Dream:
I dreamt that I got out of a car in the U.K. with some other people on a street that only has one entrance and one exit. On the opposite side of the road to where I was, I heard a voice of a Sudanese man reading Salawat on Holy Prophet (salla Allah alaihi wasalam) coming out of one of the houses (as if it were a mosque). I then turned around and noticed that the front yards of all the houses on my side of the street were packed with very old broken gravestones. I had a disturbed feeling. A large crowd was gathering in anticipation in a front garden of a house on the other side of the road , the way the press wait for an important person to emerge from a building. I was standing in front of the house that the person was going to come out of and was holding a plastic roll (sufra). I quickly moved out of the way so that the people could see the important person when he comes out of his house. When I moved, I moved towards the closed end of the street (next to the house/mosque) where Shaykh Hisham was sitting. He pointed to me to sit with the waiting people next to a normal man who I would accompany temporarily. I sat on the floor with the sufra under the man who was on the garden wall. This was after an istikhara for whether I should pay a bill myself or for my friend to pay it as was previously planned. There has been no way for me to be able to pay the bill and my friend told me that he should pay the bill.
Interpretation:
That means the istikhara is accepted for your friend to pay the bill. Passing through these homes with grave stones shows difficulties in life and that seeing the African man reciting salawat, the Prophet (s) likes Africans so much as he sent his companions to them for the first hijrah and that man doing that salawat is indication that you have traces of lineage from those Sahabah (r) who went to Habasha, Ethiopia, and the one appearing to you in the dream is one of the Sahabah who went on that hijrah and making that salawat is in order to make your life easy, because salawat will eliminate difficulties. That important man you were waiting for is Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q), and seeing me is more spiritual support in your life.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
