Question:
assalam o alaykum wr wb,
A few weeks ago i asked what was my spiritual name and i got a reply but it was a mans name and i am a woman, what does that mean?
Also my other question is when people die is it possible to communicate with them and how can i do it? as i have had experience in this but i want more information. are there any books on this? or general guidance?
Answer:
1) A spiritual name can be that of a man or it can be that of a woman. In different cultures the same name may not be masculine. This is your name, and it means the reflection of that name will be dressed on you.
2) when someone dies he can communicate with other people if his spirit is free, otherwise he cannot.
As for those non-Muslims women who say they can communicate with those who died before and hold hands around the table, men and women together, and begin to shake and say they are communicating with the dead relatives, this is all illusion and magician-style work.
