| Answer:
I’m not particularly sure as to what these dreams
you’re experiencing mean. I am not good at interpreting dreams. What I can
suggest to you is that if you, or your parents, have received a proposal from a
man whom you’re not particularly confident about, you should resort to the
prayer of istikharah. Continue offering that supplication every now and then,
and more particularly, after saying your prayers. Sooner or later, as a result,
insha Allah, you’ll have inner strength and inclination towards the right
decision - i.e. whether you’d like to accept or reject the proposal.
We hear occasionally of people seeing dreams as a result of
the du‘a of istikharah, indicating them of the right response. I do not deny the
possibility of such guidance, but I myself haven’t experienced any dreams as a
result of doing istikharah nor do the wordings of the prayer itself make any
such suggestions. So in response to your filthy dreams, you should pray to God
Almighty that you get rid of them. These are the trials of life, and we need to
endure these hardships and pray to the One. In addition, we need to keep good
company, pray regularly, recite the Qur’an as much as possible, and remember God
as much as can be done. Before going to sleep, make sure that you pray to the
Almighty to spare you from experiencing such dreams.
And once again, for your decision-making, continue offering
the prayer of istikharah, ensuring that you understand what it means. The
Almighty hopefully will give you resoluteness in making the right decision.
