Question:
Salam sir,
In my dream i saw Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (R.A)(light coming from his face). I hugged him and then he very lovingly made me sit beside him on a bench. He told me that I am very humble and I should not be this humble. I cannot understand.
Answer:
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh,
This is a very good dream inshaAllah and there are two interpretations for what Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani meant: 1) that you should not mistake humbleness with lowliness and humiliation, because the Prophet, salla Allahu `alayhi wa sallam, warned against humiliating oneself. 2) that the Shaykh was instructing you to understand that true humbleness does not come as a result of one’s own efforts but as a gift from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Wassalam
Ali Hussain
