Dreams Of The Prophets And The Righteous

Exploring the fascinating world of dreams, this comprehensive reference examines more than 250 dream-related topics, from art to history to science, including how factors such as self-healing, ESP, literature, religion, sex, cognition and memory, and medical conditions can all have an effect on dreams. Dream symbolism and interpretation is examined in historical, cultural, and psychological detail, while a dictionary—updated with 1,000 symbols and explanations—offers further insights. Dreaming about teeth, for instance, can indicate control issues, and dreaming of a zoo can indicate that the dreamer needs to tidy up some situation. Examining these concepts and more, this is the ultimate dreamer's companion.

The intepretation of dreams is one of the greatest, comprehence and most useful types of knowledge. The prophet (saw) said: 'A good dreams (that comes true) of a righteous man is one forty-sixth part of prophethood' and he (saw) also said; nothing is left of the prophethood except al Mubashshirat?' They asked, 'What are al Mubashshirat?' He (saw) replied, 'the good true dreams (that convey glad tidings).'Imam Malik (ra) was asked, 'can anyone interpret dreams? He answered: 'Can anyone play with prophethood'. The prophet (saw) has forbidden us to ask anyone about the interpretation of dreams, except a scholar. Due to the nobility and importance of this knowledge Allah (swt) has associated it with his prophets and righteous servants. The two imprisoned men told Yusuf (as) 'inform us of the interpretation of this. Very, we think you are one of the muhsinun (Does of good)' [Surah Yusuf Ayah 36]In an era when the banner of Sunnah is raised, Muslims are waiting for a new dawn and since the demand for books on the interpretation of dreams is on the increase, I have decided to compile a book from the etiquette and interpretation of dreams. I hope that Muslims, all over the world, would benefit from it and I ask Allah (swt) for his reward, on the day of judgement. I do not claim that I have excelled in this knowledge, nor become an interpreter of dreams, but I am entirely dependant upon the works of salaf saleh (righteous predecessors) and I only pass on their knowledge to the Muslim Ummah.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Most Compassionate. Praise to the One Who completed this religion and sent guidance through His Messenger salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam. To begin: Every so often our daily lives preoccupy us and turn us away from Allah's promise. When we walk out of our homes, turn on the radio, TV, or Internet, we are distracted by the evils we see and hear. As result of immorality and unashamed disobedience, our hearts grow hard and distant from Allah and His Messenger's call. We know the message of Islam is true, but we are weak due to the rigidity of our heart, spirit and mind. In times like these, we need something to penetrate that stiffness. We need a remedy to soften that hardness and the inflexibility of our choices. Disunity and harshness afflicts this Ummah today. Consequently, many people have turned away from brotherhood, caring, and even Islam itself. Their hearts have transformed into dwellings of complete hatred for a sinner, disdain toward the weak Muslim, and jealousy of their successful brother or sister.I have selected some ahaadeeth from the most authentic book after the Qur'aan to soften the hearts in our chests. I used Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen's explanations for the ahaadeeth selected. The ahaadeeth selected come from a book in Imam Al-Bukhari's collection titled Riqaq: Heart Softeners. This chapter brings tears to one's eyes, fear to one's mind, and most importantly it diminishes the rigidity in one's heart. I ask Allah to make the translation and compilation solely for His pleasure. I pray to Allah for acceptance of this deed and His mercy in the Hereafter.Abu Aaliyah Abdullah ibn Dwight Battle Ramadan 18th, 1433Doha, Qatar (c)

Throughout history to the present day, religion has ideologically fueled wars, conquests, and persecutions. Christianity and Islam, the world's largest and geopolitically powerful faiths, are often positioned as mortal enemies locked in an apocalyptic "clash of civilizations." Rarely are similarities addressed. Dreaming in Christianity and Islam, the first book to explore dreaming in these religions through original essays, fills this void. The editors reach a plateau by focusing on how studying dreams reveals new aspects of social and political reality. International scholars document the impact of dreams on sacred texts, mystical experiences, therapeutic practices, and doctrinal controversies.
