Question:
As Salam Aleikum.
For the past few years, I have been witnessing erotic dreams while I sleep. I am 20 years old but still not married. Am I being possessed by evil spirits while I am asleep? Can you please tell me what to do to overcome this problem?
Thank you for your time and patience.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani said, “in the time of the Prophet (s) marriage was half of faith, but in our time, marriage is all of faith” which is an exaggerated way of stressing the importance of marriage in Islam.
So Allah knows best, you are not possessed, except by what possesses all youth. Rather it is simple, you need to get married, as do all single women and men in this time, which is era of endless arousal through the windows of the heart, which are the eyes.
Make firm intention to marry and make the effort for your family to find you a spouse, and this will stop, insha-Allah.
W ‘Allahu `alam,
Taher Siddiqu
