Question:
Assalam o Alayum wr wb. Since I came back from Umrah 2008 when I close my eyes I see green light. A few days ago I prayed esha namaz and when I finished reading it I closed my eyes and saw the ism e zaat (Heart) with ALLAH written in Arabic in the heart in green. This is the second time this has happened to me in the past few weeks. Is it a sign that I am getting closer to ALLAH? OR is it a sign that I need to do somethng, I just don’t want to miss any signs from ALLAH. Please guide me
wsalam

audhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,
wa `alaykum salam,
سَنُرِيهِمۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فِى ٱلۡأَفَاقِ وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِہِمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ شَہِيدٌ
{We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth.} Surat al-Fussilat 41:53
Alhamdulillah, Allah (swt) is giving you a confirmation of faith, rewarding you for your belief and acts of worship. The sign itself is not the goal but a generous encouragement to always keep moving on your path. Keep dhikr “Allah, Allah” 1500 times a day or whatever you are able to do consistently.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَتَطۡمَٮِٕنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِۗ أَلَا بِذِڪۡرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطۡمَٮِٕنُّ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ
{Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah, for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.} Surat ar-Ra`d 13:28
