What is the interpretation of a person's feeling intense religious and prayer-related misgivings (waswas), struggling to achieve devotion (khushu'), and crying because of the devil's whisperings (waswas)? And what is the connection of this to drawing closer to Allah Almighty, changing one's lifestyle, and seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream?

We ask Allah to accept your deeds and increase your commitment. If you see the Messenger — peace be upon him — in a dream, know that it is a true vision and a good tiding. This is due to the Prophet's — peace be upon him — saying: "Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me." This is an indication of the righteousness of the seer if the Prophet appears in his known form.
