Question:
A few years back I saw that I was in a room with lots of sheikhs of old age and I’m the only young person. We are of a thought that Prophet Muhammad SAW is around (may be in the next room). What does this mean?
Answer:
When you associate with the lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) he is always around. When you remember him in yourself he (s) remembers you in his own self and when you remember him in a gathering he remembers you in a gathering that is better than your gathering, and Allah knows best. Being young among old mashaykh is good tidings for you, that you have the energy of youth for worship (`ibadah), but the religiosity of the elderly.
