A follower asks about experiencing unusual bleeding after resuming prayer post-menstruation, wondering if it's related to reading Surat Al-Baqarah. The speaker suggests that it is likely 'istihadha' (non-menstrual bleeding) caused by Jinn or evil eye, often provoked by spiritual practices like Surat Al-Baqarah. He advises seeking counsel from trusted religious figures but suggests that if the bleeding is not typical and has no odor, one can make wudu for each prayer and continue praying, treating it as an act of Satan rather than menstruation. He emphasizes the importance of continued spiritual protection through ruqyah and playing Surat Al-Baqarah at home.
The speaker advises followers to continue their spiritual practices, as all confusion and questions will eventually be answered by Allah. He warns against viewing Istighfar as a task to be completed, but rather as an integral part of life, like prayer. He acknowledges that not all sins are equal, and some may require years of consistent Istighfar, citing his own experience with usurious loans. He reiterates that with Istighfar, there is no confusion, only blessings, provision, and answers to every question. He concludes by urging listeners to abandon sins and turn to Allah for forgiveness, reinforcing the idea that following his message is akin to making an allegiance on a path of truth.
The speaker begins by greeting the audience and clarifying that he is not a mufti, but states that what is permissible and forbidden is clear. He then advises listeners to consult their hearts when seeking guidance, emphasizing that acts like usury are unequivocally forbidden. He stresses that true understanding comes from inner conviction, not just external rules.
The speaker offers advice to religious scholars and all Muslims who believe they are on the path of truth. He observes that many Muslims are confused in this era, performing religious acts like prayer, fasting, and Hajj, but failing to see the manifestations of Quranic verses in their lives. He suggests that this disorientation stems from a lack of true application and understanding of religious texts, rather than any flaw in the religion itself. He urges scholars to apply what they preach, noting that some scholars eloquently discuss Istighfar or Surat Al-Baqarah without truly practicing them.
He asserts that one cannot achieve anything or understand anything without consistent Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and reading Surat Al-Baqarah. He explains that confusion will end by combining these two practices, but stresses that it requires a gradual and patient approach, similar to learning medicine. He advises against rushing the process, recalling that the Prophet Muhammad taught his companions for 13 years. He emphasizes that one should truly live and integrate the verses into their life to experience their full benefits.
A follower shares a dream in which the speaker, Muhammad Hijazi, was in a green garden, sitting under a tree. A man was shaking his hand in allegiance (bay'ah), with one hand extended for greeting and the other on his shoulder, and they were reciting Al-Fatiha. The dream evoked Quranic verses about allegiance, suggesting that those who follow Hijazi are on a righteous path and that their allegiance is to Allah.
The speaker interprets the dream as a beautiful and promising sign that he and his followers are on the right path. He believes that those who follow his method of consistent Istighfar and Surat Al-Baqarah will reach Allah. He notes that after he committed to Istighfar in Ramadan 2022, signs and indications of Allah's desire to bring change to the Ummah began to appear.
A follower shares their journey of overcoming severe problems, distress, and persistent sins through consistent Istighfar (up to 30,000 times a day) and Surat Al-Baqarah. The follower describes how they struggled with repetitive sins, despite repenting, until they discovered the speaker's channel through divine intervention. They experienced psychological relief, reduced problems, and their family also started practicing Istighfar. They also recounted a near-disaster with a pressure cooker, which they attributed to the effects of their spiritual practices against evil, and mentioned starting a new business venture.
A follower from Algeria asks if Istighfar can restore intelligence, quick wit, and memory, as she has experienced a decline in these abilities despite being exceptional in her studies previously. She describes difficulties with concentration, forgetfulness, and navigating familiar areas. The speaker advises her to strengthen her spiritual defenses through morning and evening supplications, ruqyah water, playing Surat Al-Baqarah at home, using blessed oil, and reciting the last two verses of Surat Al-Baqarah and Ayat Al-Kursi before sleep. He assures her that consistent Istighfar will improve her intellectual abilities and overall condition.
Another follower, who has been following the speaker's channel for two years, asks whether there are specific conditions for performing Istighfar, such as wudu (ablution), facing the Qibla, or wearing a hijab. She also asks if she can perform Istighfar while doing other activities or watching the speaker's videos. The speaker clarifies that Istighfar can be done at any time, in any state, and during any activity, stressing its constant nature. He distinguishes it from Salat (prayer), which has specific forms, emphasizing that Istighfar is a continuous state of seeking forgiveness.
