Bilal Assad – Dreams according to Islam

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. Today I want to share with you the concept
of dreams in accordance with Islam. And it's all got to do with the soul. So I want to begin with
the verse of the Quran in surah to zoom out of verse 42, where Allah says, Allah bIllahi min ash
shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim along with the wife
		

			for surfing,
		

			while Letty in turn mode fee mana knee
		

			for your MC Coletti combo.
		

			You're saying or in,
		

			journeying.
		

			In Nephi, then he can
		

			call me tough girl go alone. It is Allah who withholds the soul of people when they die, and the one
which does not die, when it goes to sleep. Then he withholds the soul of the ones who have already
died, and returns back the soul of the one who is sleeping to its body until its appointed time has
arrived. In this, and many signs for people who reflect the scholars spoke about this verse, and a
great scholar by the name of Ibn hudgell, Alaska learning. He says, in fact, Halle Berry, which is
the explanation of sahih al Bukhari, he says this means as according to Ibn our best, that when a
person goes to sleep, the soul travels, and it meets with other souls in another realm. They are the
		

			souls of people who passed away. And the people who have passed away already they may meet your soul
with a message or a guide or a news or if you miss them. And then Allah withholds the soul of the
people who have passed away because they cannot come back to this world, and your soul returns to
your body until you're appointed time. Brothers and sisters, the Prophet peace be upon him told us
that there is 45 parts of prophethood and prophethood. In Arabic, noble means news. And after the
Prophet peace be upon him to death, only one is left out of that 45 parts, and that is a righteous
dream. So people continue to see righteous dreams. And would you believe it even non Muslims receive
		

			righteous dreams from Allah from time to time, Allah may show you a dream that has a guidance or a
warning, or good news, or something of that nature. We're going to talk about that in a little bit
of detail in sha Allah. The Prophet peace be upon him also said in the Hadith, which is in no
measure, and similar like it in Sahih, Muslim and Buhari, he says that towards the end of time, the
dream of a believer and a righteous person is almost always correct and truthful. And there is many
of it. He also said that there are three types of dreams. So learn the difference. The first types
of dreams that the Prophet peace be upon him called, are the dreams of what your subconscious mind
		

			speaks to you. You might have watched a movie or read a book, or something's happened in your life,
it talks about your fears, your anxieties, your wishes, and your hopes, even maybe somebody that you
have a crush on or a love or something that you wish for. These things are your subconscious mind
talking to you. They're not righteous dreams. And usually they mumble jumbled and keep going on and
on. And they're very long. And usually when you wake up, you don't remember much of it, or you
remember bits and pieces of it, but they don't really make too much sense. So this is called Hadith
on knifes, which means the conversation of the subconscious mind. The second type of dream, the
		

			Prophet, peace be upon him talked about the terrifying dreams, the dreams of horror, the dreams that
come from the shaytaan from Satan and the devils and he said that these are types of dreams to make
you feel sad to give you a depression or to make you fall into fear so that when you wake up, you
doubt yourself and you think what's wrong with me. He said, Don't worry about those dreams is the
shaytaan playing games with you. And we'll talk about how to get rid of these dreams inshallah very
soon. The third type of dream is the righteous dream. And they are the dreams that come from Allah
from God. And as I said before they come to the Muslims and the non Muslims. It's either a guide, or
		

			a warning, or good news as the Prophet peace be upon him said and he said, If you see a dream that
you love, and liked, and you fell at peace with and when you woke up, you enjoyed it, and you can
remember it, then tell somebody whom you love and someone with wisdom, also ask people of knowledge
such as an imam or a chef who knows, he said, but if you saw a dream that disturbs you, or is
terrifying or horrific in some way, and it displeased you, don't tell anyone about it, but rather go
and make will do and pray to Raka and rely on Allah subhanho wa taala. He also said say oh the
bIllahi min ash shaytaan regime, seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast
		

			Brothers and sisters when you see a dream that displeases us, such as a terrifying dream. Sometimes
you might see snakes, scorpions, spiders, dogs, cats, things that just don't add up, especially if
it's in the dark or faces that look horrific such as a horror film, and things that just make your
mind go all over the place. The proper peace be upon him said that if you wake up, then split
lightly three times in the direction of the left. So the left direction you might be facing the
left, or you might be facing the right in your dream in your sleep, or you may be facing in any
direction. He said, split three times to the left and say out to be let him in a shaytaan has been
		

			three times then turn to the other side. It is a sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that when
you sleep you begin sleeping on your right because it's called the spiritual side because your brain
stays a little bit aware when you sleep on your right. As for the left, you are allowed to sleep on
the left however, it is disliked to start your sleep on the left. But medically it is better for
your body so your body naturally tosses and turns. What you shouldn't sleep on is your stomach. The
Prophet peace be upon him saw a man sleeping on his stomach in the masjid. And he nudged him lightly
with his leg and said to him, don't sleep like that for the shaitan loves to sleep like that. And
		

			this is where you might see disturbing dreams on your back. For some people it works. And for some
people that actually get sleep paralysis or night terrors. Don't be afraid of them. Again, it is the
shaytaan trying to play tricks on you. And it won't harm you in any way. A man came to the Prophet
peace be upon him and he was a bit disturbed. He said to him, O Messenger of Allah, a messenger of
Allah, I saw that my head was rolling in front of me and I was trying to pick it up the Prophet
peace be upon him said to him. If the shaitan plays games with you don't tell people about it, and
it won't harm you. Another thing you can do brothers and sisters about horrific dreams or disturbing
		

			dreams, before you go to sleep, the sooner is to make will do if you can, secondly, to sleep on your
right in the beginning number three, recite a uttered kursi. Number four, put your palms into your
mouth like this and recite the three points colo Allahu Ahad called Outubro, Bill falak and Koolau
the verbenas then blow into your palms if you like and wipe over your head and body three times in
sha Allah God willing, you'll see better dreams and minimize any dreams that are disturbing. You can
play the Quran next to you such as subtle Bukhara, that also helps. As for the righteous dreams, the
scholars said that there are a few signs to know that they're righteous number one, usually, you
		

			remember every detail clearly. Number two, when you dream about them, you can feel as if they're
real, you can almost touch and smell what's going on. Number three, when you wake up, you remember
all the details because they were clear. Number four, they are usually connected to something in
real life. Number five, they make sense in some way. So there is a reality to them. Number six, they
do not go against the Sharia meaning if you sort of dream where someone is telling you to do
something haram or sinful, that's from the Shaitan a righteous dream doesn't come that way. And
finally, tell someone you love or a che or an imam who can help you interpret the dream. Although we
		

			don't have a particular measure to really know what's right and wrong. But the Prophet peace be upon
him did tell us a dream usually happens the way you interpret it. So always think well of Allah and
have be optimistic about it. As for seeing the Prophet peace be upon him in your dreams or the
angels I got this question asked. There's no harm. Yes, it is possible to see angels in your dreams
with a message. As for the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him the Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim. And
he said, Whoever sees me in their dream
		

			has truly seen me and will eventually see me for the shaitan cannot impersonate the way I look.
Again, the great scholar Ibn has Alaska learning explains this. And he says, this means that whoever
sees the Prophet in their dream, it has to be in his real true features. The Shaitan can make you
believe that it is the prophet, but he cannot look like the Prophet. So a person may come looking
like ancient Arabian clothing, and you probably might even hear words around you that make you feel
that you're back in time. But if it doesn't look anything like the prophets, Allah asanas features
then is the shaitan trying to trick you and the shaitan may give you guidances that are wrong. So be
		

			careful and ask again, someone knowledgeable or an Imam, or a chef, to tell you whether those
features were true. There was a man at the time of urban iBurst or the Allahu anhu, after the
Prophet peace be upon him died. And he said to him, I think I saw the Prophet in my dreams. And he
said to him, describe him to me, and he said to him, he looks similar to his grandson, Al Hassan and
he said yes, then that is the prophet. However another scholar by the name of it had been sitting
who was known to interpret dreams very well and
		

			Man came to him and said, I saw the Prophet in my dreams SallAllahu wasallam. He said, describe them
to me. And when he described him, he said, these are not his features. You did not see the Prophet
peace be upon him in your dreams. But if you do see him, this is a great sign. And even a non Muslim
can see signs from God, even possibly the Prophet peace be upon him. But the meaning of that would
be more of a guidance. Either the person takes it or doesn't take it. My brothers and sisters, if
you do see a dream, as we said, and it terrifies you don't tell anyone about it. And don't worry
about it. If you see a dream that is from Allah and righteous tell the chef or an imam. But don't
		

			base your decisions in life on dreams as a priority. For we never know exactly what they mean. May
Allah Subhana Allah bless you was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
