Question:
Assamualaykum ya Sayidi Mawlana Syeik Hisyam and Syeikh Gibril,
I want to ask about a dream, please forgive me and give me advise my Sayyid:
1. My dream is I am in halaqah dzikir with another Naqshbandi murid and Mawlana Syeikh Hisyam lead the dzikir and he asks me what dzikir and I do dzikir with awrad from my late syeikh give me. Mawlana Syeikh Hisyam said you can put my name in your silsilah.
2. One of authorized murid come to my dream and he said you must rabita to my late syeikh.
What is the meaning of my dream? Before that I practice the Naqshbandi book and prayers. Now I do awrad from my syeikh and another awrad because I already have ijazah from another syeikh and I am always makging rabitha to Mawlana Syeikh Nazim, Syeikh Hisyam and give ihda tawab to Naqshbandi Suyukh first and then my silsilah and another syeikh
Wa asalamualaykum
Answer:
Wa ‘alaykum salam,
1) Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is one of the great saints who is connected to many silsilas, including that of your deceased Shaykh, may Allah bless his soul, perhaps through spiritual (Uwaisi) link or perhaps a physical one.
2) Keep rabita to your deceased Shaykh, out of love and respect, and then your rabita is to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and include Shaykh Hisham out of love and respect as well.
Allah knows best.
