Dream:

My father passed away about 3 months ago. Last night I saw Shaikh Hisham sitting in the living room of our house back home in Bangladesh. I go upstairs to look for something but mistakenly try to open the tenant’s apartment. The tenant lady comes out complaining. I maintain my composure and enter the right apartment. The apt. has furniture but no one lives in it. Then I find my grandmother in that apartment. She is a bit disheveled with her clothing. Don’t remember if I am able to find the object I was looking for. Someone tells me we have visitors. I hurry back downstairs and find my father and his first cousin (also passed away) sitting in the living room. My father gives me the most loving hug. I am caressing his face while hugging him. I start crying and then wake up in tears.

Interpretation:

audhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

Alhamdulillah, the spirits of those who passed away in a good spiritual condition are free.  The fact that your father and cousin visited you in the dream is a good tiding of their state in akhira. Looking in the wrong apartment and seeing the angry woman and your disheveled grandmother shows a pursuit of dunya, and leaving spiritual endeavors.   Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani appeared in the dream to direct your spiritual journey through his door to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani and the Naqshbandi Golden Chain leading to the Holy Prophet (s). W’Allahu a`lam.
