Question:
Asalamalikum,
I sometimes feel as if Allah is sending inspirations to me, telling me things I should do and what name of His I should say, sometimes letting me ask a question about Him and telling me about Himself! In dreams I get told that read this Surah, or while reciting Quran I hear special messages! I become really spiritual and I feel great love for Allah and His creations! But sometimes I feel doubts, like what if its Satan who telling me to do things, or my own mind! and then I leave everything in fear! Also I was named by the Prophet Muhammad in my mothers dream, so is there a connection?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
That is your signal to set out on the Sufi Path. The shaykhs are opening some of the veils on your spiritual hearing and sight, to encourage to move towards Allah swt.
Most important, is to take the hand of a guiding shaykh, murshid. This will help you to know what are whispers vs. what is from heavenly sources. As to your mother’s dream, that is a strong indication that you will be one who has a spiritual calling (murad).
