Dream:
Dear Shaykh, Assalamu alaykum,
Many years ago, I saw this dream. Please could you tell me what it means? I saw Rasool Allah sal Allahu alayhi wasallam as a young child. He looked like he was age about 6 years or so and he was in the arms of a lady who was wrapped in a ‘chador‘ with only her face showing. The ‘chador‘ was dark and printed with some small light print, if I remember it correctly. She was smiling and right next to her was standing some gentleman who was taller than her. Rasool Allah (SA) was wearing a white thobe and he was practically laying in the arms of this lady and he was smiling too. His hair was dark and curly and plentiful. In the background was the outdoors of what could have been Arabia with sand coloured simple building and it was daytime. Thank you. May Allah SWT bless you.
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
Seeing the Prophet (s) in the age of a child is a great sign to you, because seeing Rasulullah (s) in a dream means you saw him in reality. His age in the dream is an indication of your spiritual age. The blessed woman holding him was most likely Halima as-Sa`diyya (upon whom be Allah’s endless blessings), his nursemaid, indicating you are in need of someone to nurse you to adulthood. That someone is your Shaykh whom Allah wrote as your spiritual master in pre-destiny.
And Allah knows best,
Taher Siddiqui
