Question:
Assalam o alay kum,
One day was sleeping with my 2.5yrs old son and saw the following dream:
I’m with shaykhs and reciting salam upon holy prophet (saw). We were facing a particular direction and there is our prophet standing. I could see prophet (saw) – Young personality with short beard. Since my sight was in a kind respect, I did not look in greater detail on Rasulallah’s facial description. During salawat I made mistake and I could see facing expressions(pointing out blessed tounge little bit with teeth) of prophet to not do that mistake. Thereupon I placed my head on the elderly shaykh.
At the other side, my aunty (older) was weeping due to worries she had and I’m saying her Rasulallah is here, your do not cry, talk to Rasulallah.
Please explain
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam,
a`udhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem
Ma sha Allah to see a dream with the Prophet (s) is an immense blessing that, as Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani has mentioned in other posts, will save you from seven difficulties in dunya and seven in akhira.
Your aunt crying in the dream indicates she will be happy in real life. The Prophet’s short beard and gentle reprimand indicate a shortcoming for you to work on through the guidance of your shaykh.
