    dreams and hopes

    Report bad ads?

    I just wanted to know is day dreaming haram in islam like for eg dreaming of the things you want to have eg good husband or seeing your self in the job of your dream constantly trying to be the person you want to be is the wrong i heard a saying where it says dreaming of being something else is waste of who you are?

    But isnt dreams what gives us hopes yes alternatively not all dreams come true for eg everyone dreams of happy marriage but we all know that there are many marriages which have not turned out tat way so does thant mean one should stop dreaming and not have hopes eventhough the chances are they may not come true.

    Re: dreams and hopes

    if you day dream like over the top the day dream, then you can end up having a false life, like livin a life of dreams and it does happen, like many people end up imaginin they have friends and thye are hav swish swosh job and that, when really they are unemployed joe, livin off benefits

    i believe there is nothin wrong with dreamin, but i would re phrase it to a aim, insteadin of dreamin, aim for what you want, like let me give you a wicked example, if you want all A's in your exams, you gota put the effort in, you cant do nothin and expect tip top marks, so aim high definately, but make sure you do the stuff needed to fulfill your aims, otherwise its pointless!

    Re: dreams and hopes

    I don't think daydreaming about something good is haram.

    I hope this helps:

    It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: glad tidings from Allaah, what is on a person’s mind, and frightening dreams from the Shaytaan. If any of you sees a dream that he likes, let him tell others of it if he wishes, but if he sees something that he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, and he should get up and pray.”

    (Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3154)


    It was narrated that Abu Salamah said: I used to see such terrible dreams that that I began to shake and have a fever, but did not cover myself with a cloak until I met Abu Qutaadah, and I mentioned that to him. He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, ‘Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan. If anyone sees a bad dream that he dislikes, let him spit drily to his left three times and seek refuge with Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him.’”

    (Narrated by Muslim, 2261)

    Re: dreams and hopes

    ^ Sis, the above hadith are about dreams experienced during sleep.

    If we do daydream about nice things, we should dream about seeing Allah swt in the here-after.. What more could inspire us to better ourselves? But as human-nature goes, when we do dream of nice things in the dunya we should ask ourselves if we are worthy of them in the eyes of Allah swt. Are we striving hard enough to please the Bestower of Blessings? It's no good hoping for anything good if we don't do good.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Allah subhana wa ta'ala says:

    "Is there any Reward for Good - other than Good?" (Quran: 55:60)


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    And due to Allah ta'ala being the All-Knowing, we may not receive something that we think is good for us. So whether our dreams come true or not, we should accept it as Allah's will and say 'alhumdulillah Rabbil alaamiin' in all circumstances. That way Allah will be pleased with us for being patience and praising Him in all times as Allah subhana wa ta'ala Himself says in the Qur'an:

    "Allah loves those who are patient" (3: 146)

    “Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning” (azZumar:10).


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Umm Salamah (rA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say: “There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity and says what Allah has enjoined – ‘Verily to Allah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction and compensate me with something better’ – but Allah will compensate him with something better” (Muslim).



    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Suhayb (rA) said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affairs are all good, and this applies to no one but the believer. If something good happens to him, he is thankful for it and that is good for him. If something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience and that is good for him” (Muslim).



    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (s) passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her to fear Allah and be patient. She said to him, “Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine.” And she did not recognize him. Then she was informed that he was the Prophet. So she went to the house of the Prophet and there she did not find any guard. Then she said to him, “I did not recognize you.” He said, "Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity” (Bukhari)
