They have wrongly been accused of taking money from a business and there is a chance they will be sentenced to prison. Please pray for my mother and father as they are innocent, also guide me by telling me which duas i need to do, to get out of this.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Recite 100x hasbunallah wa ni`ama ‘l-wakeel and 100x hasbunallah rabbunallah and the du`a of the blind man every day and state your problem in this du`a every day. insha-Allah they will be ok, we are praying for them.

Emotional Disturb

  
Question:

Assalamualaikum.

How to cure emotional disturb?i have bad thoughts and swear to islam, allah and his rasul-rasul. It makes me feel doubt about my deen, islam practice.
I feel confuse, lost. I feel was-was about myself, life. I feel stressful and it is unpleasant feeling too. Im not sure about my life here. I already tried to feel positive and clarify myself but still i will go back to it. Im not sure my way. I dont know how to make first step again, im scare i will fail and feel insecure.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is praying for your upliftment.

The first step is to repent sincerely, make ghusl, pray 2 raka`ts of Tawbah, and ask Allah to forgive you through the intermediation of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) by reciting:

السلام عليك يا رسول الله إني سمعت قول الله تعالى (وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآؤُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ اللّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ اللّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا) وإني اتيتك يا رسول الله مستغفرا ذنبي مستشفعا بك الى ربي

As-salamu `alayka ya Rasul-Allah. Inni sami`tu qawl allahu ta`ala: Wa law annahum idh zhalamoo anfusahum ja’ooka fa ’staghfaroollaha w ’astaghfara lahumu’r-rasoolu la-wajadoollaha tawwaban raheema . Wa inni ataytuka ya Rasulullahi mustaghfiran dhanbi mustashfi`an bika ila rabbi.

“Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah! I have heard Allah saying: {If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful}( 4:64), so I have come to you asking forgiveness for my sin, seeking your intercession with my Lord.”

Then most important after this is to take baya` (initiation) with a guiding murshid. We recommend to take online baya` with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

amiin..InshaAllah.
