Ask A Question About Islam And Muslims

30 Questions

In Quran we read in Sura Al-Kahn, verse 50: Do you take Shaitan and his offspring’s friends rather than Me? This means that Iblus has offspring. Iblis is from the Jinn who have males and females among them. There are narrations in Sunni and Shia books about Shaitan’s homo way of reproduction but we can not confirm the degree of the authenticity of those narrations.

Wassalam.

I am sorry to hear you are in a difficult situation.

Dreams come from various places. Sometimes they are true, sometimes they are false, and sometimes they are a mix. Sometimes they are from Allah, sometimes they are from Shaytan, and sometimes they are from neither. 

Dreams can be affected by our physical health and psychiatric health, and if you have a significant health challenge or psychiatric condition, it is worth taking that into consideration when interpreting dreams. (For instance, a person who is physically unwell might have a dream about an attack, because the body feels it is being attacked, but does not know how to express it.)

Apart from that... if you are seeking hope, in general, in difficult times, it is good to ignore the dream, because Allah is merciful and always with us, even in hard times.

However, if you are hoping to obtain something specific (for instance, you want to marry a specific person or get a specific job), then it is worth considering that this might be a sign that that path is not meant for you. That interpretation may not be certain, but it is worth considering. 

With duas for your situation

Whispering of Shaitan does not need his physical presence in front of us, as Shaitan is able to whisper to us from far and we don't see him. Shaitan whispered to Adam and Eve and Talal oath that he is advising them for their benefit. They never thought that anyone can take a false oath. They did not commit any sin by eating from the tree because they were never been ordered but just been advised. Doing against an advice is not a sin but it was better to avoid it.

'Wassalam.

It may not be Shaytan. You would need some evidence of that. It may be because, when you pray, sometimes you suspend the actively thinking part of your mind. Your mind relaxes in some sense. If you feel a yawn coming try to slow down in your actions slightly, close your mouth, breathe slowly in through your nose and regulate your breathing before continuing.
