Waking Visions

Question:

salam alaykom wa rahmatullah w barakatu

When I was a child I used to have very vivid dreams of bad events and within a few days that dream comes true. For example I would dream of a car accident and that same exact scene I would see it later on the road. As  I grew older the dreams became something that happens while I’m awake. It is hard to explain but suddenly something is made known to me. It can be a whole conversation that I hear or I see something that someone did. or something strange and then later it actually happens as it appeared to me or I find out that it really happened. Unfortunately, it is always bad things that I see. And sometimes when I see them it makes me sad from that person because I realize what they said or did to me. But I try not to change my attitude with them because no one will understand anything if I do. But there are times when I sense someone’s intention is bad towards me, and it makes me really try to avoid that person. Can you please tell me what this is? I’m afraid if it’s a jinn communicating with me. Sometimes I try to stop the image because sometimes it is something very disturbing but it does not stop and I start to shake from it. Like for example, once I had an image of myself in a lot of danger at night and no one there to help me. It made me shake and that image kept appearing it would not leave me. And only few days later that danger that I saw came to me in real life. I think that what I see or hear is truth because too many times I find it in reality later. But I don’t know if this is coming from a bad source like jinn or shaytan or a pure source. It is always of bad things and never anything good. Even if I see something good for a person, I see it happening to them but in the end when it happens in reality it becomes something bad for them. I never share what I see or hear with anyone because I don’t believe it is for anyone but me. Can you please help me understand what the source of this is? And if it is from something evil please tell me how to get rid of it? If it is from something pure please tell me how to preserve it?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullah,

Many people have a similar experience to what you are seeing. This is the sixth sense that Allah (swt) gave that to you from childhood. But the ego always takes the direction of badness. Try to take it in the direction of goodness by reciting 1000x hasbuna’Llah wa ni`mal wakeel. That will take that special capability in the direction of goodness and you will no longer get visions of what is bad, but see only good things.  And insha-Allah that works soon and be sure to wear the tawiz of our Mawlana Shaykh Nazim.

There are such people that Allah created in the ummah they are on footsteps of awliya. They are on the hadith of the Prophet (s) where he said, “I observe the deeds of my Nation, and if I see good I praise Allah and if I see other than that I ask forgiveness for them.”

You carry a trace of this prophetic specialty. You are a carrier of what is happening around you. You are tasked with bearing the burdens of others and taking them and throwing them in the ocean. That is a good sign, but use it in the Way of Allah by reciting as mentioned.
