Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei

Tracking code: #Q-3157

Dear استاد, if someone dreams of flying but, on reaching deep valleys, is cautious about flying over them for fear of falling mid-flight, could this point to certain moral vices in that person? They act cautiously, taking a stepped path instead of entering the deep valley. Please advise this person. Also, what should they do to make this flight a reality? Do you have a particular prayer or recommendation for them? Please guide them.

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

A flight under divine command is safe from falling, so there is no need to fear the valleys. But any flight without divine guidance is itself a fall. If the flight takes off from the runway of ascension to the realm of jinn and humans, under the command of the sacred threshold, God is the guide along the way.

When the flight takes off from the runway of the ascent of the two realms, under the supreme command of the Sacred Threshold, its guide along the way is surely God Himself. There is then no need to fear the abyss. Otherwise, every flight is a fall mistaken for flight.
