Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How does the right course of action become clear to him?
The Shaykh : The right course of action becomes clear to him in several ways. First: his peace of mind with one of the two options, meaning he feels satisfied and at ease with it. Second: he may see in a dream something that strengthens one of the two possibilities. Third: he may hear words that give him a good omen regarding one of the two options. Fourth: one of the two options becomes easy for him to pursue, while the other becomes difficult.
