Salam
I used to place much store in dreams when i was a seeker, but looking back I can only say one dream was 'genuine' and maybe a couple of others...maybe. But once inside Islam and under Allah's guidance we learn that they are a weapon of satan. So be careful. At the end of the day we have to surrender our will and purpose freely to God - while we have the capacity to do it.
I suggest the following supplication for the seeker of truth. This supplication is offered with 2 rakaats of salat and Allah has never failed me. If the one who wishes to supplicate to God is not a muslim - but a genuine seeker, then I suggest a shower first as an offering of sincerity.
A Supplication of the Seeker
Oh My God
If Allah is truly your name
And Islam is the true religion
And if Islam is good for me
In this life and the life to come
Then open my breast
And place the love of You
And love for your religion
Inside my heart
But if Allah is not your name
And Islam is not the true religion
And if it will not be good for me
In this life and the life to come
Then close my breast to it
And remove it far far away from me
And replace it with what is better.
Amin
