The Image of Allah in a Dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a person sees his Lord in a dream, is the image of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in His reality like what the dreamer saw in his dream?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, my brothers, I do not enter into these matters. I do not engage in these matters. And who is the one who has the qualification to know Allah with complete knowledge and see Him in His image (Glorified and Exalted is He)? Satan does not come to him and say, "I am Allah" or "I am your Lord" or "I am the Messenger of Allah." This leads a person into things from which he may not emerge. A person enters into things from which he may not get out. Leave these things alone. Yes. The sanctity of Allah in a dream requires faith, strong faith, and knowledge of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and strong knowledge. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. That is the end.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon... Allah.
