Avoiding those places where the laws of Shari'ah are violated
Q: I have a dream related query. Last month I dreamt that I had found my mother lying face up In a public pool (dead) and I was quite shocked as she was in her abaya and scarf but her niqab was off. This month before fajr I dreamt that my family was dropping me off at the airport and she had gotten out the car and my father did not realize it and started driving off and her scarf got tangled in the car wheel and began choking her but she managed to free herself and the car stopped moving. I rushed to her and she was fine just shocked and teary eyed. Again she was not wearing her niqab. Both these dreams have disturbed me. Also another dream unrelated to the above. For the past five years or so I have been having dreams about my teeth and gums. In the dream my teeth always seem to fall out and sometimes my gums bleed but in all the dreams I am always in excruciating pain. I get these dreams a couple of times a year.
A: You should ensure that the places you frequent and people you associate with are conducive to your Imaani values and principles. You should avoid going to places where the laws of Shari'ah are violated and people are not Deeni conscious. Be punctual on Salaah and observe strict purda with all non-mahrams. Endeavour to adopt the Sunnah in all facets of life and avoid all avenues of sin (e.g. internet, TV, cellphone, wrong company, literature, etc).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
