Dream:
Dear Shaykh, Assalamu alaykum,
Since becoming a mureed of Maulana in the Summer of 2010, and that after much hesitation and reluctance, I have seen him in my dreams several times, even though I will say that I am not a very good mureed as I find it quite a challenge to do all that a good mureed should do, however, I try to do what I feel is within my abilities.
In dreams, which I have had since becoming a mureed, I have seen Maulana fighting the evil in my troublesome mother, I have seen Maulana talking to me, and I have seen him wearing green clothes and sitting down on the ground, looking away from me as I see the dream.
Please can you say what it means, generally, if we see Maulana in dreams or is this question too general? Please forgive me and ignore my enquiry if you do not like my question. May Allah bless you all. Salams again.
Interpretation:
Seeing Mawlana Shaykh is always a blessing for he, as a warith Muhammadi, a Muhammadan Inheritor of our time, also inherits from the prophetic specialty, where the Prophet (s) said, “whoever saw me in the dream saw me in reality (or will see me in the waking state).” Thus seeing the shaykh is real, not imaginary, nor deceit. Seeing any wali is purification for the viewer, and seeing the Warith Muhammadi, one falls under what the Shaykh inherits of the Prophetic Specialty mentioned in the hadith:
“I observe the deeds (`amal) of my nation and if I find good I praise Allah and if I find other than that I seek forgiveness for them.”
From the teaching of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, falling under the observation of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim means he tallies up your good actions, and your bad actions and in Salat an-Najat, every morning before Salat al-Fajr, seeks Allah’s forgiveness for all his murids, and then on top of that, dresses them with whatever lights, blessings and bounties he is receiving. Connecting in baya` to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim you have come to a bounteous friend indeed. He gifts his murids from what Allah has granted him of levels and stations and blessings without them doing anything to deserve it and alhamdulillah for that.
