			Mufti Abdul Rahman ibn Yusuf
Osama.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Dreams is a fascinating subject.
It's something of course that
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			affects all you some of you
tonight. It's well, that's what he
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			thinks. But we'll come we'll come
on. It's a part of it. It affects
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			absolutely everybody. You're doing
a 10 week course, teaching people
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			is it about understanding dreams
about dream interpretation, tell
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			us a bit more. I think the main
impetus behind the course is
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			really to give
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			give an understanding of what
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			the basic types of dreams are.
Because what we've got is we've
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			got people who are absolutely
obsessed by their dreams, and they
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			want to read into every single
submission. Absolutely. But they,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			you know, you get these questions.
And generally, it could just be
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			about something you've been
thinking about. So some people,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			they totally disregard them. Some
people, they become obsessed by
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			them. And I think the truth is
somewhere in the middle, because
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			it's three types of dreams, as
mentioned in the Quran itself, so
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			you've got a device.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			That's, that is just your thoughts
of the day, any concerns, you have
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			anxieties you have, so you'll
you'll actually see them at night
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			and you remember him all night?
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			About the back of my head because
you're staring at me.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			Right, then you've got a year in
Arabic, it's called a rote, rote
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			Yamuna Walkman. So here are the
truthful dreams that come from the
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			Merciful One, which is Allah
subhanaw taala. These the good
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			ones, those are the good ones.
Those are the good ones. They
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			terrify truthful, they are the
ones that have the possibility of
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			being some meaning behind.
Absolutely. And then you've got an
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			Hello Momina shape on. So those
are the frightening ones,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			generally from the shaytaan. And
what about him as well.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			So that's so those are the three
compartments. I mean, right. Even
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			Serena humbler wrote a phenomenal
book.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			What was his qualification? I
mean, he seemed to be able to hit
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			the nail on the head. Yeah, he was
quite amazing. I think there's two
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			levels of this one is you can, you
can get to a certain level of
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			dream interpretation. But then
just like everything else, there's
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			another level that is God, given
what we call, it's from Allah. And
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			even Assyrian definitely had that
use value. Salam had that. So some
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			people would get it the more Taqwa
you have, and the more knowledge
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			you have, you would obviously go
further. Right? So So on your
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			course, are you? As I said, Are
you teaching people to interpret
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			their dreams to understand not
entirely know that I don't want
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			that to be a misconception?
Because really, what it is, is to
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			understand the reality of where
dreams come from, what are they so
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			you can be better equipped to
understand whether you need to
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			give any significance to your
dream and maybe help your family
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			members, for example, I mean, many
people may not know this, but it
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			mentions in a hadith, that sort of
loss of license said that dreams
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			are left suspended until you
interpret them. Right now, that's
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			a very kind of complicated
statement. Interesting. In fact,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			in another one, it says that the
dreams are suspended on the on the
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			foot of a bird. And if you
interpret it, you will drop to be
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			careful of the way you interpret
it. Right? So based on that, now,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			when you see a frightening dream,
it says that you should just say I
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			will do bIllahi min ash shaytani R
rajim. I seek refuge in Allah
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			from, from the shaytaan turn
around, spit on the side, just
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			lightly, just to show kind of
disregard for the shutdown because
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			it's generally shaytaan trying to
scare you, and turn around go to
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			sleep. Every time you tell
somebody your dream, you're just
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			solidifying it. Because at the end
of the day, it's a dream is just
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			an imagination. I suppose that
brings us actually to your work,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			Dr. Muhammad because there must be
some truth in life. People are
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			having reoccurring dreams. And
then they're telling people,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			they're constantly going over
those dreams. It reinforces the
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			dream or reinforces the fear. And
dreams are a big thing in in post
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			traumatic stress. Yeah, and
there's some one of the symptoms
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			in PTSD. It's like a dream when it
comes to the worst or barely dream
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			like nightmares. But in general in
psychology, we as brother had
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			mentioned about auto Hallam. So
it's about thought for the the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			person if you consider in your
day, daily life, it was something
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			that you were thinking so it's
equity dimension, could be
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:14
			something related to the past.
Something's happening to you and
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			you are concerned about it or have
or worried about it, or
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			something's about your present
life, or something's you're
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:27
			thinking in the future. So these
311 10 weeks, I was thinking once
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			every Saturday, what is it how is
once every Saturday how that is?
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			Well, what we're going to do first
is we're going to go through the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			dreams mentioned in the Quran. So
just in sort of use of I mean,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			another name for that could be the
sort of dreams because got three
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			dreams in their use of Iceland's
own dream, which came to light
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			only 40 years afterwards. So dream
interpretation, you know, the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			reality of it only hit after 40
years. Then you've got when he saw
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			those two people in prison he was
exactly the one who's going to
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			serve. And then a third is the
king's dream himself, which then
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			was a cause for him to come out.
Then there's one
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			to other other dreams indicating a
session in itself. That's more
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			than probably a more than one of
the things we touched on last
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			night very briefly with Sheikh
Mohammed Sharif was here he was
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			talking about esta Hara and how to
make decisions. Now that's also an
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			interesting area with relation to
dreams because people sometimes
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			feel he Do you know, indications
from a dream? Well, the thing
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			about istikhara dreams, I've
looked through many of the Hadith,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			the Hadith that speak about is the
Hora and I haven't come across a
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			hadith that speaks about you
getting an answer in your dream,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			that is generally one way of
through experience that you will
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			get an answer. A lot of people
will contact me and say, you know,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			I've been doing istikhara for this
long, I haven't seen a dream yet.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			You don't need to see a dream, you
know, we really need to clarify
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			that you don't need to see a
dream, you just essentially where
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			your mind goes up and you could
see a dream. What is the
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			understanding? I've got a personal
one for you here. What is the
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			understanding of? Because we know
from our you know, it is yeah, we
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			know from our belief as Muslims
that no one knows the future,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			right? Only Allah knows the
future. But sometimes people dream
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			of things that come to pass. And
sometimes I dreamt that one of my
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			daughters would have blue eyes,
and no one in my family has blue
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			eyes. And a week before she was
born, I dropped to blue eyes. And
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			my daughter has blue eyes. This
was just something that happened
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			to me. It's never happened. You
know, it's one of those things.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			How do we understand dreams live?
Well, nobody knows that the future
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:19
			except ALLAH. So he has. He's
omniscient. He knows everything,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			even for the future. So it could
be from Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			But then you can't become obsessed
by affecting things. Every dream
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			of yours is from Allah and telling
you about something. And then
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			going back to that, because that
is where it gets a bit difficult
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			difficulty. What are people seeing
the promise on asylum in their
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			dreams? Well, that's the only
thing where you can you can be
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			confirmed of a reality because
probably the loss of themselves
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			said, Whoever sees me in his dream
has really seen me, because
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			shaytaan cannot impersonate me.
And the reason is that what this
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:51
			allows him is 100%, hoc, truth and
profit. And the shapefile is 100%
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			volatile. And that is where Allah
subhanaw taala hasn't allowed any
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			kind of confusion to occur. So if
you see
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			finding out what kind of people
other than Him are likely to come
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			on your cost, do you think what's
going to be pretty good? Well,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			we've already got a number of
people that are on the call your
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			teachers, given the one of his
views.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			What kind of people that you can
bring in for an experience, we've
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:18
			got generally a quite a wide range
of people from around the world,
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			actually, all the way from I think
Fiji Islands to different
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			countries around the world that
have signed up for this course.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			And I think it's just generally
people who've probably had some
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			interest. They've been thinking
that, you know, they're
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			imaginative, they've had issues
with their dreams. They they
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			they're curious. I mean, are there
many people who actually sit
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			interpret dreams? I mean, you
know, absolutely.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			As you said, people are just
coming to our guests, David, any
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			of those dreams or you don't want
to share too much with us. But
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			have you ever had those dreams?
Either, you know, his car was
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			gonna be stolen? Or secondhand
bank?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			No more dreams, then. Yeah, no,
but that's dream that has impacted
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			a decision that you've made or has
had an enormous impact on you,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			though. But I'd like to mention
something else, which I witnessed
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			as it were, I heard some ex
prisoners from Guantanamo
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:10
			speaking. And they weren't saying
that their dreams gave them while
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			later and they were in solitary.
While they were suffering that
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			time enormous strength, which was
very interesting. They were
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			talking about this at a public
meeting. That's amazing. We're
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			going to a quick break now and
we're going to come back and talk
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			some more about
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			story of the day How do you keep
your belongings if you do about
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			them in advance or something's
going to happen
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			as I was coming to the studio, I
just had a Thief Thief catch him
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			he's on the bike and yes, this
this might go home to
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			the guy that rule pass on a bike
and poor guy, I think, another guy
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			whose phone he stole Oh, that
guy's trying to chase him but
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			we're actually covering that kind
of story. How you protect
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			yourself. And that's actually
interesting because the big
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			phenomenon nowadays are people
cycling by and grabbing and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			grabbing * and Grab. So how
do you protect yourself? Let us
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			know how do you protect your
personal cyber world? How do you
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			protect your bicycle your products
or
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			whatever, let us know we will be
reading your messages just in case
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			you very shortly
