Dream:
Salaam Sayiddi,
I hope you and the family are in the best of health. I recently dreamt:
1. I saw a lion dressed like a human trying to kill me, and I was shown a house from which the lion was being sent.
2. saw MSH giving a handkerchief from her dead grandmother to a woman as proof of his waliyat. She does not believe and Sayiddi then does some kind of trick with the handkerchief in the air. The woman’s head appears mid-air and then vanishes. MSH then turns to me and warns me of something very powerful in my life trying to harm me. At this point I feel a presence between me and MSH ( I feel it has claws). MSH tells me to be careful and say’s he is also powerless against this thing.
Please, what does this mean?
Jazakallah khayr
Interpretation:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
The house is yourself and the clawed beast is your ego (nafs). Mawlana Shaykh Hisham’s words to you represent the hadith of the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) to his daughter: “I can do nothing for you without Allah, act to correct your own nafs” (Bukhari and Muslim) and to the Sahabi Rabi`a b. Malik al-Aslami who had said he wanted to be near the Prophet in Paradise, whereupon he replied: “In that case help me against your nafs by prostrating often” (Sahih Muslim). The prostration here stands for dhikr and voluntary worship, i.e. take to heart and keep closely the guidance of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim for safety here and hereafter.
