Question:
I was in a cave, my sis was there, i said to her you think this is heaven but its not, i was worried for her. I then see im in another cave, that cave felt like heaven to me,inside shaykh alyaqoubi was sitting, i was sitting in front of them with other pp
Answer:
The meaning is that sitting with Awliyaullah is heaven for believers on earth, because, as Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet (s) said: “When you pass by the Gardens of Paradise, avail yourselves of them.” The Companions asked: “What are the Gardens of Paradise, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “The circles of dhikr.” (Tirmidhi)
Hearts of the Awliya are always in constant Dhikr, so attending them is entering one of the Gardens of Paradise on earth. Allah knows best.
