the issue of dreams it's something which is make it something which
makes some people very happy. And it's something which also causes a
lot of grief to other people.
The there are just so many people that constantly become really, you
can say besotted really engrossed in a particular dream. It then
makes them really paranoid. And essentially what this is all about
is that this is normally to do with nightmares. Now I want to
clarify something. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
and men and women, Allah will Hello, Mina shaytaan.
Dreams are from ALLAH SubhanA, WA Tada
and the hilum, which is a particular type of dream, that
which causes fright, it's a nightmare essentially, is from the
shaytaan. So first and foremost, we understand that bad dreams are
from the shaytaan, though they are from Allah subhanaw taala, because
Allah is the Creator of everything. But specifically, when
a bad dream happens, the shaytaan has got a lot to do with it.
You might think, why is it that shaytaan or when you see a bad
dream, it could be related to something that happened 10 years
ago, it could be something that happened to when you were very
young, something that happened to somebody that you know very well
that you love, for example, and it could be just seen them in some
really bad states.
Not to say that any dream that frightens you has to always be
from the shaytaan it could actually be a message from Allah
subhanho wa taala, it could be something else as well. But in
general, whenever we see a, a dream that is considered to be
nightmarish, that is frightening, it's going to be from the
shaytaan. Now you're wondering, how is it possible for all of
these particular details, because sometimes you in your dream,
you're recalling something that happened so long ago, and it's got
a really bad twist to it.
With all these details come from Well remember, every human being
has a shade bond with them, which is designated for that particular
person from the beginning. From the birth, Hadith, a Muslim speaks
about the shaytans being designated with a human being when
a person does dhikr. The shaytaan retreats comes back whatsoever in
hundreds everybody has the shaytaan prophets of Allah Islam
said, I have the shade plan as well, but mine has been subdued or
mine has become a Muslim. Right? Mine has been overcome. But every
human being has a shaytan that tells them to do bad things that
whispers
so having said that, it's not far fetched to realize, you know, to
to understand now that these really particular details that you
might see in your dream, the shaytaan has been with you has
retained all of this information he can bring in these bits of
information. Now, the thing is that the shaytaan is quite
pathetic in the sense that if you read our Altavilla administrate
Tanya regime, the shaytaan will retreat.
As opposed to a very persistent friend as such, like a human,
human Shavon when they want you to do something you can be sitting
and reading are ultimately live in a shape on your resume as many
times as you want. And they're not going to retreat, they're going to
keep coming at you Oh, it's only just do it once. You know you have
to be with me, come on, you can't let me down. You can't do this.
You can't do that. But when it comes to dreams, the Prophet
sallallahu sallam said one thing very similar, very simple. He
said, spit likely to your left three times when what that is
like,
right? Not like, you know, it's not to, you know, muster up a lot
of saliva and like throw it up. It's just an act a symbolic
gesture of degrading someone. Right of floating, someone
repelling someone shaytaan says turn around, go to sleep.
And subhanAllah you must have realized you must have you may
have noticed this but dreams are the fastest things to be
forgotten.
Because then there's no reality to them as such. They just clear that
their imagination, just thoughts and raw through our lamb. That's
what the king was told the king the medic missile during term use
varicella when he saw this great dream about what was to happen the
years of drought and the years of prosperity. He was told by his
people who are not very good dream interpreters at Allahu Allah Rama
nanometre.
will allow me behind me in the hall for Allah Allahu Allah means
scattered thoughts. Scattered thoughts means these are just
thoughts that you've been thinking about in the last few days. And
now it's come in the form of a dream. When when that happens,
people get really paranoid Subhanallah and they start getting
really worried that I've seen in my Drina Well, you've been
thinking about, you've been besotted with this, just Altavilla
get out of it. So if it's a truly an evil dream, that is from the
shaytaan anyway, otherwise, it's clear that now when we say it's
completely from the shaytaan, when we say that we were speaking about
something that you haven't really been thinking about something 10
years old, and suddenly, you've seen a bedroom, maybe you didn't
read your doors properly before going to sleep, if you read your
doors, you will be protected more from that. The other thing is that
it depends on the time that you see the dream as well. Going I
mean, let's just finish off the the one fact is that if you do see
a bad dream, literally the Promise of Allah some said spit lightly to
your left, turn around and go to sleep. Don't ever tell anybody
that is he? What happens sometimes you see even a good dream, you may
see some really pious dream. And by the end of the day, the details
of that, if you haven't said it to anybody, if you haven't rehearsed
it to yourself, if you haven't voiced it over yourself and kind
of written it down or anything like that, details of that will
become really, really hazy. And you'll start forgetting it. In one
or two days, it'll be totally forgotten. You know, we forget
even things that happen in real life in a few days, thanks to
forgetfulness. If it wasn't for forgetfulness, as a human faculty,
can you believe it, that we would have such such great problems,
because all of our losses would constantly add up and our losses
will, will will be all combined. And we'd feel as bad as we did the
day that it actually occurred. The benefit of forgetfulness is that
we start getting used to it, we start thinking about other things.
So we need to ignore it. Shaytan is going to prey on us.
Shaytan is going to prey on us. If we become frightened by it. Yes,
this is a guy, you know, when you want to bother someone, right? You
know, when you're younger, you want to just kind of mess around
with someone, you're normally not going to pick on someone who
doesn't really care who's so laid back, you can say whatever you
wanted, and they're just gonna sit back and do nothing. Normally,
it's people who get irritated. They're preyed on by bullies and
others, because they that the face they make, the expressions that
they do, when they break down and they start crying, then they
become emotionally affected by it, that really bothers them. So,
people who are mean, they prey on that kind of attitude, that kind
of mentality, that kind of behavior. shaytaan is the same
thing. Shaytan finds a person that is going to be able to frighten,
he's going to frighten him more wants to frighten them to take
them away from the deen from piety from trusting Allah subhanaw taala
I will be live in a shaytani regime, go to sleep, inshallah
you'll overcome it. Now, if you've already been engrossed in a dream,
and you've been frightened about something for a few days, because
you've really built it up. Obviously, it's going to take a
bit longer to come out of it, pray to Allah subhanaw taala and try to
forget it. I mean, I get so many emails, subhanAllah write so many
emails, it's about a dream. And I have to say look, I don't
interpret dreams, but yours just seems so clearly from the shape
and just our older Biller, just try to forget it. It's very
difficult to forget it after a few days, because you've been so
besotted, you've been going over and over, you've told so many
different people, right? You've been thinking about it, it'll take
a bit longer, but that will also inshallah be removed.
So that is specifically to speak about the bad dreams. If you see a
dream before Fajr, meaning around future time, then those are most
likely going to be more true. Because of Rosa Rosa said that in
a circle. route you have it as her that the truest of dreams are seen
at that time. If it's seen afterwards, in your extended
sleep, then the less likely to be truthful. Having said that, it
doesn't mean that every dream you see at Fajr time are going to be
definitely true. And that's something you have to be really
concerned about. And so when you see a good dream, then it's a good
idea if you want to to go and seek a
interpretation for it. But again, don't become so. So fixated by
your dreams that your whole life is then run by your dreams. For
example, when you're doing istikhara as well. You don't have
to necessarily see a dream. There are people who until they don't
see a dream, then they'll think that my istikhara is not complete.
I have to get somebody else to do it. It's the horror and a dream
that there is not much of a connection between the two in the
Hadith. Yes, some people do see a dream. They see some glad tidings
about something or maybe maybe they see something negative about
something they're making us the horror about in their dreams, but
it's not necessary.
So don't become too indulgent talk too engrossed too infatuated, and
paranoid when it comes to especially the bad ones, because
the promise that was visited her Lumo minute shaytaan are all the
bIllahi min ash shaytani regime, and just pray to Allah subhanaw
taala to protect us from the shaytaan. Because remember, she
knows everything about us from the time that we were
from the time we were born, so he's going to use that against us.
May Allah subhanaw taala protect us from bad dreams and from the
shaytaan you know, even if you wake up sweaty or whatever, it
doesn't matter, just older, beloved Turner goes to sleep.
Don't tell don't tell it to others. Once you start telling it
to others, you've just solidified it, and shaytan is going to start
attacking you a bit more. There's obviously then the fact that if
you see the promise of a loss in your dream that's covered, you
know, different in a different session anyway, just like a lot
later on.
