Asalamu ‘alaikum, Firstly, jazak Allah for all of the questions you have answered for me. I want to remove the thought of this dream that I had a few weeks ago. At sunrise time, I went to sleep and I had this dream- before I went to sleep, I think I made du’a to Allah and said the shahadah before sleeping. I also think I had started writing a hamd (poem) and the night before I had finished, al hamdu lillah, a hamd on Asma ul husna. So I dreamt of 4 particular things. I don’t know the order, but I remember seeing a lecturer talk about something to do with Islam, then all of the sudden I looked out of the window to see a beautiful scene of snow in my garden with the orangy-red night sky. Then I remember being on my prayer mat, facing the qiblah and making du’aa unto Allah. I remember supplicating Ya Mu’min (WAllahu ‘alam) and I then saw a tree next to me (it was black and I think it had no leaves), it seemed like it was doing ruku’ (WAllahu ‘alam) and coming towards me, I kept on moving my head away and was still doing the du’aa. I woke up still mumbling the du’a. What could this mean? Jazak Allahu Khair for your continued patience. Ma’ salam.

The dream indicates that there is indifference toward faith, good deeds, exhorting for truth and patience. It requires paying special attention to strengthen them. Study the commentary of Surah Al-Asr in Maariful Quran written by Mufti Muhammad Shafi? and assess yourself.
