Dream:
Date of dream: June 22, 2011. I was riding a rickshaw and the seat was very high. The rickshaw puller wearing a white turban told me not to be worried. He asked me, “Don’t you want to pray?” I answered “Yes.” We stopped and I climbed down with much difficulty. I saw a lot of men and women dressed in Ihram clothing sitting in a mosque, and someone was speaking from inside. Next, I was sitting inside the mosque and writing the Ayatul Kursi on a piece of paper. A very young, unknown boy sat beside me and watched. I ran out of paper and wrote the last line of verses on the child’s forehead. He asked me if it was Yaseen, and I answered, “No, it is Yunus,” though, I’m certain that I wrote the Ayatul Kursi. At this point I woke up feeling a strange sense of joy.
Interpretation:
The child represents the state of your soul, which is being “dipped” in Allah’s Holy Words. You are being assisted by the saints, those in ihram, to move from the Station of the Throne, in the Divine Presence, to that of Sayyidina Yunus, who at first ran from his assigned task, as perhaps you are doing, preferring to meditate and stay in the magnificence of the Divine Presence. Then he was swallowed by a whale and after suffering in its belly, but surviving due to his constant tasbih, was later spat out on the shore. He then went and called his people, those of Mosul in present-day Iraq and they responded by repenting of wrongdoing and turning to Allah. Completing your mission of bringing the Divine message to those around you will take you forward then to the station of Yaseen, the holy name of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) which represents the heart of Quran, and Allah knows best the interpretation.
Keep up your love and focus on Quran and meditating on what you read, and as the saintly driver told you, increase your prayers, especially the Night Vigil, and you will continue insha-Allah this spiritual ascension. The dream shows you have been blessed by the du`as of our Shaykhs so thank Allah daily for that.
