Question:
Asalamualaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
I dreamed this morning of Maulana Shaykh Nazim trying to smoke cigarettes I tried my best to stop him even taking it out of his mouth with the utmost respect. Can you ask Shaykh Hisham to pray for me inshallah.
Answer:
Walaikum assalam,
If the mureed see’s his Shaykh in a dream in a manner that does not befit the Shaykh, the mureed must know that the fault the Shaykh is showing is in the mureed. Smoking could mean some shortcoming in one’s manners, worship, or state.
Allah knows best,
Ali Elsayed
