FIRST REMINDER Monday. ISLAMIC TEACHINGS ABOUT DREAMS. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Dreams are of three kinds according to the teachings of our beloved messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam: Ru'yaa, good dreams, Hulum, bad dreams and Dreams from our own thoughts. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be upon Him) said, "There are three types of dreams: a righteous dream which is glad tidings from Allah, the dream which causes sadness is from Satan (the devil), and a dream from the ramblings of the mind. (Related by Muslim). You may share your good dreams with those you like as Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing Be upon Him) said, "If one sees a good dream, let him expect good, and not tell it except to those he likes (someone pious, honest, trustworthy)."(related by Muslim) An example of the above Hadeeth is Prophet (Jacob) Yaqoob (Peace Be upon Him) telling his son, Josef (Yusuf) (Peace Be upon Him) concerning his dream about eleven stars and the sun and the moon prostrating to him: "He said, "O my son! Relate not your vision to your brothers lest they arrange a plot against you. Verily! Satan is to man an open enemy." (Surah Yusuf 12:5). We know the brothers of Yusuf were jealous of him, therefore telling them the dream only served to increase their jealousy. So it is important that a good dream only be shared with trustworthy people who do not envy. Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing Be upon Him) also told us, "Nothing is left of Prophethood except glad tidings." Those with him asked, "What are glad tidings?" He replied, "Good dreams." (related by Al-Bukhari). To be continued in shaa ALLAH. May Allah keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic dreams. Aameen.
