Question:
I
saw in a dream that I visited a shrine-like mausoleum with my family. My niece
remarked that her shoe had torn, adding that mine was broken as well; saying
this, she took my intact shoe and departed. To my left, four eggs appeared,
from one of which fluid was oozing. A personage appeared, declared, "This
is the First Qibla," vanished, and I offered prayers there.
Subsequently,
I saw myself in my home; as I went to hang laundry on the upper roof, a violent
gale and torrential downpour erupted.
Then,
I saw a physician administer an overdose of chloroform to my son. As I
panicked, the physician and my uncle consoled me. Returning thence, I came upon
a large textile boutique; having selected a scarf, I inquired about the price,
to which the shopkeeper replied that it was not for sale.
Answer:
Your
daily prayers are frequently missed, delayed, or offered with negligence and a
distracted heart. This laxity conflicts with your true nature. When noble
spiritual impulses arise within the soul and can be fulfilled with ease,
submitting to them is essential. The obligation of prayer holds paramount
significance; one must never permit sloth or neglect in its performance.
Offering your prayers punctually, imbued with reverence (khushū‘) and
humility, is imperative.
