Dream about Father

Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa

upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Recently I had a
dream of my father. My father passed away around 6 months ago. In this dream I
asked my father that is there God. When I asked him this question he started
crying and then my dream ended. Another time I asked him again then angrily he
said No there is no God. The reason that I think is that he had cancer and we
prayed a lot. And helped needy people a lot. I think
he was "angry" with God for taking him from his family. If you can
answer why he said there is no God, if he is in so called "

Answer:
Dream about father
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.144 Narrated
by Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, 'There are
three types of dreams: The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has
during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, or glad
tidings from Allah. So, if someone has a
dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer
a prayer.' "
Not all
dreams that are experienced by people are true.
Only the good dreams which convey glad tidings from Allah Subhanah can be deemed true. Besides, one cannot use dreams to determine the
articles of faith of whether there is Allah or not, or whether there is
The dream
that you have dictated whereby you saw your deceased father
who said there is no God, is definitely a dream from the avowed enemy of man,
the Shaitaan; who will use any and all means at his
disposal to misguide people from the Straight Path. Neither should you believe what you saw in
that dream, nor should you give it an atom’s weight of importance, nor should
you even relate this dream to anyone.
Seek the refuge in Allah Subhanah from the
accursed Shaitaan, and Allah Subhanah
will keep you in His Protection and Mercy.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
