Dreams In Islaam

Average height changes from race to race. Nordic people tend to be taller and far eastern people tend to be shorter for example. I think it is about feelings. If Reminder feels that it was Him it is Him..Just my opinion..

Yes, that is possible. But Arabs are not short, though. As a race. They are average height. They're not tall like certain races, but neither are they short.

5'11 is the average height.

As I had figured based on my dream, this research proves average height in the Middle Ages to be approximately 5 foot 7 or 8.

Anyway, I don't get what you are trying to say. Are you actually trying to suggest I didn't actually dream of our prophet (saw)?

I already told you, it was him (pbuh) 100%.

Whatever, believe what you want.

In "Nashrut Teeb", Hind ibn Abi Haalah describes Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم as being above average height.

Also, if 5'8" was the average height, then how would Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم have been 5'7"? Particularly if you take into consideration the narrations stating slightly above average height.

I'm not denying that you may have seen Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم in the dream. What I am saying is that 1) He was not short, 2) Certain `Ulamaa in their Kitaabs have brought narrations to show that he was above average height.

Possibly the people next to him were very tall. So, we shouldn't say that he was 5'7", for example. What if the people next to him were all 6'2, 6'3, etc? Then if he is 5'11 or 6'0", it will seem to be the average height in comparison to them.

If anyone else has had dreams, feel free to post them here, In Shaa Allaah.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ المُسَيِّبِ: أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا المُبَشِّرَاتُ» قَالُوا: وَمَا المُبَشِّرَاتُ؟ قَالَ: «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ

رواه البخاري

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said, "I heard Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: "Nothing remains from Nubuwwah except the glad tidings." They (the Sahaabah) asked: "And what are the glad tidings?" He said, "The good dream." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

So we learn from this that the good dreams a Muslim has are glad-tidings from Allaah Ta`aalaa, so he should make Shukr to Allaah Ta`aalaa for them.

May Allaah Ta`aalaa grant all of us good dreams as glad-tidings,

آمين يا رب العالمين

وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ: رُؤْيَا النَّهَارِ مِثْلُ رُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ

Ibn `Awn narrates from Imaam ibn Seereen, who said, "The dream seen during the day is like the dream seen at night." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

I usually forget mine. So yeah.

And Allah knows best.

Do this:

Haafiz ibn Hajar al-`Asqalaani رحمة الله عليه states in Fat-hul Baari that a person who wants to get true dreams should do the following:

1) Sleep with Wudhoo.

2) Lay on his right side.

3) Recite Soorah ash-Shams, Soorah al-Layl, Soorah at-Teen, Soorah al-Ikhlaas, Soorah al-Falaq and Soorah an-Naas.

4) He should make the following Du`aa:

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من سيء الأحلام، وأستجيرك من تلاعب الشيطان في اليقظة والمنام، اللهم إني أسألك رؤيا صادقة نافعة حافظة غير منسية، اللهم أرني في منامي ما أحب


Allaahumma Innee A`oodhu Bika min Sayyi'il Ahlaam, wa Astajeeruka min Talaa`ub-ish-Shaytaan fil-Yaqazhati wal Manaam. Allaahumma Innee As'aluka Ru'yaa Saadiqah, Naafi`ah, Haafizhah, Ghayra Mansiyyah. Allaahumma Arinee fee Manaamee Maa Uhibbu

(O Allaah, I seek protection in You from evil dreams, and I seek Your Protection from the playing of Shaytaan, both in wakefulness and in sleep. O Allaah, I ask You for dreams which are truthful, beneficial, remembered and not forgotten (after waking up). O Allaah, show me in my dreams that which I want to see.)

آمين يا رب العالمين

If you do this with Ikhlaas and Istiqaamah, In Shaa Allaah, Allaah Ta`aalaa will grant you true dreams as glad-tidings, and you won't forget them.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ، فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ، حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَظْفَارِي، ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي - يَعْنِي - عُمَرَ» قَالُوا: فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «العِلْمَ

Hadhrat `Abdullaah ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما narrates: "I heard Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: "While I was sleeping, I was presented (in the dream) with a container of milk, so I drank from it until I saw it flowing in my fingernails. Thereafter, I gave what remained to `Umar." They (the Sahaabah) asked, "How do you interpret it, Yaa Rasoolallaah?" He said, "`Ilm." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

We learn from this Hadeeth that seeing milk in a dream signifies `Ilm (Knowledge of Deen).

والله تعالى أعلم

Seeing the beloved of Allaah Ta`aalaa in a dream (and all such dreams are true dreams) is a Gift given only to those fortunate enough to be chosen for it by Allaah Ta`aalaa. We make Du`aa for it, but are we deserving of it? How much Durood do we send upon him? When we love Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم enough, In Shaa Allaah, we will be given the gift of seeing him in our dreams.
