Dream:
Assalaamu alaikum, Ya Sayyedi.
The night I came back from umrah I dreamt that I went to a great hall filled with pious men. When the crowd dispersed I sat in front in a chair and two men came and sat facing me. I became speechless when I saw them and all I could manage to say was: “Assalaamualaikum, Hazrat Abu Bakr, you have a beautiful face!” and “Assalaamu alaikum, Hazrat Ali, you too have a beautiful face!” Then Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) looked at me and I felt ashamed as he was looking into my heart. He said to me: “You have a strong heart, but…” and I was sad and ashamed and I said twice:”I know”. Then they stand up and leave.
I am very troubled and shaken by this dream. Can you interpret this dream, please? JazaakAllah.
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
This is a very good dream and good tidings to you to see the two main poles of spirituality from the Companions, Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) and Sayyidina Ali (r) and for them to look at you. This is confirmation of you having a deep spiritual connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and the Naqshband Golden Chain which contains in the silsilah Sayyidina Ja`far as-Sadiq (r) who is called majma` al-bahrayn, “the juncture of the two seas” for he has in his lineage physical and spiritual both Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) and Sayyidina Ali (r). What Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq(r) said to you is a reality as he is a Truth-teller (siddiq).
