Question:
As salaam o alikum,
I have been having dreams similar to this for the past few weeks where I’m continuously saying the shahada. I successfully say it in each dream. In my dream it feels as if I’m loosing my breath and in reality too so I try to say the shahada. If I’m not losing my breath I tend to just say it. Please can you tell me why I’m having this dream. JazakAllah!
Salaaam
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Awliyaullah are trying to inspire into you the reality of shahada, Haqiqat ash-Shahada, which is to witness the Signs of Allah’s Tawheed and the reality of Prophethood of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Make it your waking practice to recite the Shahada frequently, in particular before each Salat. From the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim via his calipha Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani at the level of sainthood, for each breath in and each breath out they experience one of the countless realities of the Shahada.
