The project I told I am working on is VeilofFreedom.com. The main reason for this project is to elate and honor the integrity and practice of Hijab by muslimahs all over the world and for all muslim sisters, and for the non-Muslim sisters, to learn more about Islam and how it liberates them giving freedom and protection at the same time. The website will serves as the 1st ,female only, muslim community , where they can discuss and talk about different issues of life.
You can find forums and portals all over the internet, catering to all the community , let it be sports, fashion, new, common interest blah blah….and thats where the idea of a hijabi community comes in!(though its more over a muslim female community). I havnt found any such community have searched a lot over google!
So i hav been workign on it for like a month now. And though it was supposed to release on 20th ramdan. I failed. As i didnt get much support from any where.!

Wa’Alykaam Assalaam Warahmatuhlahi Wabrakatuh!
Dear Sister, when you feel sad, your heart gets tight, tears well up in the corners of your eyes and you want to cry. Think back to this post insha Allah and remember that hardships are happening all over the world. Perhaps at the exact same time as you. You are not alone in this.
Thousands of brothers, sisters and their small children have no water in Palestine at all. Not for cooking, to drink or to even bathe. Sub’han Allah! There is always someone else with more hardship than ourselves.
Allah tests His slaves on the strength of their religion and according to their position in His eyes. “When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked which people suffered the greatest affliction, he replied, “The prophets, then those who come next to them, then those who come next to them. A man is afflicted in keeping his religion. If he is firm in his religion his trial is severe, but if there is weakness in his religion it is made light for him, and it continues like that till he walks on the earth having no sin.”
The Prophet (peace on him) said: “The case of a believer is wonderful; there is good for him in everything and this characteristic is exclusively for him alone. If he experiences some thing pleasant, he is grateful to Allah and that is good for him, and if he comes across some adversity, he is patient and submissive and that for is good for him.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Wait for a near happy ending from Almighty Allah. No doubt, relief is after grief and easiness is after hardship. The days are turns. There is no loss at all for one who enjoys good faith in his heart. Surely, Allah will lead you to what is better for you with His Will.
May Allah rectify your affairs immediately!
And I know very well of the Muslims in MI. Do not allow shaytan to fool you into thinking no one cares and that there is no one good there. Go to your community with your baby in your hand and ask for help. Remind them that Allaah swt loves those who help others in their times of needs. Check for masjids using islamicfinder.com and go there for the fajr and the isha salat. Most likely the best ones will come at those times so look for them and ask for help. Do not allow your shame to stop you from asking for help from a kind looking brother. If they blow you off go to the next and the next till your needs are satisfied. Be humble, simple and grateful. And I advise you to remember Allaah (swt) much. I love you for the sake of Allaah my sister. Tell me what happens when you have done this, please..
Sincerely,
Halimah bint David
I forgot to mention that my suggestion is to start searching for a home right from where you are, before thinking about moving somewhere else.
Another thing to add:
Here are some cheap homes:

But I don’t know about your community and the city where you live.
Bismi Allah Arrahmani Arraheem
I am posting this because it might help not only the sister, but many other families, inChaa Allah. I need your help sister: can you take this flyer below to almost all the mosques (as much as you can) to be distributed among Muslims, and tell them it’s from Brother Salaheddine Elhassani in South Bend, IN.
————————————–Message to Mosques———-
Buying Homes in US for Muslims
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatu Allah
This is your brother Salaheddine Elhassani, you may notice that some Muslims are weak or getting weaker if they stay in rent. So Allah Subhanahu wa Taala has guided me to prepare this flyer, so they can get out of rent inChaa Allah:
http://www.beneficence.us/6-work/home-purchasing.html
http://www.beneficence.us/6-work/home-purchasing-english.html
Can you distribute this flyer among Muslims and hang it somewhere? Time is very critical and many homes are now low on prices. Can you also send it to other Masjids in your city as well? You can also take the content and change it or put it on your website and take off the links to this website, you have all rights, permissions and authorizations, for the sake of the face of Allah.
Also if you know some more information (Good search websites for homes, Islamic financing companies…), you can add it, no problem inChaa Allah, and let me know, so I am able to add it to the flyer.
I know there were some fatwas and opinions mentioning something like some of these financing companies are not Shari’a compliant, but we don’t know, they may have already corrected their system; and we don’t know if by the time the Muslims contact them, they would have already corrected it. Also we don’t know if really the fatwas were done after a thorough analysis of the companies’ contracts and agreements. Also Muslims may not even need to use these companies, they may just borrow money from their friends and relatives.
Here are some examples of how low prices are, Ma Chaa Allah:
http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/SINGLE-FAMILY_HOME,CONDO,TOWNHOUSE,COOP,APARTMENT,MULTI-FAMILY_type/1000-30000_price/resale,new_homes_lt/Las_Vegas,NV/
http://www.homepath.com/search.html?openHouse=&st=NV&cno=000&ci=Las+Vegas&zip=&src_ref=&mlsid=&pi=&pa=40000&bdi=&bhi=&x=0&y=0
I need your help to get this عمل صالح righteous work inChaa Allah achieved inChaa Allah, and Allah Subhanahu wa Taala can give you your reward. Jazakum Allah Khairan.
Your brother Salaheddine, South Bend, IN
701-298-7874
224-201-7280
Note: Do not look for a home for yourself only, or delay the message from being known to other brothers and families, let them get a home soon also, Allah knows best who is in greater need. But at the same time don’t just send it to them and let you family wait. In any case let this go, because it might be a relief for a poor family that you and I don’t even know about. Also this might help a lot of Muslims to be able to pray more in a group prayer.
——————–End of Message to Mosques——————–
Also I advise you sister to no matter what: read your daily Koran and do your daily Dhikr and keep company of the believers through circles of knowledge in Mosques as much as possible, and keep taking your children to keep company of the believers even through these hurdships. And give the rights of others to them and ask Allah your rights, and do taqwa in everything and ask Allah forgiveness almost after evey action you do, basically trying to follow the example of the prophet PBUH… I urge you to read this book: http://yassine.net/en/mishkate/pages/YOChapterDetailPage.aspx?BookID=118&isBook=OK&ChapterID=6
and learn from this scholar, he will most probably guide you more than I would.
Also, you know yourself and your situation and your mistakes and your capabilities more than I do: so take whatever is good from what I told you and leave whatever is not.
This message is for everyone to take to their Mosques, not just this sister, because homes are cheap now and the monthly Islamic financing payment will be a lot lower than rent for many homes.
Tell them Brother Salaheddine suggests that probably the best help for me and my 3 boys is to get away from rent and get one of those homes, because the prices are low these days (and make sure the ownership is to the Mosque community, until you pay them back inChaa Allah), and make sure you put down almost all the money you have into the house also, because you need to earn that house inChaa Allah, even try to remember the people who didn’t give you your money back and contact them to give you back what they took from you.
Again no matter what, keep remembering Allah SWT and read the words of Allah (His book Al-Koran) on a daily basis, and do not be from the heedless, and the other advices I mentioned above about taqwa and so on.
For Halimah Bint David, From Tahani. AL-Idani Dear sister thank you for the beuitifull reply I do forget sometimes, too often that there are people suffering in Palastine or somewhere else more than I and my 3 children.

Bismillaah (In The Name of Allah)
Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatuhlahi Wabarakatuh!
I am so sorry to hear of your plight. May Allah ease your pain and your burden. I hope all of your affairs will be rectified. Tahani we are a weak and poor lot in these late days of Islam. It is rare and difficult to find any monetary help through the internet world. Due to people’s mistrusting natures, cyber-crime, and rallying within our ranks to disunite us, our hearts have turned cold, our eyes tear up less, and our minds are mush. I highly suggest you turn to your physical community please and plea your case. It is the communities duty to provide for the divorced and widowed women and that of your father. Please go to your father and the children’s father (he has to help by giving you money for the kids) ask for help also in’shaa Allah. I mean not to shame you or harm you in any way. I just hate to see you in this position waiting for help from internet friends that may share secrets and will give salams but never ever help from their wealth.
May Allah rectify your affairs for you immediately and cause us to forgive and love throughout our entire Ummah. Please do not fall through the cracks in your own community, in’sha Allaah.
There is a Salafi sisters group from Philly on Yahoo. If you are not already in it join there and tell them too.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/salafisisters/?yguid=266424882
I think it is really disgusting to ask too many details on a person’s situation when they ask for help and/or to rebuke them. Authoobillah! If you are going to help then help, but don’t sit there and ask questions toying with a brother or sister. No matter what we always get the reward if our intention is to help someone. Even if they are lying we get the reward. So don’t run from the reward, be wise in your dealings and don’t treat the person badly. If you have a feeling they are lying then back off. Don’t shun them as they deserve the benefit of the doubt. May Allah help you Tahani to find the help you need.
I can’t help but to point out that one of the ways Allah increases our rizq is through helping others in their times of need. This has been documented too in, Alleviating Grievances in Describing the Condition of the
Strangers By: Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbalee.
http://survivorsareus.blogspot.com/2009/11/alleviating-grievances-in-describing.html
Really the truth of the matter is we as Muslims CANNOT afford To Not give.
Relieving The Believers Hardships By: Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalee
http://survivorsareus.blogspot.com/2009/12/relieving-believers-hardships.html
Charity for the sake of Allaah is one of the ways to increase a person’s rizq. There are three types of charity in Islam. The two obligatory types are Zakaat and Zakaat al-Fitr. The third type is Sadaqah and Sadaqah is encouraged at all times and places.
The scholar said all of these three types of charities come under ‘spending in the way of Allaah.’ Whether we pay Zakaat to the poor, helps build a Masjid, supports an Islamic school, or takes responsibility for the welfare of orphans, widow, or students of knowledge, all of these noble tasks will bring the desired reward. The point is we should spend of our wealth on causes that are pleasing to Allaah.
Scholars said there are numerous evidences that prove spending in the way of Allaah is the direct cause for being blessed with extra wealth. Allaah says in these two verses:
“O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (lawfully) earned” [C. 2, 267]
In the next verse, Allaah explain why He wants us to spend in His cause.
“Shaytaan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahshaa’ (evil deeds); whereas Allaah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty, and Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower” [C. 2, 268]
In Tafsir at-Tabari, Ibn ‘Abbas, the companion of the Prophet ( ) said in relation to this verse, “Shaytaan promise you poverty by telling you “Don’t spend your money! You are more in need of it!” and commands you ‘with indecent deeds’. Yet Allaah promise you forgiveness from Him for the sins that you do, and in sustenance, He promises you to increase your rizq!” [Tafsir at-Tabari]
Subhan Allaah, how wonderful this is! Give more and you get more. Allaah words is more than enough for us but He wants to emphasis this great deed by adding “His Promise” to this noble action of spending in His cause.
In another Hadeeth, the Prophet ( ) said, “There is not a single day in which a servant wakes up except that two angels come down (from the Heavens). One of them says, ‘O Allaah! Give to the one that spends, a substitute (for what he has spent).” And the other one says, ‘O Allaah! Give to the one that withholds (of his money), destruction!’” [Sahih Bukhaari]
And Allah Knows Best!
Also, I suggest you open a Paypal account so that it is easier for people to help you, in’sha Allaah. I am sorry about that advise the brother gave you I thought it was a horrible advise myself regarding the flyers and the housing market however he had a right to say his thoughts.
The Qur’aan and Sunnah have informed us of certain acts that cause an increase in our rizq (wealth). The scholars mentioned many such acts guaranteed to cause financial increase in this world – if done properly and for the sake of Allaah. I will only be able to mention some, Insha Allaah.
1) First and foremost Taqwa of Allaah –
One of the primary ways to increase our rizq (wealth) is to increase our Taqwa of Allaah. First we must define and understand Taqwa according to our righteous predecessors, as-Salaf-as-Saalih.
The famous Hadeeth scholar, Imaam an-Nawawii died in 676 Hijrah said: Taqwa is to implement (Allaah’s) commands and prohibitions because its essence is to protect you from Allaah’s punishment and anger, all glory be to Him. End Quote. [Tahrir Alfaaz al-Tanbiih]
Therefore, the essence of Taqwa involves being God conscious, obeying His commandments, and avoiding His prohibitions. It involves constantly remembering Allaah, hoping for His mercy, and fearing His punishment.
Scholars said there are numbers of evidences that show Taqwa causes the increase in a person’s rizq but I will mention one.
Allaah states:
“And whosoever have taqwa of Allaah and keep his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from sources he could never imagine.” [C. 65, v. 2&3]
The famous Qur’an scholar, Imaam Ibn Kathir died in 774 Hijrah said: This verse means that whoever fears Allaah concerning His commands (by performing them), and leave His prohibitions, then Allaah will make an escape from his difficulty, and Allaah will provide him sustenance (and aid) from sources that he did not expect. End Quote. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
2) Seeking Forgiveness and Repentance:
Another primary ways by which we can increase our rizq (provision) is to seek Allaah’s forgiveness. When we turn in repentance to Allaah, He rewards us by accepting our repentance, change our sins into good deeds, and bless us with worldly gain.
Many people mistakenly believe that one must only say, “Astaghfirullaah, meaning I seek Allaah’s forgiveness” in order for a person to repent. However, this is not the proper repentance praised in the Qur’aan and Sunnah.
The scholars have laid down certain conditions for any repentance accepted by Allaah.
First and most important condition is that repentance be made immediately purely for the sake of Allaah. No worldly factor should influence a person’s motive for this religious act.
Secondly, the person should stop performing the evil act.
Thirdly, the person should make a sincere intention not to return to that sin.
Fourthly, he should feel guilty over the sin that he has committed, for feeling a true sense of shame and remorse is part of repentance. The Prophet ( ) said, “Remorse is repentance.” (Sahih Hadeeth by Ahmad and Ibn Maajah, authenticated by al-Albaani).
Fifthly, one should seek Allaah’s forgiveness both verbally and actions.
Verbally can be done by any of the phrases that have been mentioned in the Qur’aan or Sunnah, the most common one is saying ‘Astaghfirullaah’.
As for actions, such a person should increase doing good deeds because Allaah said, “Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds.” [C. 11, v. 114]
Lastly, if the sin involved taking others’ right or involved harming others, then we must return their rights or seek their forgiveness.
These are the conditions.
Scholars said there are a number of evidences that show seeking forgiveness increases one’s rizq but I will mention one.
Allaah states in the Qur’aan that Prophet Nuh (Alaih-as-Salam) said to his people:
“I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord. Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving, He will (then) send rain to you in abundance and give you increase in wealth and children and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” [C. 71, v. 10-12]
Scholars said this verse proves a number of points:
- Allaah is the one that forgives sins continually, He is Oft-Forgiving.
- Seeking forgiveness causes Allaah to bless the people by sending them rain, not just once, but continually time after time since Allaah said ‘in abundance’.
- Seeking forgiveness also causes a person to increase in money and children since Allaah said, ‘increase your wealth and sons’.
- Seeking forgiveness also causes a person to gain property and land since Allaah said, ‘He will give you gardens’.
- Lastly, Seeking forgiveness also ensures the proper cultivation of those lands as Allaah said, ‘He will give you rivers’.
Imaam Ibn Kathir said: This verse means if you repent to Allaah and seek His forgiveness and obey Him, then your rizq (provisions) will increase and you will be fed from the blessings of the skies and the fruits of the earth will grow for you and the crops would grow and the udder (cow’s milk) would be full and He will give you property, wealth and children, and He will give you gardens of all types of fruit and scatter therein running streams. End Quote. [Tafsir ibn Kathir]
In Tafsir al-Qurtubii, a person came to the famous successor, al-Hasan al-Basrii, son of Zayd ibn Thabit, the companion of the Prophet’s ( ), complained to him of drought. Al-Hasan replied, “Seek Allaah’s forgiveness.”
A second person came to him and asked him to pray that Allaah bless him with a child. Al-Hasan said, “Seek Allaah’s forgiveness.”
Yet a third person came to him and complained that his crop was not fruitful. Once again, al-Hasan said, “Seek Allaah’s forgiveness.”
One of his students said, “Different people came to you with different complains, yet you ordered all of them to do the same things: to seek Allaah’s forgiveness!”
Al-Hasan replied, “I did not say anything from myself! Allaah has said in Surah Nuh and he recited the previous verse:
“I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord. Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving, He will (then) send rain to you in abundance and give you increase in wealth and children and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” [Tafsir al-Qurtubii]
3) Tawakkul, Putting one’s trust in Allaah:
Another factor that causes wealth to increase is to put trust in Allaah, realizing that nothing occurs except with the will of Allaah, and whatever occurs, occurs because of Divine Wisdom.
Scholars said the topic of Tawakkul is very important and frequently misunderstood. Briefly put, the essence of Tawakkul involves attaching one’s heart to Allaah, putting trust in Him in your heart. True Tawakkul does not mean leaving the actions that are necessary to achieve one’s goal. On the contrary, it is necessary that a person strive, with all efforts and in all permissible ways, choosing the best path to achieve the desired goal while realizing that such efforts will not accomplish unless Allaah has willed. Tawakkul does not mean being lazy and not taking the necessary precautions. You do your best with what you have and you put your trust in Allaah that everything will be fine, Insha Allaah.
A Bedouin came to the Prophet ( ) and asked, “Should I tie my camel up (to prevent it from running away), or should I put my trust in Allaah?”
This Bedouin thought like many confused Muslims of our time that Tawakkul meant leaving the necessary precautions and not doing one’s best to achieve the desired goal but the Prophet ( ) informed him of the true nature of Tawakkul. He replied, “Tie it up and put your trust (in Allaah)!” [Sahih Hadeeth by Ibn Hibbaan and Hakim, authenticated by adh-Dhahabi]
Scholars said there are a number of evidences that show putting trust in Allaah increases one’s rizq but I will mention one.
Allaah (AZ) says:
“And whosoever puts trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him. Verily Allaah, will accomplish his purpose.” [C. 65, v. 3]
The Prophet ( )said, “If you were to put trust in Allaah the way that Allaah deserves, then you would be provided for as the birds are;” [Sahih Hadeeth from the Sunaan, authenticated by adh-Dhahabi, Shaakir, and al-Albaani]
4) Constantly worshipping Allaah:
Another way that causes rizq to increase is by constantly worshipping Allaah, striving for the Hereafter.
Scholars said this does not imply that we stay in the Masjid all day, and pray all night, leaving our duties toward our family and business. This means we are always conscious of his worship.
The concept of worship in Islam is not limited to a few physical acts, such as prostration and recitation. Rather, every single act, if done for the sake of Allaah, becomes an act of worship. Such a person is kind to his family and others, honest to customers, helps others and feeds the poor, sincerely all for the sake of Allaah.
Scholars said there are a number of evidences that show constantly worshipping Allaah increases one’s rizq but I will mention one.
In Qudsii Hadith, the Prophet ( ) said; Allaah said, “O son of Adam! Take time out to constantly worship me, I will fill your chest with richness and remove your poverty; And if you do not do so, I will make your hands filled with occupation and will not remove your poverty. [Sahih Hadeeth by at-Tirmidhii, Ibn Maajah, and others, authenticated by al-Albaani]
Allaah informs us that those who worship Him constantly; will be rewarded by having their hearts filled with richness. True richness is blessings bestowed by Allaah to the believers and comprise peace and contentment of the heart.
The rich people are those who feel content with what they have even if others perceive it as though they have little.
5) Thanking Allaah:
Another means, which cause an increase in our wealth, is the continual thanking of Allaah. When people are grateful for the blessings that Allaah gives them, Allaah then increases these blessings.
Allaah states:
“And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: ‘If you are thankful, I will give you more and if you are thankless. Verily, My Punishment is indeed severe.” [C. 14, v. 7]
Imaam Ibn Kathir said: If you appreciate Allaah favor on you, Allaah will give you more of it. End Quote. [Tafsir ibn Kathir]
Shaytan makes us not thankful. When we received something, we wish that we received something else better.
We wish we had better car, bigger house, more properties and so forth. I am not talking about needs. I am talking about wants. I am not talking about necessity. I am talking about what is unnecessary.
Remember, that thankfulness is not on the tongue alone, it must be accompanied with our action too.
“Work you, O family of Daawuud (David), in thankfulness!” [C. 34, v. 13]
The height of thankfulness is to use the blessing of Allaah to come closer to Allaah. And the height of ingratitude is to misuse the blessing of Allaah to distance yourself from Allaah.
And Allah Knows Best!
May Allah allow you to benefit from this advise and rectify all your affairs immediately. I love you for the sake of Allah. When you have read this privately email me back please and let me know.

I want to help someone who is under the evil influence of someone else. I cannot be physically near to the person so if a prayer involves blowing on them or anything like that I wont be able.
Is there anything I can do to help this person?

Dear Brothers and Sisters
To all the Brothers and Sisters who are NOT Medical Doctors, yet they feel free to practice Hijama. There has been many incidents in several countries, where people just based on a simple course for Hijama Techniques started to practice Hijama on other Muslim Brothers and Sisters, and in certain cases, many people fainted, collapsed, got badly infected, bled almost to death, and that is all due to the fact that Hijama is a medical procedure, and hence has to be performed ONLY by a Medical Doctor and no one else, and by the grace and blessings of ALLAH ( swt ), nowadays there are many Muslim and non-Muslim Doctors around the world who perform Hijama. There is a Hadith that our beloved Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh ), had said that anyone who undertakes a job or a certain work while he lacks the skill thereof, then he is responsible and accountable before ALLAH ( swt ) for the consequences.
In my country i have many cases where Hijama did not nearly achieve the results it should, simply because it was not performed by a doctor, in my case, and because i was determined to find a doctor, then when i had it done for my chronic sinusitis by a medical doctor, my sinus infection totally disappeared by the grace of ALLAH ( swt ).
Thank you

Bism ALLAH AlRahman AlRaheem.
before answering my fatwa i would request you to sincerly make Duaa for Allah to help me and my family through life and protect us from every evil.
This might seem unbelievable but let me get into the details; my sister and i used to be what you could call not guided and we engaged in many evil acts, we were ignorant of Islamic teachings and we were rather astray, Alhamduli’Allah, Allah the most Merciful made us explore the beauty of Islam step by step and its light penetrated reaching the core of our hearts and we loved the reading the Quran and learning from it because it linked us to a divine experiance that was spiritually uplifting. Alhamduli’Allah, Allah also made us get rid of many bad habits and foul language as we became more attached to our faith. It continued to be like that and our souls could be desribed as soft birds who were present physically on earth but emotionally and spiritually in heavens as we were very attached to the gift of faith that Alllah has given us. This is untill we moved and entered an international academy in our country, and this is became a remarkable change in our lives.( The country we live in is targetted because of geographical reasons and therefore there are many forgein agents who come here for mischief). As we entered the international academy, my sister and i noticed that there was alot of secular ideology spread as well as many misconceptions and alot of oppression ( the staff who cleans the academy was very mistreated by teachers and students), there was very corrupt behavior. My sister and i felt pity for many of the students in our academy because we were comparing our situation before Allah guided us to Islam and we considered to approach them in a gentle concerned manner inorder for us to share this light of faith, but little did we know we had hidden enemies!: the founders of the academy as well as the principal were linked to western branches and they were secretly on a mission to christianise the school students!!! This fact was revealed to us months after the upcoming of our graduation. However let me get back to the problem. The problem is there was secret agents hidding there identity as christian missionaries and they had a coptic background, they never approached us however they would give me and my sister suspicious looks while standing on the corner, and they used to spy on us by sending some students to ask us personal questions and they reached the point of taking out photographs!!!! Let me continue,,, and so we were confused by these actions they do and often we report bad incidents to the principal but he would totally ignore them. A while passed and me and my sister were stressed about the evil actions these people do and how they encorage students to engage in immoral behavior, me and my sister were their potential enemies. As i mentioned before the main goal of these missionaries and the founders of the academy was to christianise students, they would send christian students to open up the topic of christianity to students as well as give them anti Islamic websites inorder to rage misconceptions and turmoil, and this was easy for them because most of the students in the academy were abroad in the west and they had very little Islamic knowledge. As to my sister and i , they had other plans. These people knew that if they open a debate with a practing Muslim , they would easily be defeated and so they did not send christian students to open the topic of christianity to us, however they did what was more dreadful: SORCERY.
They practiced sorcery on my sister first, and this type of sorcery they did for christianising. The symptoms my sister continued to whine about: she feels depressed, she feels tired, she feels sleepy the whole time and they through time escallated: she started seeing images and hearing whispers calling her name, she was having nightmares seeing snakes and worst of all she was having forcing whispers telling her to become a christian and she started seeing the shape of the cross being embossed in other shapes, she used to cry for very long and she was suffering alot. She told me what she was going through and i couldnt believe her at first i thought she was probably kidding and trying to get my attention or something but after a short while i started to have very disturbing dreams and then i noticed that whenever i look in the mirror there would be a whisper telling me look at yourself you look similar to jesus, i didnt know why i was having these whispers all of the sudden, then i would look at the ceramic and the same whisper would tell me look at these ceramic lines they make a shape of the cross, and worst of all i started seeing images when i look towards the east direction of a man with loose sleeves laying his arms out. At this point i was convinced that my sister and i were suffering from the same thing and so i started to contact an Islamic authority in my country and told them that we experienced this after we entered in this school and how the agents used to give us suspiciose looks and he told me that if the founders of the academy we attend to are suspectable then there is a big chance that they planned this together and he told me that they practiced a sort of black magic, this man who i contacted knew alot of the actions of christians in this country because he has a Phd on christian studies and he told us that we should go to an trustworthy Islamic centre for Ruqia. As time went through, it also came to our knowledge that the academy we attend is linked with a famouse freemason politican in our country which makes it even more shocking. We are in need of Allah’s support and Mercy and want you to give us a good feedback and instructions on how to act knowing all this. In addition we alos would like you to make Duaa that we get better and for Allah to make it easier for us to read the Quran on daily basis like we used to and do more good acts and for ALLAH to protect us from ever evil.
Please make Duaa for us to get better and Jazakum Allah khair.

Asalamualakum,
I was wondering when doing the removing of sihr, you stated to get 7 leaves of the lotus, but there are different kinds of plants that are called lotus that are very different. Can you please be more specific with what it looks like or even how we can get this?
Thank you for everything
Bismillaah. Assalaamu Alaikum! All praise is to Allaah Lord and Cherisher of the worlds. I testify that none and nothing has the right to be worshiped except Allaah alone and that Muhammad is His Final Messenger.
Its big round like dried green leaves easily available in Asian stores in America. Otherwise take any leaf from any lotus pants and use. And Allaah knows Best!
Bismillaah. Assalaamu Alaikum! All praise is to Allaah Lord and Cherisher of the worlds. I testify that none and nothing has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone and Muhammad is His Final Messenger.
Amiin. Thumma. Amiin.
Recite Sura al-Kahf first ten ayat after tashahad before salam in every salat. Ask Allah for refuge from ad-Dajjal, trials in this life and in the next life before the salam in every salat also.
Ad-Dajjal only harms us by the permission of Allaah. The night terrors will not last forever. This life is short though it feels so long and so terrible. Trust in Allah and pray out to Him (swt) at all times. Remember to make prescribed dhikr and dua at their affixed times. When the people laugh and mock for not following him, remember that all Allah’s Prophets and Messengers were mocked and harmed for their adherence to the tawhid of Allaah.
I pray these forty days are almost over. May Allaah forgive us of the evil of ourselves, our hands our desires. We repent and turn to ya Rahman, ar-Rahiim, ya Ghafoor and ya Ghaffar to forgive us for the sin we do knowingly and unknowingly. May our hardships and pain be sources of pleasure and reward for us in this life as well as the next. May we be blessed with sirratul mustaqiim, clothed with the clothes of at- tooba and placed in the highest of Jannat Firdaus al-alaa easily with no reckoning. May ya Wahhid and Ya Ahad suffice us against our enemies, grant us tawfiq and make us of those who constantly purify themselves and remember Allah as He has legislated us to remember Him (swt). Amin
Bismillaah. Assalaamu Alaikum! All praise is to Allaah Lord and Cherisher of the worlds. I testify that none and nothing has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone and Muhammad is His Final Messenger.
As your a child I must advise you against using the internet and posting comments inviting others to message you. The world is filled with terrible people who look to hurt and betray the weak, young and old with out mercy. Never ever post you are a child and never ever give out your email address, physical address, phone number and never agree to meet someone somewhere. Even if they say they are also a child. This is very important. Grown adults get killed and robbed all the time due to their careless behavior with the internet. Allaah knows best!

I don’t know sister. Allaah Knows Best!
