The importance of dream interpretations and shaping people's dreams and actions is emphasized in various cultural and political settings. Four core principles of spirituality, including words and symbols, are emphasized, as it is crucial for building a successful life. Prayer and praying for the future is also crucial. It is important to not give too much pride to dreams as they can create "has been seen dreams" and determine one's dream in the future.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:11
			The topic that's been assigned, chosen for me by my dear brother Shafiq does a lot
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:53
			is about dreams, and dream interpretation and the artistry of it and how we as Muslims value our
dreams. And I thought just to begin by speaking about something that I'm sure I have, and you have,
at some point or another, felt that your dream meant something. And irrespective of your level of
faith, whether you believe in God or not, whether you're a Muslim or not, whether you're a
practicing Muslim or not, at some point, each and every one of us we looked into, we look into our
dreams, we look into the restful sleep we had, and we say, there was something about that.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			And I feel it means something.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:12
			And I wish I knew who I could ask or you sit with yourself, and you ponder over it. And I want to
speak about the first kind of dream, which is a dream that you can make come true.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			So just say you dream that you were eating honey.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			And you wake up in the morning,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			and you actually just have a lot of hair.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:35
			Thank you so much for that. I appreciate it. So just say you wake up and you were dreaming last
night, you are going to have a cup of tea.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:02:16
			And it's within your means to actually walk over to the kitchen and make a cup of tea. The sooner
the prophets lie Selim is to make your dream come true. And I want that to be the first point to
make your dream come true to make the dream of others come true. That's the pseudonym. Where do we
get this from in an authentic hadith? There was one Sahabi His name is Jose Marathi, Allahu Allahu
Allah. He came to the prophet SAW Selim excited he goes, Yeah, rasulillah You won't believe what I
saw last night. The Prophet I sent him said, What What did you see last night? He said, I saw myself
making sujood on your forehead.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			And the prophets eyes lm laid back on the ground and said, Okay, go ahead, definitely.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:03:00
			And his ima made sujood on the forehead of the prophets on the LA Hollywood senator. Now, that's not
usually the first thought that comes when you hear that there's a class or a lecture about dream
interpretation. Usually think in the abstract and the figurative in the symbolism, which we'll come
to in short love, because there's no soul to it. There's principles that you were taught, in how you
view dreams for yourself, and especially for others. But here you find the prophets I seldom was a
dream maker. He was someone who brought someone's dream into a reality.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:18
			I had a dream subpanel after I got married, the first year after I got married, it's a long time
ago. And I dreamt that I was making a lot and I could see my dream right now. Like as I'm talking to
you, I can see it. I was making pull off.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:46
			And I had my right shoulder was exposed and holding onto my forearm. I looked over the cabinets
here. I looked over, and there was my brother in law. And behind him holding on to him was my other
brother in law. And I was leading them into life they've never been to had they've never been
terminal and I was leading them until off. And when I woke up I said to my wife, I'm gonna take me
heart and knew that the terminal
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:54
			or to hij she said, What do you say that? I said I saw it. She goes, Oh, you saw it.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:03
			And so Pamela about eight years later, I took them to Hajj they took me to Hajj.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:11
			And that same dream of them holding on for dear life because it was the Hajj where
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:23
			Subhan Allah the crane collapsed? I don't know if you Yeah, a few years ago, just as we were, you
know, the crane collapse and we were holding on we were running and and
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:51
			it's not that my dream came true is that I made my dream come true. I want you to understand what
that means. That means that you and I have the first say in making your dream a reality. And
therefore when you hear Hadith of the Prophet is lm where he says that your dreams are attached to
the foot of a sparrow.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			And when you interpret them or it's interpreted for you, it lands it lands as you interpreted
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:35
			Be careful who interprets your dream. So you don't go to somebody who's got wickedness in their
heart. And you say to them, you know, I saw this and this and this, they say, Oh my gosh, I feel so
bad for you know what that means. And they give you this thing that comes to them. Because in their
heart, they don't have love for you, they don't have care for you empathy for you, they give you
something that comes to their mind that causes you to react or them or others to react, to make that
dream a reality in that negative way.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:50
			And therefore, the first principle that I wish to share with you is that it is the Sunnah of the
prophets, I seldom to make your dream come true, to make others dreams come true.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			Some of the great Sahaba of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:40
			used to see magnificent dreams. And I want to keep our discussion kind of a little bit more
academic, than just spiritual, and so on. And I've actually brought some notes with me, if you want
something a little bit further, there's a couple of articles that I've written there called the art
of dream interpretation, part one and two, Part Three will probably come out next week, because the
brother invited me so made me write part three, and then there'll be part four. So just like
alafair, you've inspired me. So we'll continue this series in sha Allah, and it's on Muslim
matters.org. So you can follow through with that in sha Allah. But I thought I'd just share some
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:01
			notes. And I thought we'd keep it at something that was at a level that you can go and see the
research behind it and make it of importance to you to carry on this great tradition of the prophets
I send them. Now let me begin by saying the very first books of Hadith that were written, were
collections of dream interpretation.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:46
			The very first books of Hadith way back in the time of the tab, here in tab at Varian, and those who
came after them, they were initially structured around dreams that people had at the time of the
prophets isolation, and what he said about them and what Abu Bakr said about them and what is mapped
into Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu said about them. And what Mohammed dibny serene who was her students
said about it. It was collections of those narrations. They were one of the first things that people
said we need to preserve these in writing. Those were some of the very first Hadith of the prophets.
I sell them that were correlated in indexes and books.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:08:05
			There used to be a split. And Amanda Shafi he used to actually speak really harshly about the
industry of dream interpreters. Like in today's age in the UK, you guys have the industry of Rokia.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:42
			Everyone's are asking Mashallah. Everyone's getting paid. Mashallah, right? It's an industry, Mr.
Mousavi, he may he said no. This industry about dream interpretation and you go to this person
because he knows more than others. It's false. And his words were actually quite cutting. I demand
Michelle, very Abu No, I am and I'll quote this for you. He said, I left behind in Iraq because it
used to be in Baghdad and Iraq. And then he transitioned to Egypt, where he was buried out of metal
lyerly. I left behind in in Iraq. zenab. People who don't truly believe in a lot heretics
		
00:08:43 --> 00:09:28
			who can caulk things, calling it dream interpretation to fool the masses with illicit knowledge and
claim from them wealth. Right? It was a problem even way back then with a man like me, mammoth
Shafi, could you imagine you have any mammoth chef sitting here and some other guy telling you come
Let me tell you what your dream means and pay me a little bit of Delhomme. And people will go to
that person, because he will make up these fantastical statements that would uplift them would show
them something that they wanted to believe in, and they were charlatans. But of course, we know that
dreams and their interpretation is very much a part of our theological belief. Allah subhanho wa
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:59
			Taala says that one of the greatest blessings giving to use of Allah Salaam waka Delica, mechana
usofa fill out. And as such we gave Providence and success and dominion to use of in the earth after
all the trouble that he faced and one of the greatest things while m Nahum into wheeland ahaadeeth
the greatest of things as a blessing that we gave unto him is that we taught him I lemna who it is
from us that this learning
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:16
			arrived to him. The interpretation and the understanding of dreams and use of Allah is Salaam, only
and simply inherited that wisdom from his father from his grandfather and from his great
grandfather, Ibrahim Ali.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:54
			Ibrahim alayhis. Salam was a person who used to receive much of his weapon matches of His revelation
in the form of dreams. When he comes to his son and he says my son in the aura filmen, me and my
son, I see in my dream that I must slaughter you. I must kill you from the Ramada Torah, tell me
what you think of my dream. And that's almost as if it's the first attempt for someone to interpret
your dream. What should I do? What do you think that dream means? Is it actionable or not?
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			Call a
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:08
			man. He said my father do as you are commended, because the dreams of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam are imaginary are separate to the rest of humanity. They are a reality they are from,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			from the aspects of reality as if in their wakeful state.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:17
			Let's
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			get a bit technical. All right. And I hope you follow through in sha Allah.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:12:01
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said lamea permanent Nobunaga after me nothing from
Prophethood will remain in lol MOBA, shirat, except the things that give you good news of what is to
come, something that will prophesize for you Good things that will happen in your life. And they
said, O Messenger of Allah, what are these good things that what does that mean? And he says a lot
he was seldom, it is that a righteous man, a righteous person, a righteous woman sees a good dream,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			for a good purpose sallallahu wasallam.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			He then said
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:23
			that there is 46 parts of prophethood and only one of them will remain which is dream
interpretation. Now this Hadeeth was a little bit problematic,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:13:18
			because the same Hadith is narrated by others with different variants. In one other instance, the
prophet said, one thing that remains from Prophethood his dreams and their interpretation, and it's
out of 25 other prophetic characteristics. In another Hadith, he says 45 in another Hadith, he says
70 and an Imam Abdullah burrow, he reconciles this, it's not that the narrator's have quoted the
same Hadith with different numbers. What it means is that the higher your piety and ascension and
relationship with a law, the more likely your dreams are true and carry good messages. And the best
of us who can never be profits, the greatest ratio you will get is one to 25.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:36
			Some are one to 70. And the word 70 is considered Nikita. It's considered an open ended number,
meaning it's a large number. You might dream night after night after night after night, week after
week and not see a righteous dream, one out of 70 it's a one in 70 shot.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:13
			But the best of them is one out of 25. And the most likely the average Muslim, the one who's
connected to Allah is one out of 45, one out of 46 and that's how the Sahaba and the tambourine kind
of understood it. Now there was always this attempt of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to
emphasize to people that how they live by day affects how they sleep and what they see by night. And
therefore you and I are always taught by our imams de la fere that before you sleep there are
certain student actions to do.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:55
			You should sleep upon will do. You should sleep after reading your evening, Vic, you should include
in that evening, Vic ayatul kursi the last few verses of Surah Al Baqarah. You should read the last
three, three times each. You should cup your hands and read sorbitol Fatiha seven times and breathe
on them and wipe all parts of your body that are exposed and aren't covered by your clothing or your
bedspread. All of these are Sunnah of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and all of
them have one aim.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			That is that it gives you a restful sleep and patience.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			protect you from the meddling of the show fun.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:58
			What does that mean? Well, it comes in the authentic hadith narrated by the mom and Bahati with a
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that there are three types of dreams that a person
experiences. One is heavy food next is that your soul talks to you had deep meaning and narration or
a story that your neffs shares with you. Second, Halima shavon. It is that the Shea Thawne shows you
an image and a dream. And third, is a Rukia a vision. And therefore when we talk about dreams, we're
actually really talking about visions as they relate to those who are practicing and faithful to
Allah who see that vision one out of every 25 one out of every 45 one out of every 70
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:10
			it's something that you see that inspires you because it's sent to you by Allah. Let's speak about
the first one. Howdy through neffs. Now,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			the ramblings of the soul of the law firm, Lam
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			Yusuf Ali is
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:34
			one of the greatest ways that a lot of freedom from his false imprisonment was that he caused a
king, a pharaoh who was a king, a righteous King, not a believer, an atheist, one who didn't believe
in God, to see a dream.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:40
			And that dream was something that was inspiring and strange.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:17:23
			And a law retells the dream so you and I can wonder about it. And the law says that Yusuf was the
one who interpreted it. And the dream was that the king saw seven cows. Sub Agatha rotten, a jalin
yaku Luna Samara nyjah, seven well fed healthy cows, being pursued, consumed, eaten by seven sickly
cows, was separately said Nabila and seven years of corn that were healthy, being overcome and
consumed by seven that were sickly
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			and unattainable.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:18:09
			He says to his ministers f2 neofeudal ei, give me a fatwah in what I've seen in contumely. ruya
Tiburon if you know what dreams mean. And in these verses is so much benefit, we don't have time for
all of its statements. But here, the king says I need a fatwa of toony meaning it's something that
you're going to give but I don't have to follow the classical definition of federa is that someone
gives you an opinion, but you're not bound to follow it, which is the same as a Mufti. You can come
to the Mufti and Manchester, one of your Maltese, and you ask him, Hey, what should I do in this
situation? He goes, Well, I think you should do this.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			And you're not bound to follow what he said, because it's a fatwah.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:27
			What should I do? What's your federal I'm the dream plan to add huafu alarm, they said it's a mixed
up rambling of your soul, meaning we don't know. But we don't want to tell you we don't know.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:19:03
			We know some of its meaning, but not others. We can't interpret we did where we want to be careful
because we don't want to say something to you. That isn't true. And SubhanAllah. This is an evidence
that our ultimate show that even people who lacked faith understood that if you direct a person
about a dream that they saw, without being sure, and it just something you're saying that it can
cause greater damage than good. And therefore it is better to be quiet than to give any opinion at
all.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:57
			Number three, you learn that when somebody doesn't know it doesn't mean that everybody doesn't know.
And that someone who seen as a lofty position. You know, the priest in his society didn't know the
king wasn't too ashamed to say if anyone else knows bring them forward, even if they're a prisoner
Subhanallah sometimes our dreams mean so much to us, that it's worth the effort to find their
meaning even in unlikely places with unlikely people. And use of Allah Salaam, of course provides
the answer, but makes it conditional to other things. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us an
insight into the inner meanings of our dreams and to help us use them in bringing us closer to a
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			loss of Hana to honor what we learn from
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:15
			This is that a person who is immoral, in pious isn't connected to a law to God in a very meaningful
way, can and will see dreams that are meaningful to them, that can have a prophetic reality.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			And it's not just believers and righteous people who see good dreams.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:41
			And that's something that standard as a text throughout the Koran, because after you serve, there's
going to come another king, but it's not a king. He's going to be a pharaoh. And he's going to see a
dream of a young child who's going to destroy his kingdom. And that was Farah who was seeing the
dream of moon says arrival alayhis salaam.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:21:04
			Chateau de Allahu Allah. wa. She spoke about the first signs of the prophets revelation coming to
him. She asked the prophets I send them you know, before gibreel came to you, did you feel strange?
Now? It's such a wifey question, isn't it?
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:34
			Like, she wants to know everything. So I know you're a messenger of Allah now, but before you
weren't a messenger of Allah, so kind of like what we like, what did you used to do? What did you
used to like what happened? He said, you know what I shot before jabril came six months before it.
Every time I went to sleep, I would see a dream. And the next day it would break in its reality like
the break of dawn sallallahu
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:57
			every night, and it was as if Allah was saying to him, listen, there's going to be so many things
that are going to come to you so many things you're going to see so much experiences you're going to
have, and I want your heart to be steadfast that there's something special about you in an authentic
hadith narrated by Nehemiah and it's deemed authentic by the amount of Hadith. The prophet SAW Selim
his mother,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:55
			before giving birth to him, saw light emanating from her womb from her stomach that radiated light
all the way to Damascus. It's as if she could see Damascus that's how much light filled the world.
She saw that in a dream. Moses his mother, alayhis salam saw a dream before Moses was born, as she
was carrying him that Pharaoh is going to give an instruction to keep kill every male child born in
that year, and that she should begin to design an air tight basket. And she followed the
instructions that they saw it in the dream and I lost some kind of attalla describes this moment.
What a hyena 11 Mimosa, we gave ya revelation to the mother of Moses. And out of there he feed him,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			clothe him, keep him happy for either 50 or a
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:30
			half he will attack Danny, when the time comes and you feel they're going to come you've seen it in
your dream. I've shown you exactly what's going to happen when that day comes for lt helium. Don't
be scared put them in the basket and throw them in the water you already know what's gonna happen.
He's gonna survive. In not all do, who like you know, he's gonna come back to you, which I do.
believe we've shown you in your dream that That boy is going to be a messenger of Allah who will
save His people. Allahu Akbar.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:38
			Dreams are found in almost every story of every prophet in the Quran.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:24:06
			Maria alayhis Salam hiner Miriam's Mother alayhis salam, Zakaria, alayhis salam, all of them would
see dreams of things that were coming as warnings. And therefore we know that the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam has said to us that a loss of Hannah who went to Allah gives us these premonitions
as a MOBA shirat good tidings, even when they warn us of hardship.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:50
			Mu says mother seeing she has to cast her son away in denial. It's a Bushra, don't worry,
eventually, years later, even after your life, he's going to be a messenger of Allah, you won't see
it, but you've seen it now. Allahu Akbar. Now the final dream because I want to get to this other
author of lamb, this ramblings of the soul. The final dream that I want to share with you is the
dream of the prophets. I seldom of him making tawaf around the Kaaba. The prophet SAW Selim after
the Battle of conduct, they were, you know, under siege for more than a month. And the enemy finally
went back to Mecca and the Confederates went to their different tribes, and the trench that was dug,
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:59
			they were trying to refill it. And the Prophet went to sleep and saw a dream that he was making pull
off. And he said to Abu Bakr and Omar call out to the people
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:41
			When financiar marpha in NACA, jehoram, South LA Rama, you have the loudest voice amongst my
companions, call out to the people to get ready, we're going to Emre Salalah when he was in the
Prophet interpreted it. Now, we're going to do tell off now, everybody get ready Now, everybody gets
your head view. Now, let's go we're going to make our own right now and we're going to make to walk
around the Kaaba. And when they got there, they were barred, and they were stopped. And Omar
mentioned this in the chapter of conquest of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that the
prophets I send him saw a dream of him while holofcener, Osaka, Osaka serene that some shaved and
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			some cut their hair.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:53
			And then they got there. And the Prophet signed a peace treaty that said he had to return to Medina
without tawaf without entering Mecca.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:26:02
			Was it that his dream was untrue? No, his dream was true sallallahu it was setting them, but he
interpreted it
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:56
			in its reality, but its timeline had not yet arrived. And therefore I want you to see the dream of
use of Allah Salaam where he sees 11 stars and the sun and the moon prostrating to him that that
dream took more than 14 years to come to reality. While the dream of the king this year, immediately
next year had its negative consequence. And that becomes a really important discussion that we will
have in sha Allah. The first kind of dream that a person sees is your soul being exhausted, your
soul being apprehensive, your souls troubled? This financial worries, I'm excited about my upcoming
marriage. I'm whatever it is. It could be excitement, happiness, fear, sorrow, difficulty,
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:38
			financial, psychological, whatever it is something in your day to day life is kind of preoccupying
you. And one of the ways for you to solve and work through that problem is in your sleep. And the
law says what Jana lady basa, I've made night at time, of Lee bass, of comforting protection, where
a law protects us from our own troubles and our own difficulties in our sleep. And so panela as a
person is asleep at night, you begin to solve mathematical problems. You begin to count how many
tiles you need to purchase for the renovation.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:50
			Well, I counted tiles that I woke up in the morning said, I need to buy 620 she goes What? As soon
as I woke up, I said, Who am I? I need to buy 620 she was
		
00:27:51 --> 00:28:36
			one What do you tell her? I said all tiles, she goes, you're dreaming about tiles. I was like, Yeah,
620 that's how much it is. I couldn't work it out while I was awake, I worked it out was sleep.
Psychologists will tell you and especially for young people, we're still in academia and university,
that the best kind of study is sleep study, sleep study. It's actually a scientific term study,
sleep study, that you study and sleep, and then study and sleep, and then study that that is much
better for you than to study and then sleep and not study again, cramming for an exam doesn't work.
It's better for you to study, sleep, wake up and study again. And that will be much better breaking
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:41
			it up in days, because your soul solves those problems.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			But part of our soul is not just the happy moments.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:29:23
			Some of it is our anxiety and difficulty. And some of the signs that your soul is in combat is that
you see dreams that are not entirely pleasing, not just counting tiles, but you're having financial
trouble. And you just don't know where you're going to make ends meet. And you go to sleep that
night, you see yourself free falling, and you wake up and you're kind of scared. I had a dream that
I was falling and falling and falling. And it's because the power that you have in your life isn't
really yours.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:31
			You have a dream and there's dogs chasing you. And your first thought is I owe the real
administrators regime. It has nothing really to do with the shape on
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:59
			it's that you're being pursued for something that you feel unjust people are accusing me or saying
something about me or someone said something about me that I know that isn't true. And I don't know
how to defend myself. And they're being vicious, and you'll use those words in your wakeful day. And
when you go to sleep, it manifests itself a block. Your soul releases that tension that has made you
in your sleep cleanse.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			your jaw
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			and grind your teeth
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:11
			and wake up after 789 10 hours of restful sleep tired,
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:23
			where your body feels like it just run a marathon but you know you've been in bed the whole time
where you are in bed, and it's a cool night, but you wake up in sweat.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:52
			And you wonder why. And those dreams are not the shape on. It's not the shape on that is put your
body in that stress, it is your day to day life and it is you experiencing those traumas, those
elations those difficulties, those happy moments and sorrowful moments that are expressed in that
sleep. And there were times where the profits on the lahardee would send them would say to a person
that that isn't out yet. Salalah
		
00:30:53 --> 00:31:38
			The second kind of sleep is the one we've all experienced at some point or another, which is the
shape on and therefore we spoke about those soon the things that we do to make sure that we're
protected from the touch of the shape on when we sleep. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
he said that the one for example, who recites ayatul kursi io to kursi kubla. And Iam one lolly half
of that are Lawson's, for them a guardian angel standing at their head, your heart also hoomin
Cooley either protecting that person from any harm. So how does the shaitan harm you? LEAH has una
Lavina Amman, Allah says in the Quran, to put a depressive state in you to make you feel sorrowful.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:32:00
			And the dreams that come from the Shaitan are the ones where you wake up, and you don't feel good.
It's not you don't feel good. And know that there's something else on your mind, from your day to
day life. But you don't feel good and you feel scared or you feel sorrowful or you saw something
that made you unhappy.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:51
			The second kind of dream of the shavon is where he plays with you. And this happened with one of the
Sahaba he came to the prophets I send them and said I'm so scared a messenger of Allah. Last night
while I was while I was asleep, I saw that my head popped off my shoulders, and it was rolling and I
was running after it. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said to him, those type of dreams
are from the shavon. Don't narrate them to others. He's playing with you. Rather The moment you wake
up. Is that a villa Humana? shaytani? r rajim. Say Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim. What Phil?
Allah. Allah Sheena, and breathe out three quick births on your left people. And I want to show you
		
00:32:51 --> 00:33:06
			the sooner way this is actually through. It's not through chain of narration. My teacher showed me
his teacher showed him all the way back to the prophets. I send them doing it. How do you spit on
your shoulder? You see people doing it completely wrong, right? They're like,
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:21
			all right, that's not it. It's not even a movement of your head. You don't even turn your head. It's
simply the direction to the left. And it's just a small turn. And it's three quick exhale.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:40
			And there's no liquid that comes out. Your wife should not feel any bombardment. And you're like,
She's like, What? What happened? Why am I drenched? Right? The person praying next you insula when
you feel you've lost concentration should not need to wipe their beard.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:58
			That shouldn't happen. It's a simple movement. My chef chef now I'm a sophomore at Notre Dame when I
asked him, he said Hakka Alemany Chafee, this is what my chef told me, his chef said, Hello Raka
hollyland he just moved it as such.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:29
			And you remain facing the Qibla because one of the conditions of solder is to remain facing the
Qibla. Except for need, right. So that was taught by the prophets, I send them. He also taught us
and we'll just complete how to change the condition of a bad dream. He said, as soon as you wake up,
turn slightly to the left, breathe out three times and change your position. So if you were sleeping
on your right sleep on your left, even though it's not the sooner it is what is best at that moment.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:35:00
			If you were sleeping sitting up, you fell asleep like this. Lay down. If you were laying down and
you you want to change the other side of the bed change to the other side of the bed, right? And the
rationale for that is the shape arm settles and the profits I sell them says in a Friday. When the
shaitan arrives, he envelops he settles on you. So change your position and that's why we move
that's why the prophets I send them said someone gets angry the Hadith of the man Muslim and he's
standing
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:08
			not sit because the shaitan is settled in that position with you sit down, lay down, go for a walk,
change that environment
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:55
			as is the statement Sol Allahu Allah usnm so those are all ways of correcting that say Allah will
let him initiate on regime recite a written courtesy and in one Hadith the prophets I seldom said
the greatest protection is if you can wake up and make will do and therefore if you've had a terror
and a nightmare and something has bothered you and upset you wake up make will do before you go back
to sleep. And if you still feel fearful these are the three escalation so at first say oh the
dilemma shaitana Jean, spit on your left and turn your position. If you can't get to sleep You're so
scared get up and make will do. You still can't get up make will do and pray to or aka asking a lot
		
00:35:55 --> 00:36:35
			for his protection subconto to honor, those are the three levels of escalation of cleansing yourself
from that environment of the shape on the third and final dream is called aronia vision. Raw means
with clear sight. aura means I see you with my eyes roll yeah comes from that same word. It's as if
what I see with my heart with my soul in my sleep is like with my own eyes that are in my head in my
wakeful state. And that's why the prophets I said Lim said men raw Annie filmin I'm the one who sees
me weaning with their eyes in their sleep
		
00:36:37 --> 00:37:17
			and has sought a truth. For English a foreigner later method will be for the shaitan does not have
the power to take on my form. Salalah howdy Watson. So when you see the profits on the lotto, it was
seldom in a dream, it's actually praiseworthy, it is the student had to mention it to others. It's
not something you should say, Oh, I am going to protect this I don't want people to know. And
hamdulillah I have seen the prophets of Allah who it was send them in a dream. When you see the
prophets on the law, how do you send them in a dream, you know, it's the profit of a loss of
allottee was him. But your must test what you've seen to what you know of his ceiling. So if you see
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:40
			in your dream, an old man with a large white beard, who's dressed in white clothing, who smells
amazing. And in it, you wake up and you say I think I saw the prophets. I send them you haven't.
Because the prophets I send them did not have a large white beard. He had a large black beard that
had less than 23 white hairs in it. And in some rewire 21 hairs.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:38:04
			The prophets I send them was in an old broken down man. He was a person who was 63 years old, but in
full fit health. And when you see him, you will know that so you say but all shift he just said the
shaitan doesn't take his form, meaning allomantic Mahajan, all the Imams say the shaitan doesn't
take his real form.
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:25
			But the shaitan can take a form to say to you other than what is actually his real form, but he
can't take what is his real form sallallahu wasallam and therefore, Abdullah hibiya bass, or the
Allahu wa who says so happy the prophets lie Selim and nephew of the prophets I seldom heard.
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:38
			And then say I saw the prophet and one of the tambourine who never met the prophet in real life. I
saw the prophets I saw them last night. He said to him, sit with me. What did you see him look like?
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:51
			And he said, he was this height, and he looked around, he was dressed like this, and his hand was
like this. And his forehead was like that. He said, Tell me again about his nose. Tell me again
about his eyes. Tell me again about his
		
00:38:52 --> 00:39:05
			coffee. He made him speak about even my new inches of him. Salalah while he was a limp, and then he
finally said, Tim 480 you have seen him Salalah
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:11
			it wasn't just something where? Oh, yeah, I saw him.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:17
			One of the clearest signs of dreams being true.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:22
			Is that they engender in you when it is
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:51
			an absolute madness. There isn't. When I woke up seeing my cousin my brothers and my grandpa, I had
no doubt we're going to do toe off together. That's it. And I'm going to be the first one to take
them there. I interpreted my dream because I was the one standing in front of them. I'm the one in
front of them. So I'm they're not gonna go there before they go with me. That's the idea. That's my
dream. That's how I interpreted and we're going to see how we interpret dreams.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:59
			Quickly. So the dreams that are real Yeah. They have particular
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			Kind of subject matter and particular traits. The first trait is that they're short.
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:56
			They're very concise, and they're very clear. And they're like the rising sun. And it happens very
quickly. Second, is that a righteous dream, a vision does not have a particular time in the day or
night where it's more likely to happen. And I know you will have heard by some people saying, oh, a
good dream usually comes right before pleasure. And that's not a reality. That is in the meaning of
the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and most of the Imams. In fact, I believe it
could be even a consensus say that a righteous dream can happen at any time of the day, when a
person has had a meaningful deep sleep. Right? Third, a good dream. It's message is not interactable
		
00:40:56 --> 00:41:27
			in the sense that you have to do something about it. It's not commending you to do something. So
although I saw myself in a dream, doing tail off, my first instinct wasn't How much money do we have
in the bank account, we need to go now. That's not the main meaning of the dream. It's meant that
you're supposed to try to make it happen. And Allah will bless you with making it happen. But it's
not something that's immediate and unacceptable that I have to get up right now. Leave everything go
do and make this dream come a reality.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:42:09
			The third and final thing that is significant about a true vision is that it can be seen by you for
yourself, or it can be seen by someone else for you. And there will be people who saw dreams for
themselves and people who saw dreams for other than themselves, and will study some of these famous
incidents where the profits ice element saw a dream for Irma, he saw a dream for Babylon. The
Prophet heard Belarusian gentlemen, his footsteps, and he woke up the next day it goes below you're
going to be in gentlemen. That's how we know Bilal is in gentlemen. I heard your footsteps in jedna
you are even ahead of me. And I heard your distinct gait and shuffle ahead of me in general.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:49
			He saw Mr. Raja Allahu anhu, that when the prophets I seldom was given milk to drink, he said
Sheriff Dimon who, until I feel myself completely I drank and drank and drank. And then I drank more
until the milk began to pour out of my fingers. And in wondering why milk began to come even from
under my fingernails. I drank so much. I didn't want to stop drinking that milk. But I saw Mr. radi
Allahu anhu. So I stopped drinking and gave him some for Shelley Berman, who had Tasha beer, and he
drank until he was full. It didn't come out of his fingers. And they asked the prophets I tell him
what, what do you interpret it as?
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			What do you guys think the milking means?
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:00
			What do you think? What is milk? In this particular study?
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			Nothing.
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:09
			nourishment.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			What else?
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			Think about milk?
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:20
			No?
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:23
			No?
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:31
			Is it faith? No. It's Aiden knowledge,
		
00:43:33 --> 00:44:06
			knowledge. And that's why milk is how to interpret Milk. Milk is something that you don't make for
yourself, you have to get it out of something. So you've got to work for it. You got to sit under a
sheep or a cow or a you got work to get it out. And once you get it out, you got to preserve it or
drink it, and you've got to drink it really soon, or it's gonna go off. And there's people who don't
get knowledge or apply knowledge wrong and if you apply knowledge wrong, it's like you're having bad
spoiled milk.
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:44
			Milk is also something that is considered sloppy pure, it's a pure substance. It comes from
something you would think should have blood in it and other things in it, but a lot tells you mean
being a photo thing where that mean, Lebanon Harless on, milk comes out Harless pure unadulterated
and knowledge when it's from a law it's pure and clean and unadulterated. And when the Prophet gives
milk to the Allahu anhu, it means that Omar is receiving that knowledge in its clear pure state, not
from a law but through Mohammed sallallahu wasallam for whoever in its knowledge.
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:50
			You want to learn about how we interpret dreams. Alright.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:59
			So we spoken about the background. Now the text that we're going to study is one of the earliest
texts on dream interpretation.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:45
			It's vitally mammoth. Nicole Taber. Rahmatullah Holly one of the early early in the first, you know,
generations of the people of Islam. Humanity, ma'am. Abizaid, they have Kalyani, they had the very
earliest, that still remain intact books of Hadith that interpret dreams. All right. And they're on
a map. When they begin to analyze dreams and how the Prophet interpreted them sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, they began to see that there were certain principles, and I'm going to talk to you about
nine principles, we're going to study a few of them, but not all of them. All right. Some of them
are a little bit too advanced, you know, interpretation through poetry and other things. So what are
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:51
			the nine principles? The first 10 wheel, the first way of interpreting dreams,
		
00:45:52 --> 00:46:41
			is through an S map through the entomology or the names that appear in a dream. someone's name, it
means something. It's not just, you know, you see yakka in the dream, it's not about me, what is my
name have to do with the dream? yahia means one who has long life, right? So the dream might be
considered in accordance to the meaning of my name, right? Number two, interpretation building
manner, in accordance to the meaning of what occurs in the dream, something meaningful is exchanged
and said, and I'll give examples of this. Number three, interpreting using verses from the Quran or
Hadith, verses from the Koran or whole Sutras, or whole Jews, or even just single words or even
		
00:46:41 --> 00:47:04
			letters from the Quran. Number four, interpreting using the prophetic tradition of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, something The Prophet said, Habib that mentioned something,
and we'll make this clear shortly. inshallah. Number five is using the interpretation of Proverbs,
and poetry. You know, there's certain things that in the culture here make sense to you.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:19
			And interpreting something according to a particular culture is important. It's not the one symbol
means the same thing everywhere. If you were to see a snake in your dream, is it a good thing or a
bad thing?
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:35
			See, your culture tells you it's a bad thing. If you're Indonesia, seeing as think is a good thing.
Seeing a snake in a dream to Indonesian imams is that that person is going to get married. There's a
snake hiding out.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			Trying to strike prey
		
00:47:39 --> 00:48:06
			is hunting. There's someone who's looking at you, sister, and he wants to devour you. Right? That's
how the Indonesian that's how the Malaysian sea snakes in Arabic culture, it's different. And
therefore the M fan, the Proverbs of the, of the person who's seeing it, and the person interpreting
it becomes very important. Number six.
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:18
			At that we little bit good do and makuu interpretation according to inversion and opposition. So you
see someone dying and means that there's a birth coming to the family.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:26
			And you know, you get a lot of people they'll say chef, as an ally saw my grandmother dying. I say
Mashallah. Brooke
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:43
			szalai, Effie, how long have you been married? He goes, Oh, yeah, we got married. I sent my shot.
latia. You know, Salah, it was What do you mean? I said, I broke. You married a cousin? Yes. How did
you know? She's from this your grandmother on that side? He goes, yes.
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:53
			There's someone coming along the way. Right. So for some people, it's an inversion, it's the
opposite of what you see in the dream.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:49:31
			Number seven, it's an interpretation zyada that you see an increase, which means it's a decrease, or
you see number eight and decrease which means it's an increase. So you see Subhanallah your health
going away. And Allah subhanaw taala blesses you in, in in wealth. You see something being deprived,
but it's actually a sign that something's going to increase in a different way. And finally, number
nine, at that little bit, what timelines and time considerations.
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:44
			I want you to think back of that example, I gave you a prophet use of interpreting the dream of the
king. All nine principles are found in that area.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:51
			And your mission in sha Allah, if you seek to accept it,
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:59
			is to try to find all nine in those selection of verses in verses number 42 to
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:12
			50 in Surah, Yusuf, after we're done, and you've kind of heard everything that I have to say, go
back and read those verses in English and say, Oh my goodness, there's the name.
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:15
			He's a king he's identified.
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:18
			And there's the symbol.
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:41
			What is the corn mean? What is the wheat mean? What is the cow mean? Why does the cow refer to years
of famine? Why does the corn or the ear of wheat refer to that? Alright, so let's begin in Sharla.
Let's do the first section. What did we say the first principle of interpretation is?
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:49
			names. All right, let's look into the Hadith of the Prophet Isaiah limp. How has he interpreted
someone's name to mean something?
		
00:50:50 --> 00:51:09
			In the authentic hadith narrated by the Imam Muslim, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
this hadith is reported by nsmb Malik. So msfd Malik is with the prophet SAW Selim, and he sees this
happen. The prophet SAW Selim said, I saw in my sleep at night
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:32
			that I saw a pert what normally a person sleep meaning I saw a dream in my sleep. I wrote yet in my
sleep, that we were in the house of Aruba isn't enough Ebner often we were in the house of Cuba, if
not author, or the Allahu Allahu wa. And there was brought to us in that house.
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:37
			days from the farm of ebony top
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:41
			the farm of a man named Ebony top
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:57
			for our wealth to who so I interpret my dream look at the words of the prophets I send them to mean
that goodness and sublime lis has finally come to us in Medina.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:41
			And I take it from the name Ebner top pop means Tyler bright. Have you ever heard the word type
goodness? So he interpreted that the data that came data is something sweet. It's something that
nourishes you. It's something that is indicative of Medina what was Medina known for dates? So the
Prophet said dates from a farm in Medina, and the farmers name is even a top top Why is it top? Why
didn't it come from Abu tal has firm wide may come from Earth man's farm? Why did it come from his
farm? Because Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, even atop that there is playbar has arrived. And that's
one of the names of what what is one of the names of the Medina Paiva that's where it comes from.
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:49
			Right? So the law how it was. So you see that the Prophet use somebody's name to refer to something,
		
00:52:50 --> 00:53:11
			even in ignorance of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam whenever it would seem, he would say
autofac Allah, may Allah elevate you or unfair means elevation, right? And he would say May Allah
elevate you, he would use names to make your app for people and to honor people sallallahu it was
sent him the question you're gonna ask is, well, why didn't the Prophet use the name of Baba?
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:30
			As the interpreter? What made him seem ignorant? Well, now we got to take it to level two. Right? So
we said first, you can interpret by the names of the people that you see in your dream. Number two,
we said what's the second principal attempt? We'll bill Manor meanings, right?
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			There's a Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:53:35 --> 00:54:08
			And this is narrated by Abdullah habanero, moderate the Allahu anhu. It's in Sahil Bahari. The
prophets I seldom said, and I just shared this hadith with you that are not that he said, I saw in
my dream that I was given a bowl of milk. And I began to drink from this milk until I noticed its
wetness. And it filled me so much that it began to come out of my limbs. My every part of my body,
even my nails began that milk would come from it. And I saw that there were people sitting around
and the one that I chose to give it to was ermotti
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:53
			radi Allahu Allahu wa. And they said, O Messenger of Allah, what does it mean? He said, an alien
that I've given in I've handed over in that the milk symbolizes in, why does milk symbolize him? All
right, we said milk is pure. And when it's clear, it's something beneficial. It's something you
enjoy drinking. When it's off. It's unusable. You can't hand it to others. It's something that
stinks up. It's something that can lead astray. And therefore it smell changes its color changes and
no one wants it. So the prophets I seldom continuing to drink milk, it meant that the milk was
healthy and good for him. And it was good for others. Milk is also seen as nourishment. And there is
		
00:54:53 --> 00:55:00
			nothing that nourishes the soul more important than a knowledge of a law knowledge of our
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:09
			Diem. And this is what the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the one whom Allah wishes
good for him, he gives them a firmness in their knowledge of the deen.
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:53
			nil milk is also something that you have to derive. It's not something that's just within you, you
have to get it from somewhere else. Same with knowledge. And it has to be from something that's
domesticated and something that's willing to share it with you. No one goes out and tries to wrestle
a wild animal to get milk. It's an animal, it's something that is within your home and your
household that you know and have access to. And therefore aim is derived as being the interpretation
by the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but there's also an excess. In the Hadith, the
prophets, I seldom said that when I was drinking milk and it was coming, z two, I added so much of
		
00:55:53 --> 00:56:03
			it. And one of the days that a law orders the prophets, I send them in the Quran in Surah Taha waka,
Robbie z.
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:47
			And therefore, in Nzr, there are always together. So whenever you see abundance and things that are
overflowing, it signifies something related to knowledge, and therefore the meaning of milk is more
important than the substance in and of itself. According to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and you see this in tune, that when gibreel and the prophets I sell them, were about to
ascend to heaven. gibreel gave the Prophet two cups, two bowls, one of milk and one of wine, and the
Prophet chose milk. And gibreel said, had you drunk the wine, your own mo would have been led
astray. So what does that tell you? The interpretation of wine means misguidance not following
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:57
			knowledge. Right? It's the opposite of milk, which is following the knowledge and following the
teachings that has been sent to you on messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:10
			Let me give you another Hadith about meaning, also referring to the Allahu anhu. And this hadith is
also narrated Bahati that the prophets I seldom said, while I was asleep, and I saw in my dream
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:36
			I saw in my dream in front of me, many people, some of them were closed, just partially their
shoulder showing their legs showing, you know, people were merely covering up to their chest, their
shirt just came down to here just came down to their stomach and so on. But then our Marathi Allahu
anhu passed in front of me, and his shirt was dragging on the ground.
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:41
			What is the symbolism of the shirt? What would you assume it is?
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:47
			More than guidance.
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:51
			What does shirts do for us?
		
00:57:52 --> 00:58:38
			They beautify us, they protect us. They also are distinctive, right? This person dresses this way
and it makes them different from this person, right? He's wearing a power suit. And it's a he has an
important meeting. This person they're wearing something that is you know, basketball clothes that
you know that they're they're not going to work. They're in their pajamas, right? It gives layers of
distinction. So they asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or messenger of Allah. What do
you interpret the dream as he said, some of the law how it was said. It is a strictness in his
practice of the deen strictness in it, that it is covering up his faults, that it's something that
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:55
			honors him that people will make mention of Omar everyone will say or model the Allahu anhu he will
become a reference point, his clothing will distinguish him he will be known and notable for his
practice of the deen. What does the law describe Billy bass as in the Quran?
		
00:58:56 --> 00:59:13
			In Surah talara Allah says when he bears who taqwa Delica hide the garment of piety is the best one
to adorn yourself with, said armonico Mashallah. All right, let's take another look. Let's look at a
test we'll
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:16
			with using the Quran
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:35
			and let's look at how certain verses can be used and how we can make use of them in sha Allah and
we'll just go through a quick list in sha Allah. So let's choose some funny ones. What if you see a
donkey in a dream? What do you think it means? Anyone know any verses in the Quran that involve a
donkey?
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:40
			A bad sound Okay, so what do you think that bad sound means?
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:45
			How would you interpret it?
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:54
			It's people turning away from you right? People turning their ears away from you people not wanting
to listen to you people not giving you that attention.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:59
			What else Allah has described the donkeys as is that they carry books.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:28
			Have the total raw on their backs that weren't being practiced by those who were supposed to
maintain them. And Allah Subhana Allah says, Can methylene he mows the middle as well. You see the
donkey carrying books on their back that aren't inside themselves and allows characterizing me are
you as a person of faith that you might have the whole Quran memorized, but you don't practice it,
you're like, ah, donkey, that's burden with nothing.
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:33
			So when you see a donkey in your dream, it's symbolism
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:47
			can be that you will travel to seek knowledge. But that knowledge may not benefit you. Or that you
will carry knowledge to others who will benefit and you'll be excluded from it.
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:55
			Or you will be a person who will Bray and preach and teach and keep talking about knowledge.
		
01:00:56 --> 01:01:04
			But you're nothing but a donkey. You have no blessing in that regard. Let's take another symbol.
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:15
			All right, a rope. What does it mean? Just say you see yourself holding on to a rope? Is there an
image of ropes in the Quran?
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:16
			Now?
		
01:01:20 --> 01:02:08
			Yes, wow. Tulsi moved to have Lila hegemony. And therefore just say you're having a little bit of
difficulty in your marriage. And you know, your your not doing well with your wife, and Subhanallah
you see yourself and there's a rope as a symbol in your dream. It's a way of Allah subhanaw taala
telling you hold on to the rope of a law, meaning that covenant you've given in marriage, because
how did you get into marriage? You gave a promise to Allah, and it's to enact. You say when you're
shaking the hand of the Willie kaabil to Allah kitabi law in accordance to the book of Allah and the
student of the messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what about a ship? What do you think
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:09
			it means?
		
01:02:11 --> 01:02:12
			What didn't ride on
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:18
			the ship of salvation, right? So if you see yourself cruising
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:21
			in the Mediterranean
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:35
			that means you have done well to please Allah subhana wa Tada. And especially if the ship is in
troubled waters, and you're on the ship, but what if you see the ship and you're not on it?
		
01:02:37 --> 01:03:16
			something to worry about, because the ship is salvation. And Mr. Malik, he used to say that the ship
of salvation for the believer is the student of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
which means to you that imams would say to somebody who saw a dream of a ship, that they were doing
something that was bizarre that they have departed from the Sunnah of the messenger Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. What about wood? You're sitting there making things out of wood, or you
see yourself training to be a carpenter. It means hypocrisy. Allah subhana wa Taala describes the
hypocrites in the Koran by saying, Can
		
01:03:18 --> 01:03:32
			you see the hypocrites like leaning beams of timber? They used to be trees full of life and faith,
but now they're timber hollow. They're empty of faith. illness, you see yourself sick, it's
hypocrisy.
		
01:03:35 --> 01:03:43
			It means between you and Allah, you know what you should do but you're not doing it. And what is
supposed to be pleasing to Allah you're doing it for the pleasure of other people.
		
01:03:45 --> 01:03:46
			Clothing
		
01:03:48 --> 01:03:49
			can mean marriage.
		
01:03:51 --> 01:04:03
			And Allah subhana wa Taala says Hoon alabaster Lachlan, your wife is your garment. When to leave us
alone. clothing that covers you way too much. Isn't marriage
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:13
			it's not it's practice, in your relationship with Allah Subhana Allah as is the hadith of Mr. Raja
Lahore and it's about taqwa
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:33
			water, whether you are unable to drink it, or you're drinking too much of it, or you're surrounded
by it can signify that you are in or about to deal with a hardship and difficulty.
		
01:04:34 --> 01:04:42
			Water other than rain, not rain, weather, soft rain, hard rain, water, unable to drink it, even if
it's
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:59
			unable to. Because why do you drink Zamzam to do what for yourself to heal yourself, right? You have
troubles as *, I'm going to drink them and make your art to Allah that Allah will help me. So
even seeing them isn't isn't seen as something of comfort in that sense.
		
01:05:01 --> 01:05:04
			Heavy rain that
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:32
			keeps you in a place where you don't want to run out so you're sheltering under it. You're
sheltering under a tree under a roof because the rain is so hard. It means that there will be
difficulty after difficulty after difficulty. And then a loss of Hannah to Allah is about to test
you not once or twice, but it's going to rain upon you. So be steadfast and find your shelter.
Right.
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:47
			Let's do some narrations from the Hadeeth. And we'll take a few more examples a crow. If you see a
crow in your dream, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that crows are treacherous people.
		
01:05:48 --> 01:05:52
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said he labeled the crow fasttech
		
01:05:53 --> 01:06:42
			Allah horrible facet, meaning that there's someone you are trusting, who is actually a facet who's
about to let you down, who seeks your harm, rather than your well being. If you see a rib, whether
it's a rib that you're eating, or you know the ribs of a person who's exposed as you're walking, you
see someone who's skinny and their ribs stand out in your mind. It means a woman in your life is
about to face hardship. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described the woman as being
created from a rib. And men do to their injustice, try to hammer the rib and they break it. And
therefore when you see a rib, it is a sign that someone in your facility someone you love from the
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:58
			women in your household, your mother, your sister, your daughter is about to experience difficulty.
cups, vessels, plates signify women that are important in your life. In the prophets, I seldom
described women as
		
01:07:02 --> 01:07:29
			they are, you know, blessing vessels they are coloreel they are like crystals that you have to be
careful with. Don't drop her. Look at the imagery of the prophets, I sell them your wife annville
calvario he says orif can deal with the crystal softly Salalah Harrison look at the advice he would
give Rif conville kawari cuz you know, you drop her she's gonna break she's gonna shatter. Alright,
so Lola when he was sending
		
01:07:31 --> 01:08:06
			to see a bed, or a garage, or a sleeping quarter, or that you're in your home and your aunt, your
dream ends with you walking into your bedroom, or that your dream Ends with You laying down on your
bed, especially for a sister seeing a dream like that it means that you are suing to carry a child.
And the prophets I send him said, as well a doodle for a child that is soon to be born should always
be counted in the bed that he was born in, in the name of the father who shared that bed with that
person, even if they had passed away Salalah what he was sending them
		
01:08:07 --> 01:08:48
			horses galloping and running, whether you ride them or you see them in a distance or someone brings
them to you or you buy them or you sell them. All of them it means that they will bring in abundance
of good and an abundance of risk and it will come swiftly like the swiftness of a steed. All of
those are statements from the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.
So those are the first four of the nine principles. And I want you inshallah, because salata
narrative is soon upon us to go back and take a look at those verses and sort of use if and what you
will see you will be able to identify that there are names and symbols and meanings, that there are
		
01:08:49 --> 01:09:32
			things that are inverted in opposites, and things that are given in deficiency that will actually
bring plentifulness when the king sees that the cows that are small, eat the big cows, the healthy
cows, he thinks, you know, destruction is coming. But after it what happens, there's going to be a
resurgence and high yield and there's going to be so much goodness. So although you see that there's
an increase that brought decrease, if the cows were big, and then there were small ones that ate
them, then you see the that there's a resurgence and it comes back, there will come back years that
will outdo what has been taken from us. I want to end with three or four quick points in sha Allah,
		
01:09:33 --> 01:09:55
			so that we can end with some important principles. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a
person who taught people the value of dreams and wanted others to learn how to interpret them. And
after the prophets, I send them the best interpreter of dream after the prophets of Allah and now
one of them is Abu Bakr
		
01:09:56 --> 01:09:59
			and the reason is because of his suit, his truthfulness
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:06
			So the prophets I send them said, and I want this to be a general principle, as Dr. Morrow, as Dr.
Home had
		
01:10:07 --> 01:10:50
			the most truthful view in their dreams are the most truthful of you with their words. So when you
want to see good dreams, real dreams that give you prophecy of what's to come, be careful with your
promises, and your you know, the ones that are meaningful, and the ones that aren't always try to be
so deep, not just saw that. And therefore abubakr was the most truthful after the privatized lm he
was the most knowledgeable of the interpretation of dreams. Number two, the more you see a root
Yeah, the more important to these and the more true it is. And you get this from a number of
studies, more than one Sahabi in the same night heard the event before it was given to the prophets
		
01:10:50 --> 01:11:09
			I seldom, once a hobby comes and says I saw a dream that this is how we should call the people to
prayer. At the same time, there is also panela, I saw a dream where I saw the same event. Another
one guy heard the same event, the more people who see it, or the more times you see it, the more
true the dream is.
		
01:11:10 --> 01:11:11
			Next
		
01:11:16 --> 01:11:25
			is to know that dreams can be about past events, not just future. And you can see a row
		
01:11:26 --> 01:12:12
			about something you mistakenly understood in the past. It's not just Allah telling you what's going
to happen in the future. Most people have this mistake. Sometimes you see a dream, and you're
interpreting it about future events. When that's not the reality. It's actually a law talking to you
about something in the past, that you've misunderstood and a law wants you to re examine it
understand that correctly. Right? They could be about past, present and future. In fact, rarely are
they about future events. Most of the Imam say that most are to re ignite for you something that you
have misunderstood in the past. Drood true dreams increase as time comes to an end.
		
01:12:13 --> 01:12:57
			people understood this Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to me that people will see
true dreams when the digital is around or something right? Now what it actually means is that this
time that we're in now, the day is coming to an end, it's the prophets I send them saying in the
alterations of the early morning, and that's why people say oh, at the very early morning, they're
taking it from this statement that it's right now than Bismillah is about to go. The The dream is
going to be most truthful at a time of before you wake up or before you sleep. So in the in the two
extremes of the day. We're going to pause here so panicle Loma vmdk shadow Allah Li Lantus Africa to
		
01:12:57 --> 01:13:39
			be like, and we'll take a quick break for the other end in sha Allah and I will conclude just two
minutes before we get ready for Salah. So I want to end on just three final quick points in sha
Allah first, most of the dreams that we see that are glad tidings from Allah subhanho wa Taala that
are Oh yeah, that will agree take long time to be accomplished. Like prophet use of 40 years like
the Prophet Mohammed, tell me he saw making tell off it wasn't immediately had to wait another year,
they take a time for them to come into action. And therefore if you see a dream, and it comes into
action straight away, usually those are the dreams that are unlawful lamb that you can bring about.
		
01:13:39 --> 01:13:56
			So you saw a dream that you're drinking Honey, you went and drink honey and you you know you fix
that yourself. It's not a Rukia in that sense, it's something you enacted. The next thing that I
think is important to make mention of is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
01:13:58 --> 01:14:47
			he warned us that if we see true dreams, not to become overconfident, and not to make it a source of
pride, where we vibe with others in what we see, and say Allah Subhana Allah I saw this and you you
know Subhan Allah, I know more than you are, this is something that I've been blessed with that you
don't have. And rather dreams are indications in sha Allah of a good state with a law and it should
not be something that we take pride or go to extremes it. Finally, dreams are entirely presumptions,
in the terms of us having them as a vision, you're presuming you've understood it. But that never
allows you to contravene the Sharia to attain it. And therefore just say you see in a dream, your
		
01:14:47 --> 01:14:53
			grandfather, may Allah have mercy on the departed just say I see my grandfather and he comes to me
yeah here.
		
01:14:55 --> 01:15:00
			I want you in sha Allah from now on to do
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:06
			This particular thing or to give this particular donation might be a good thing he asked to give
this particular donation. Don't do it.
		
01:15:08 --> 01:15:50
			Don't do it just because of the dream. And this happened in the time of Abdullah happiness or the
Allahu anhu. A man woke up and he saw, he said, I saw in a dream that the one who prays to Raka
today will be forgiving their sins. So people when they hurt and he was a righteous person, so and
I'm 11 years old is the Sahabi so and I'm the loving him as rude heard this, everyone started coming
to the masjid to pray to America. I believe me, Mr. Rude, stood at the door of the masjid and said
Ruggiero, LWT come go back to your home for inner who had to shave on that was a passing sheath on
that he saw. So Pamela, because our Sharia does not legislate that you would wonder why would
		
01:15:50 --> 01:16:16
			Abdullah never tell people not to pray in the masjid? What so what did they went in pray to it
because the false belief would take root that on account of someone seeing a dream, it can change
that reality. Right, it can change our spiritual reality and our practice of Islam. So May Allah
subhanaw taala protect us from this May Allah subhanaw taala continue to guide our hearts and make
us from those who are accessible to the truth allama mean
