Dream:
Assalammualaikum
I had a dream a few months ago. I was coming down an escalator in a mall and at the bottom were some tables and chairs. Mawlana was sat smoking a shisha pipe and be blew out the smoke and smiles and says to me ‘dunya‘. At this point he also asked me if I had read his book called dunya. I have been searching high and low for it but no one seems to know what I am talking about. Is there an external meaning to this?
Thank you very much for your time.
Assalammualaikum
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
As our mashaykh are our mirrors, seeing Mawlana smoking a shisha means leave what bad manners you are doing, for the mashaykh see everything and want their murids on the best conduct. Sitting in a mall, speaking of dunya, is again an indication to turn away from it and towards devotion and Divine service.
W ‘Allahu `alam,
