Rationality vs faith: Dreams

Question:

Salams Sheikh!

First, I’d like to thank MSN for his help. Secondly, I have a strange question; I will try to put into words: I come from a rational, secular background and have all these true and good dreams and visions mashAllah. Most people just tell me this is just hocus pocus and even that good, religious dreams are probably from Satan. I get really confused then. How do I stop myself from getting confused? I get stressed thinking about the worst case scenario all the time thinking it is probably Satan’s trick.

I am sane though. Thanks Sheikh, I hope you understand what I’m trying to ask. My rationality is ruining my belief.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

Keep company with people of spiritual knowledge. Attend a weekly or regular gathering of dhikr with the intention of putting into practice the Divine command that “if you are a believer, then keep company with the truthful ones.”

Hajj Gibril Haddad
