Q: From the past two years, every proposal that comes for me on my door doesn't turn up ever again. I tried several amaliyaat and also few wazifas but the problem is still there. In this regard I was suggested by someone to do an istikhara and to intend to know from Allah Ta'ala what the problem actually is behind nobody turning up after seeing me. Last night I offered two nafls and read dua e istakhara as per the method, and slept. Just in a moment, I saw a black white cockroach crawling on my body near my neck. I have been reciting four quls after every Salah and before retiring to bed and I am punctual at offering Salaah five times a day. Please I want to know what this means, please interpret my dream and then suggest the remedy.
A: In times of hardship and difficulty one should turn to Allah Ta'ala. Believing that black magic will spoil one's future is haraam and nothing but superstition. All conditions ultimately come from Allah Ta'ala. A believer should place his reliance and trust in Allah Ta’ala. The more a person turns to Allah Ta’ala, the more he will find happiness and an exit from all his problems. For Allah Ta’ala alone is the controller of all affairs. Turning to Allah Ta’ala means that one refrains from sins and whatever leads to the displeasure of Allah Ta’ala. Similarly one should adhere to the sunnat of Rasulullah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in all aspects of life. After the five daily salaah make it a habit to recite aayatul kursi and the four Quls (i.e. Qul yaa ayyuhal kaafiroon, Qul huwallahu ahad, Qul a’oozu birabbil falaq, Qul a’oozu birabbi naas.) Similarly before sleeping recite these surahs and blow upon your body. Commence taleem of fazaail aamaal and fazaail sadaqaat everyday in your home and take out some time everyday where you engage in collective duaa, zikr and recite durood upon Nabi (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Recite the following dua after your five daily Salaah and make dua that Allah Ta'ala bless you with a pious and suitable spouse.
رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْر
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
