Question:
Salam alaikum
Dream:I saw a light passing by and I ‘recognized’ it as Jibril AS. When I saw him I made salawat on the Prophet, hoping Jibril would pass my salawat to the Prophet. Sb said ‘you did bay’a directly with Jibril’. I said: no, I sent salawat
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam,
You were granted the fadl, benefit, of having made baya` to the Prophet (s) through the intermediaryship of your Shaykh and Allah knows best. Mabruk! This indicates your great love of Holy Qur’an and its holy Messenger Sayyidina Gibril (as) as well as to the Prophet (s) through the baraka of your Shaykh. Gibril (as) represents the station of Shaykhhood for he was the teacher of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in dunya. And Allah alone knows best.
