Dreams fascinate, amaze, bewilder and even foretell events to come. The interpretation of dreams remains a topic of intense debate both amongst the learned and the ignorant. Despite a great deal of study, however, they remain in the twilight zone between fact and fiction.
There are many different forms of dreams; some of these (اضغاث احلام) are simply fictional with no consequence or basis in reality. At the other end of the scale are the kinds that were described today – dreams that are not founded in reality as much as reality is founded in them.
The first of these dreams described today was that of Ibrahim Nabi (AS) instructing him to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS). Ibrahim Nabi (AS) did so and the accepted belief is that as he went to sacrifice Ismail (AS) on the day of Eid al-Adha Jibra'eel brought a lamb to be sacrificed in his place.
This brought about the tradition of sacrificial slaughter on Eid al-Adha, the bakri eid. The true meaning of the sacrifice and the lamb cannot be understood literally as the Muslim world at large have done but requires interpretation through taweel.
Huzurala (TUS) recounted several such dreams. There was the dream of Molana Abdul Muttalib (AS) in which he was instructed to dig the well of Zamzam. After he had done so a dispute broke out with the Quraysh as to who owned the rights to the waters of the well. The dispute was resolved when the Quraysh found themselves stranded in the desert without water. They gave up all hope and dug graves for themselves in which to sit and await death.
Molana Abdul Muttalib (AS) refused to give up as the others had done and mounted his camel. The camel raised its hoof and water gushed out from the ground beneath. On witnessing this miracle, the Quraysh accepted Molana Abdul Muttalib's (AS) virtue and gave up their claim.
The next dream Moula (TUS) narrated was that of Imam Moiz (AS) who saw himself seated on high ground while a battle was being fought before him. He had a number of swords in front of him and Molana Ali (AS), Molana Hamza (AS) and Molana Jafer al-Tayyar (AS) came in turn, picked one up a sword and went to combat the enemy. From amongst the many persons around the Imam rose the aged face of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari who came to pick up a sword. Imam Moiz (AS) dismissed him with contempt and as being unworthy of any sword.
(Abu Musa al-Ash'ari had betrayed Molana Ali (AS) at the battle of Siffin.)
Molana recounted some of the dreams of the Doat Mutlaqin (RA).
Syedna Jalal (R.A.) saw the Imam in his dreams on two occasions, in one of which he was instructed to confer nas on the two Dais Syedna Dawood bin Qutubshah (R.A.) and Syedna Dawood bin Ajabshah (R.A.).
Syedi Abdul Qadir Hakimuddin's (RA) wife, while carrying Syedna Ibrahim Wajihuddin (RA) in her womb, saw a dream in which light radiated from her womb and filled the entire house and city. Syedi Hakimuddin (R.A.) recognized this as a sign of the future glory of his son.
Later, in his own lifetime, Syedna Ibrahim (RA) himself saw a dream which resolved his dilemma as to whom he should confer nas upon. He had been taken very ill as he pondered whether to confer nas on Syedi Sheikhadam, in accordance with Syedna Ismail's instruction, or upon his own son Syedna Hebatullah (RA). In his dream he was instructed to confer nas upon Syedna Hebatullah (R.A.) and he was also informed that Syedi Sheikhadam had passed away in Mandvi. His burden having been lifted Syedna Ibrahim (R.A.) regained consciousness and health.
During the time of Syedna Zainuddin (R.A.), Syedna Abdulhusain Husamuddin (R.A.) saw the Imam upon his throne in a dream - a sign that he would eventually become Dai.
Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA) was bestowed the honor of the deedar of 3 Imams together in his dream during the age of Syedna Abdullah Badruddin (RA) (his predecessor).
Many Mumineen are fortunate enough to see the Dai in their dreams. We awake from such dreams and tell our loved ones. We remember such dreams for a lifetime and long for more to happen. Such dreams are true dreams.
Many Mumineen are able to do their araz or qadambosi in these dreams, or have an answer to an important question. Some will be given reassurance for troubles they are experiencing or even from troubles yet to come.
To see Aqa Moula (TUS) in a dream is no less than to see him in reality and is a confirmation of how our bawa mushfiq is there for us at anytime and in any place.
Like dreams themselves, Huzurala (TUS) transcends time and place. He is the ultimate dream and he is the ultimate reality. A Mumin's dream is to be with him at all times and in every place and Molana (TUS) has made this dream come true by telling us that he carries us with him always in his heart.
May Allah T'aala preserve our beloved Moula in health and vitality to make the dreams of every mumin come true till the day of Qiyamat.
Ameen

Re: Reflections on the 3rd Waaz, 4rd Moharram 1426 H
I agree.Dreams fascinate, amaze, bewilder and even foretell events to come. The interpretation of dreams remains a topic of intense debate both amongst the learned and the ignorant. Despite a great deal of study, however, they remain in the twilight zone between fact and fiction.
There are many different forms of dreams; some of these (اضغاث احلام) are simply fictional with no consequence or basis in reality. At the other end of the scale are the kinds that were described today – dreams that are not founded in reality as much as reality is founded in them.
Dreams arise both from the sub consciousness as well as from the super consciousness, the dreams from the sub consciousness are meaningless where as those from the super consciousness have a deep meaning.
True meanings are revealed by Allah through intuition into the hearts of people who are receptive to the divine wisdom. There is no secret about it. Self sacrifice is the best form of sacrifice, it is easy to kill a weak lamb, but far difficult it is to kill the animals inside yourself, and far more virtuous it is too.The first of these dreams described today was that of Ibrahim Nabi (AS) instructing him to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS). Ibrahim Nabi (AS) did so and the accepted belief is that as he went to sacrifice Ismail (AS) on the day of Eid al-Adha Jibra'eel brought a lamb to be sacrificed in his place.
This brought about the tradition of sacrificial slaughter on Eid al-Adha, the bakri eid. The true meaning of the sacrifice and the lamb cannot be understood literally as the Muslim world at large have done but requires interpretation through taweel.
History abounds with miracles and dreams. What miracle have you witnessed in your own life ?Huzurala (TUS) recounted several such dreams. There was the dream of Molana Abdul Muttalib (AS) in which he was instructed to dig the well of Zamzam. After he had done so a dispute broke out with the Quraysh as to who owned the rights to the waters of the well. The dispute was resolved when the Quraysh found themselves stranded in the desert without water. They gave up all hope and dug graves for themselves in which to sit and await death.
Molana Abdul Muttalib (AS) refused to give up as the others had done and mounted his camel. The camel raised its hoof and water gushed out from the ground beneath. On witnessing this miracle, the Quraysh accepted Molana Abdul Muttalib's (AS) virtue and gave up their claim.
So what does hat have to do with us ?The next dream Moula (TUS) narrated was that of Imam Moiz (AS) who saw himself seated on high ground while a battle was being fought before him. He had a number of swords in front of him and Molana Ali (AS), Molana Hamza (AS) and Molana Jafer al-Tayyar (AS) came in turn, picked one up a sword and went to combat the enemy. From amongst the many persons around the Imam rose the aged face of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari who came to pick up a sword. Imam Moiz (AS) dismissed him with contempt and as being unworthy of any sword.
(Abu Musa al-Ash'ari had betrayed Molana Ali (AS) at the battle of Siffin.)
Okay ... show us how we also can have such dreams ! Everyone has had dreams, some true some false, so what’s the point ?Molana recounted some of the dreams of the Doat Mutlaqin (RA).
Syedna Jalal (R.A.) saw the Imam in his dreams on two occasions, in one of which he was instructed to confer nas on the two Dais Syedna Dawood bin Qutubshah (R.A.) and Syedna Dawood bin Ajabshah (R.A.).
Syedi Abdul Qadir Hakimuddin's (RA) wife, while carrying Syedna Ibrahim Wajihuddin (RA) in her womb, saw a dream in which light radiated from her womb and filled the entire house and city. Syedi Hakimuddin (R.A.) recognized this as a sign of the future glory of his son.
The moral of the story; We should be true to our dreams, not to what any dai says.Later, in his own lifetime, Syedna Ibrahim (RA) himself saw a dream which resolved his dilemma as to whom he should confer nas upon. He had been taken very ill as he pondered whether to confer nas on Syedi Sheikhadam, in accordance with Syedna Ismail's instruction, or upon his own son Syedna Hebatullah (RA). In his dream he was instructed to confer nas upon Syedna Hebatullah (R.A.) and he was also informed that Syedi Sheikhadam had passed away in Mandvi. His burden having been lifted Syedna Ibrahim (R.A.) regained consciousness and health.
If such dreams are true, then you want to know what I dreamt ? I dreamt that the present dai was asking me "Why are you not doing matam ?" and I replied "Because I love only Khuda" and the dai was very happy with my reply ! In another dream I saw the huge crowd of flowers lifting the dais takath (huge chair from which he delivers the wayaz) and carrying him around like they do during moharram wayaz, and then the takath fell and the people carrying him rushed to touch him and they all fell above one another and in the stampede that followed the dai was crushed into many pieces.During the time of Syedna Zainuddin (R.A.), Syedna Abdulhusain Husamuddin (R.A.) saw the Imam upon his throne in a dream - a sign that he would eventually become Dai.
Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA) was bestowed the honor of the deedar of 3 Imams together in his dream during the age of Syedna Abdullah Badruddin (RA) (his predecessor).
Many Mumineen are fortunate enough to see the Dai in their dreams. We awake from such dreams and tell our loved ones. We remember such dreams for a lifetime and long for more to happen. Such dreams are true dreams.
May Allah T'aala give toufiq to every mumin that they may be awakened from their fitful sleep of worshiping a mortal man in place of Allah.Many Mumineen are able to do their araz or qadambosi in these dreams, or have an answer to an important question. Some will be given reassurance for troubles they are experiencing or even from troubles yet to come.
To see Aqa Moula (TUS) in a dream is no less than to see him in reality and is a confirmation of how our bawa mushfiq is there for us at anytime and in any place.
Like dreams themselves, Huzurala (TUS) transcends time and place. He is the ultimate dream and he is the ultimate reality. A Mumin's dream is to be with him at all times and in every place and Molana (TUS) has made this dream come true by telling us that he carries us with him always in his heart.

A show of spirituality from a materialistic person. I think the dai himself must be having nightmares when he sleeps. It is so easy to prey on the gulible bohra masses who fall for every word that he speaks.May Allah T'aala preserve our beloved Moula in health and vitality to make the dreams of every mumin come true till the day of Qiyamat.
