Types of Dreams and Visions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: As for the dreams that come to me in my sleep, when I see a vision, I get up the next day and ask about it. Is this permissible, O Shaykh?
Answer:
Dreams are of different types. Some are mere jumbled thoughts and dreams that have no significance. A person may be thinking about something or concerned about something, and then when he sleeps, that thing appears to him. These are jumbled dreams that one should not pay attention to. The second type is from Shaytan. Shaytan tries to disturb the son of Adam. If he does not recite the remembrances that are prescribed at the time of sleep, and does not recite Ayat al-Kursi, Surah al-Ikhlas, and the two Surahs of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatayn), and does not recite the remembrances that have been transmitted, then Shaytan comes to him. He may come to him in his sleep and disturb his sleep with disturbing dreams. So they are from Shaytan, and one should not pay attention to them.
As for the third type, which is the vision that comes through the hand of the angel of the vision, it is a true vision. He should ask someone to interpret it or explain its meaning to him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
