Question:
Salaam, I am having these bad thoughts coming in my mind. I don’t know if it is intentional(hope its not)or unintentional thoughts. I have done some research online I found out that these waswas are a sign of faith. At times I feel very vulnerable & depressed. I don’t know whether Allah will forgive me,i can’t tell this to anyone and this is eating me from inside. I cant concentrate on studies. I really want to be a true Muslim, but these waswas are bad. The more i fight it the more i think of it. I need all the information to fight this, I don’t want to go here and there. I’m reluctant to tell my parents about it or to discuss this with a imam,I’m scared. I don’t want to die this way. I wish my enemy should not get these thoughts its very evil. Sometimes i am confused whether is it my thoughts or am i doing it purposely. I am starting to stay alone.
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam,
The Sahaba of the Prophet (s) were also afflicted by such whispers, and told the Prophet (s) that they were so ashamed of these they would rather die than mention them. So you are not experiencing something new.
Read the post “How to control shaytan’s whispers” and keep the advice there.

Request:
Dear Venerable Sir, I am requesting a prayer in my honor as a protection.
Recently I have been very concerned with heedfulness.
During this experience of turmoil and stress my intentions have been unclear. May I be free from ill will and not separated from the good fortune I have attained.
Response:
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you. Recite Ya Hafiz 100x daily.

Dream:
Assalamouilaikoum, After Fajr prayer, I decided to sleep a bit. I dreamt of a small spring with flowing water in an unknown place. It was beautiful and clean. I don’t know how i managed to reach level up with the spring such that i was standing right beside it on a stone. Then in my thoughts i was saying to myself that I have reached the top, i have to descend now. And i managed to go down to a certain extent but failed to reach down due to fear of the bite of a black snake. I was shaking it off.
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
Alhamdulillah the pure crystal flowing water indicates satisfying your spiritual thirst at the fountain of knowledge of our mashaykh, represented by the stone, which means they are the qiblah of our hearts and our constant support. Starting to descend and encountering a snake is a sign of weakness in opposing your ego and following your desires.
Keep to the daily awrad and insha-Allah you will defeat that evil, with the baraka of our Naqshbandi mashaykh.

Dream:
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatula,
I had a dream a couple weeks ago. I was walking around a snake and the snake was poised to bite me. I was trying to avoid it but it was able to bite me on the leg. However, its bite only penetrated my jeans, it didn’t reach my skin. What does this mean?
Also I am not a mureed of Sheikh Nazim, I live in NYC how can I take bayyah? Jazakullahu khair.
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
That is a good dream, that your enemy, your ego, could not get through your clothes, which represent your God-consciousness. Take baya` online and then try to join the New York Dhikr Circle, which meets weekly.

So Shaykh Nazim made dua for me and then he put his hand at my heart and a flow of current flow to my heart then flow to all my body and i feel it until i wake up. Thank You

Dream:
Salaam Alaikum, I have had a dream a few weeks ago and wrote asking it’s meaning – I saw myself wearing my clothes inside out. Alhomdollilah this question lead me to this site and to Mawlana Sheihk Nazim and I have since taken Bait – since then I have written several times without any response, does this mean my bait has been rejected? My requests for permission to visit Cyprus and other messages have gone without response and I feel a little lost – although Alhomdolllah may duas have been answered since taking bait.
Could someone please respond so I know I have a real connection, although in my soul I feel I do.
Salaam
Interpretation:
wa `alaykum salam,
The dream was showing you to take on the clothing of taqwa, which, is what happened, as it lead you to baya` so you have fufilled that dream.
As your soul seems clearly aware, you have a real connection so don’t be worried. Observe the Awrad of the Initiate as prescribed by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani. There is no need for murids to go to Cyprus at this time. Try to join the Dhikr circle nearest to you.
