Dream:
Assalam u alayekum ya Qutab ul Mutasarrif !
I saw this dream sometime ago. I saw that I was present in a gathering where Sheikh Ilyas Qadri (head of Dawat e Islami) was present. Someone told me there that he is also a qutub of present era.
Is it so as mentioned in dream?
If yes, then may I take feyz from his sohba in case I meet him?

Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
`Alaykum as-Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is our Murshid and our whole lifetime would not be too much to seek after his fayd exclusively of any other. This is Mawlana Shaykh Hisham’s mission with us and he orders us to show respect to all and gives us leeway to visit other recognized Tariqas or Shaykhs as long as we wear Mawlana’s turban; but his emphasis is on our concentration on Mawlana’s teachings and his Maqam.
Shaykh `Ali b. al-Mubarak asked his teacher the Ghawth `Abd al-`Aziz al-Dabbagh one day: “So-and-so has come to our area for a visit. May I go see him and benefit from him? They say he is a qutb.” Shaykh `Abd al-`Aziz said yes. Shaykh `Ali went, then, after some time, came back to visit with Shaykh `Abd al-`Aziz. “How was your visit?” the latter asked. “Not as I had expected, O my beloved teacher,” replied Shaykh `Ali. Shaykh `Abd al-`Aziz looked at him and said: “O Shaykh `Ali, all the Qutbs and Awliya are right here in my chest. I am your lot among the Shuyukh and you are my lot among the Murids.” After that Shaykh `Ali never asked such a question again.
