Dreams

Thus We established Yusuf (Joseph), and strengthened his position in the land (of Egypt), so that We might teach him how to infer from the events (i.e., the interpretation of dreams). And Allah is the Master of His work, but most people do not know.12/21

O my Lord! Verily, You granted me dominion and blessed me with the knowledge of the interpretation of dreams. O Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Helper in this world and in the Hereafter (as well). Make me die in a state of total submission to (the Din [Religion] of) Islam, and make me join the company of those who are upright.’12/101

Beware! Verily, the friends of Allah will not have any fear, nor will they grieve. (They) are the people who believe and (always) remain Godfearing, committed to piety. There is for them the good news (of honour and recognition) in the life of the world, and (also of forgiveness and intercession) in the Hereafter. (Or there are blessed spiritual visions in this world in the form of pious dreams, and in the Hereafter in the shape of effulgent disclosures of Allah’s absolute beauty and sight.) The commands of Allah never change. That is the colossal achievement.10/62-64

Anas Bin Malik said that the Holy Prophet (Sallaho Alahi Wasallam) said: ‘Messengership and Prophethood have come to an end, and there will be no More Messengers or Prophets. This worried the people, then he said: But there will be Al-Mubashshirat. They said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what are Al-Mubashshirat’ He said, the dreams of a Muslim man, and they are one of the parts of Prophethood’. (Ahmed,Tirmizi)

Narrated ‘Aisha: (the mother of the faithful believers) The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah’s Apostle was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira….. (bukhari)

Ibn al Qayyim writes: After dying, the Ruh (Spirit) can do those things that it cannot do when the person is alive in the dunya, (world) just as one or two Ruhs defeated a large army. Many companions relate that they saw the Messenger of Allah, (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, May Allah be well pleased with them, in their dreams at night fighting with them against the kuffar and winning the battle. Then it became a reality: on the following day a small army of Muslims defeated an army of many, many kafirs. [Kitab ar-Ruh, chapter 15, Ibn al Qayyim]

THE ETIQUETTE(ADABS) OF DREAMS-If you see a good dream then relate it to someone who loves you. If an unpleasant dream is observed, one should sputter three times or blow three times on the left side. Do not reveal bad dreams to anyone. Change sides when seeing bad dreams. (if sleeping on the right side, turn to the left or vice-versa). If one sees a bad dream or nightmare read thrice: AUZU BILLAHI MINASH SHAYTAANIR RAJEEM WA MIN SHARRI HAAZIHIR RUYAA. By doing this, the dream will have no ill effects .To pretend to have had a dream which he did not is a sin:Islam rejects all forms of lying. If he sees in a dream what he likes, then he should recount it only to someone who he likes. If he sees what he dislikes, then he should seek refuge in God from its evil and from the evil of the devil. Talk about dreams only to a friend or to someone of sound judgement. Dreams are for the individual who had them and not for others.  If a Muslim feels he has seen the Prophet (s.a.w.), and/or received from him some kind of instruction or advice, he must keep it to himself and must not divulge it to others.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)

Make sure you forward this to others .
