Question:
Salaam,
This dream happened around 6 years ago. I dreamt of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s maqam in my house and he came out of the maqam and told me he wants to pray. I got him a small prayer mat and when he was praying, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim changed to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham and the prayer mat changed to normal size.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
This is a good dream where Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is adding to the blessing of your home in illustration of the hadith of the man asking the Prophet (saws) to come to his home and pray in it, which the Prophet (saws) did. In addition, Mawlana is telling you to keep the routine of praying at night as that is the time of nearness to Allah and connection of the heart. The change to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is to show you that Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is Mawlana Shaykh Nazim for us, no difference spiritually and following him is indeed following Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Finally, the normal size is a sign for you not to be afraid as Allah does not task a soul beyond its capacity, so do your best and success is from Him.
