Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalamalaikum Brother,

I saw a dream 2 months back. That was in the day when I slept. I have a Non Muslim male friend at my work place. In my dream i see that we both are stuck in a building and searching to come out of that. When we ran towards one door we learnt that its a judicial court. So we returned back. Then on the opposite way there was a girl in red clothes (Bhootni). Then he takes me that side daringly. she didnt harm us. Finally we reach a masjid namaz hall. He left my hand and joined the Namaz. And i realise we are out of the problem. Alhamdulilah. Please brother let me know the Taabir of this dream I am really anxious to know it.

Answer:

Dreams

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 none 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, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of Prophetism, and whatever belongs to Prothetism can never be false." Muhammad bin Sirin said, 'There are three types of dreams:

• The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness,
• what is suggested by the Shaytaan 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.' "

The dreams that you experienced was most probably a mere reflection of your thoughts which you might have during wakefulness….And Allah Alone Knows Best.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
