[0:00][Music] and may the peace and blessings of the almighty god be

[0:11]upon his pure and beloved messenger the peak of his creation the

[0:18]symbol of humanity the holy prophet muhammad respected brothers and sisters i

[0:34]sincerely welcome you to our program this evening as we discuss the

[0:41]religious perspective on the world of dreams previously we have examined the

[0:47]religious perspective on astrology on manifestation and tonight we will examine a

[0:57]subject that impacts us every single day one of the most important

[1:06]aspects of our lives that has an impact on us is dreams

[1:12]sometimes you find some dreams giving you so much hope so much

[1:22]energy they create excitement in your life to the contrary sometimes you

[1:28]have that terrible nightmare that ruins your whole day your whole week

[1:35]sometimes even your entire month dreams have an impact on us psychologically

[1:42]physically spiritually scientists are trying to figure out what dreams are until

[1:53]today science does not exactly know how the world of dreams work

[1:58]why do we dream what are the effects of dreaming what exactly

[2:04]goes on in the mind when you have a dream scientists are

[2:11]constantly trying to discover that but until today they don't exactly know

[2:15]how the world of dreams works now we can have some scientific

[2:22]statistics on dreams for instance scientists tell us that on average how

[2:30]long do you dream every night on average does anyone know you

[2:37]can make an educated guess two minutes no way more than that

[2:44]yes four hours much much closer a little bit less than that

[2:52]cut that in half what do you have two hours scientists say

[2:58]based on their research based on their studies that on average people

[3:03]who sleep at night they dream for about two hours now during

[3:10]these two hours on average how many dreams do we see yes

[3:16]brother in the back four that's pretty accurate scientists state that on

[3:22]average you see between three and six dreams when you are asleep

[3:28]at night between three and six so four is a pretty accurate

[3:33]figure there how long does an average dream last you can have

[3:38]some you can have some very brief quick ones some longer ones

[3:42]on average what do scientists say yes on average when you see

[3:49]a dream how long does the dream last that dream how long

[3:52]does it last on average two hours you'll see three to six

[3:58]dreams but one single dream how long would it last yes 30

[4:07]minutes 15 minutes yes on average it's between 5 and 20 minutes

[4:13]now when you wake up you've had two hours of dreams but

[4:20]scientists tell us that 95 of the dreams will be forgotten by

[4:26]the time you get out of bed you've forgotten 95 of the

[4:30]dreams that you've had that night so most of the dreams that

[4:34]we see we end up forgetting them only about five percent is

[4:38]retained in our memory now yes that 95 can be stored in

[4:46]your subconscious it still has an effect but consciously you forget about

[4:49]most of the dreams now if you ask a scientist a psychologist

[4:54]what purpose do dreams serve science will tell you that dreams are

[5:00]very important and beneficial one dreams regulate our mood when it comes

[5:11]to our emotional stability dreams are actually good for that dreams also

[5:17]aid with memory when you sleep at night and you have dreams

[5:24]scientists tell us that this is helping with your memory especially long-term

[5:29]memory that's another benefit another benefit of dreams it regulates your immune

[5:39]system it also aids with your brain function so dreams have amazing

[5:46]impacts and effects on us and every single day scientists are trying

[5:52]to discover that to see what's going on with the brain when

[5:56]you are dreaming so this is a very important topic that affects

[6:02]us and it is something that people ask about all the time

[6:06]what is the significance of my dream what's the interpretation of my

[6:12]dream a lot of the questions i personally get from people is

[6:17]about dreams say it i had this dream and this is what

[6:19]happened what is the meaning of my dream people care about what

[6:24]they see in their dreams they try to find messages in those

[6:28]dreams so let's discuss the religious perspective the islamic perspective on the

[6:34]world of dreams let's begin with the holy quran the holy quran

[6:40]discusses a number of major dreams that have had a historical impact

[6:48]what is one dream that the holy quran talks about prophet who

[6:55]prophet yusuf alayhi sallam what did he see no the seven cows

[7:04]the king of egypt saw them he interpreted it but what dream

[7:07]did he have prophet isa yes a prophet yusuf alayhi yes so

[7:16]when he was a young boy prophet yusuf alaihissalam saw the sun

[7:21]and the moon and 11 stars planets prostrating to him he told

[7:32]his father about this dream his father said don't tell anyone about

[7:37]this dream this is indicating a very important position for you but

[7:42]don't tell anyone about this dream so yes this is one dream

[7:45]that the holy quran talks about some other dreams that the quran

[7:50]talks about you meant you referred to it what happened with those

[7:55]cows it yes it's that dream that the king of egypt have

[8:05]salaam alaikum which indicated that a drought would be coming that's the

[8:08]interpretation that prophet yusuf alaihi islam gave so that's another dream that

[8:13]the holy quran talks about what other dreams does the holy quran

[8:17]talk about yes sister the dream that she had before she put

[8:33]him in the river actually the quran says that was revelation we

[8:40]revealed to her to do that the quran doesn't refer to it

[8:44]as a dream but it was more of a revelation that allah

[8:46]revealed to her what other dreams do you recall from the quran

[8:52]yes prophet ibrahim was instructed by allah to kill his son of

[8:57]course it was a trial we know but he received this instruction

[9:03]from allah in what form in the form of a dream he

[9:07]says to his son i see in my dream that i am

[9:11]slaughtering you he says father do what you have been instructed to

[9:14]do that's another dream that the holy quran talks about what other

[9:19]dream do you recall from the quran yes he saw her in

[9:31]real life and she put him through a lot of trouble right

[9:34]any other dreams that you recall from the quran yes brother yes

[9:46]we discussed the dream of prophet yusuf where he saw the sun

[9:50]and the moon and 11 stars planets another dream that we haven't

[9:53]discussed yet so far does anyone recall other dreams that the quran

[9:57]mentions yes brother yes that's the one that we just referred to

[10:06]right now prophet ibrahim sacrificing his son other than these which we

[10:11]have mentioned a dream that we haven't mentioned yet does anyone recall

[10:15]a dream that the quran discusses that we have not mentioned yet

[10:19]yes yes the companions of the prison they were with prophet yusuf

[10:32]alaihi islam and one of them said i see a dream where

[10:34]i am making wine i'm squeezing the grapes to make wine he

[10:39]told him that's an indication you'll be freed the other one what

[10:46]did he say he saw he saw the the crows the birds

[10:52]eating bread from his head he's the one who ended up being

[10:58]killed or dying that's another dream that the holy quran talks about

[11:01]what dream does the quran talk about about our prophet muhammad does

[11:09]anyone recall that which event i'll give you the hint it was

[11:20]year six of the hijra when the prophet saw this dream year

[11:23]seven the dream was actualized it became a reality the treaty that

[11:40]the prophet did with the pagans he saw a dream that he

[11:44]along with the muslims are entering in masjid al-haram in the state

[11:47]of iran they're doing their pilgrimage he told his companions my companions

[11:55]i saw this dream that we are entering the grand mosque in

[11:58]the state of now the companions were excited the meccans they will

[12:04]let us go to masjid al-haram is that really possible allah [Music]

[12:20]of the prophet a true dream by the will of allah you

[12:32]shall enter al-masjid al-haram in a state of security and you will

[12:39]shave your heads doing your hajj now the prophet saw this before

[12:45]hadabia year 6 when did the dream become true not that year

[12:50]the muslims were blocked from entering mecca that year was a test

[12:53]for them the following here was the conquest of mecca so we

[12:58]find that the quran does talk about dreams there is a reality

[13:03]to dreams i can't just dismiss dreams and say no it's all

[13:05]nonsense it's just some images that the mind creates there is no

[13:11]significance to it that claim defies the holy quran different people saw

[13:16]different dreams in the holy quran some of them were prophets some

[13:19]of them were not prophets like the king of egypt he was

[13:24]not a prophet those two prison companions of prophet yusuf alayhi salam

[13:28]they weren't prophets so the quran talks about dreams and dreams having

[13:34]an impact so in our discussion tonight let's see what is the

[13:38]significance of dreams based on the teachings of bait there are thousands

[13:45]of theories out there about dreams we can spend the whole night

[13:48]discussing all these theories but uh but the intent tonight is to

[13:53]discuss dreams from the school of ah what have the prophets and

[14:01]the imams of albeit what have they said about dreams and how

[14:06]can we benefit from that the first point i'd like to share

[14:11]with you about dreams from the words of ahmed bait from the

[14:14]teachings of the prophet sallallahu alaihi and the imams bait peace be

[14:20]upon them is that we have three types of dreams in one

[14:27]hadith the prophet salallahu states there are three types of dreams one

[14:32]dream is the true dream pure dream that reflects reality and it's

[14:41]a good news from allah an annoyance from iblis the devil or

[14:56]the shaytan or the jinns they also interfere with our dreams we'll

[15:00]talk about that in detail and the third one the prophet says

[15:09]basically your psychological state some of the dreams that we see it's

[15:15]not an annoyance from shaytan or a message from god it's it

[15:20]has to do with your state sometimes you're stressed sometimes something's on

[15:25]your mind before you sleep when something is on your mind before

[15:28]you sleep you can end up dreaming about it so the prophet

[15:33]says those things that are on your mind sometimes they just come

[15:37]to your dream it doesn't mean that they have any significance it's

[15:43]just reflecting your psychological state or sometimes it could reflect the diet

[15:48]that you have the food that you've eaten what you eat especially

[15:54]late at night can determine what kind of dreams that you had

[15:58]sometimes if you see a very complicated dreams and you're lost and

[16:02]it doesn't make sense i don't know maybe you've had lucia the

[16:06]night before god knows or something else it's very possible so the

[16:14]prophet says there are three types of dreams the one that's from

[16:16]allah a message from him the one that's an interference from shaytan

[16:21]to annoy you and the third one is just reflecting your state

[16:27]now how do we dream from an islamic perspective i know we

[16:32]talked about the science of it a little bit and scientists are

[16:37]trying to see what happens to the brain the rem mode but

[16:41]what happens to the spirit or the soul when we are dreaming

[16:47]when you dream a dimension of your soul ascends yes when you're

[16:58]dreaming part of your rule your soul leaves the body that is

[17:03]why the quran refers to sleeping as the minor death do you

[17:10]know every time you fall asleep you are experiencing a form of

[17:19]death what does allah say in the holy quran allah takes the

[17:29]souls at the time of death and when your time is not

[17:36]up allah has not decreed that you're going to die allah takes

[17:39]your soul during sleep in islam sleeping is a minor type of

[17:48]death because your human soul not your vegetative soul that keeps your

[17:52]heart and brain alive your human soul separates from your body and

[17:58]one hadith states that when you sleep your soul rises and ascends

[18:03]it's still connected to your body but it actually comes out of

[18:08]your body it ascends so when we sleep the soul actually leaves

[18:16]the body and the soul begins to see images the imam ali

[18:21]salaam states if your soul manages to go above in the melakute

[18:26]the dominion of god pure places in the universe where angels congregate

[18:33]that is a true vision and dream that you have the angels

[18:39]depict true images for you your soul sees those images and that

[18:44]is a true dream if your soul manages to go up there

[18:49]these are called but sometimes the soul does not make it up

[18:57]there the prophet says in one hadith if your soul stays on

[19:04]earth it goes to a place where the shayat lean are active

[19:07]the devils are active and they create images for the soul these

[19:14]images are false disturbing images these images can be nightmares can be

[19:23]something that just disturbs you ruins your mood they are false dreams

[19:28]that don't have a true interpretation who creates these false images for

[19:35]the soul the shayat lean the devils so when we look at

[19:41]the words of al-bait they have dissected how the world of dreams

[19:46]work and what your soul sees when it ascends or when it

[19:52]stays here on earth when allah sends you a message or when

[19:54]it could be just an annoyance from shaytan now when we further

[20:00]examine the words of bait and the prophet we find that dreams

[20:06]do serve a very important purpose the prophet says in one hadith

[20:11]that sometimes if allah sees you sinning on a wrong path allah

[20:20]might send you a message in your dream he'll allow you to

[20:25]see a dream that could be scary a little bit frightening so

[20:30]you would stop from sinning that's a message that allah or it

[20:37]could be an encouragement to do good deeds sometimes that is the

[20:44]case we have a number of narrations that discuss this allah wants

[20:50]to save you so he makes you see a dream that's disturbing

[20:54]so you stop and reflect am i doing this right who am

[21:00]i oppressing these constant sins that i am committing sometimes it's a

[21:06]wake-up call some people you talk to them you show them the

[21:10]proofs they don't care but if they have a personal dream it

[21:14]might affect them it might motivate them to do good so this

[21:19]is one purpose that some dreams serve that it could be a

[21:26]message from allah so anytime you see a disturbing dream my dear

[21:29]brothers and sisters ask yourself am i insisting on a sin am

[21:35]i oppressing someone am i doing something wrong think about it evaluate

[21:42]your life yes brother we have one soul meaning the human soul

[21:50]is one soul we have different parts of the nephs but the

[21:54]soul is one soul when you sleep that human soul leaves the

[22:00]body that's what happens during the world of dreams that's why the

[22:03]quran considers it a type of death because the soul is actually

[22:06]separating from the body yes brother um lucid dreams and what do

[22:14]you mean by lucid dreams very vivid dreams like you're aware that

[22:21]you're in your dream sometimes you may have a dream and you're

[22:24]aware that you're in the dream you're in a lucid dream so

[22:29]sometimes you do have that awareness where you know i'm dreaming right

[22:34]now i'm in the world of dreams yes lucid dreams do exist

[22:37]and sometimes your soul is in a very empowered state and you're

[22:43]seeing those images and when you see those images you consciously are

[22:47]even aware of it you can even make decisions in some dreams

[22:52]yes that also reflects your mental and psychological state we do have

[22:57]lucid dreams yes brother what about sleep paralysis sleep paralysis okay probably

[23:03]many of you have experienced this you're sleeping suddenly you feel paralyzed

[23:07]you can't move something's suffocating you you can't even talk you can't

[23:10]shout you feel like you're dying right scientifically scientists have some sort

[23:20]of explanation on what sleep paralysis is and usually they tell you

[23:23]that if you go through a lot of stress and you're psychologically

[23:30]disturbed that does happen sometimes so they just think it's something that's

[23:34]normal that affects some people due to excessive stress from a religious

[23:39]perspective some scholars believe that's the interference with jinn sometimes it could

[23:46]be some demons some devil some jinn that have that negative influence

[23:49]and this is what causes you to experience sleep paralysis so there

[23:55]are some theories out there but it could possibly be the interference

[24:00]of jinn yes can you see the shaytan the hadith tells us

[24:10]that you can see images that are created by shaytan these are

[24:14]false dreams now seeing the shaytan in his actual form very unlikely

[24:22]that someone will see that but the shaytan does have some sort

[24:26]of interference yes so now let's go back to the hadith of

[24:28]the prophet and the imam's peace be upon them so the soul

[24:33]ascends if it makes it to the higher realms the dominion of

[24:38]god you see true images if it doesn't it goes to the

[24:42]realm where the devils are active you see false images and that's

[24:46]why we have true dreams that do have a significance and sometimes

[24:51]we have dreams that don't really have any valid significance now are

[24:57]there special times that you're more likely to see true dreams does

[25:06]anyone have an idea when is that time that if you have

[25:12]a dream in you're more likely to see a true dream yes

[25:18]two weeks phase of the moon like there's more than so maybe

[25:25]when it's not scorpio it might have like a little but we're

[25:29]talking about every night right every night or every day what time

[25:32]of the night it's the prime time for true dreams yes sister

[25:38]yes this is called the time of sahar the sahar is the

[25:44]last third of the night we have a number of narrations in

[25:48]hadith that tell us having a dream during that time while you're

[25:53]in the state of tahara impurity you did with and you did

[25:58]the remembrance of allah you mentioned the name of allah subhanahu wa

[26:01]ta'ala that increases the chances of having a true dream so the

[26:07]time of sahar in itself is a time in which you're more

[26:12]likely to see a true dream this has been mentioned in our

[26:17]hadith other times of the day you know it's less likely it's

[26:21]still possible but it is still less likely so being on tahara

[26:25]being on purity mentioning the name of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala having

[26:30]a dream during that last third of the night these all increase

[26:35]the chances of having a meaningful dream a true dream one with

[26:41]a good message for you one that calms your heart that invites

[26:47]you to even do acts of goodness that all increases during this

[26:51]time so allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does send messages to some people

[26:57]by the way there was a man by the name of al-hasan

[27:01]ibn abdullah at the time of al-imam al-qaeda he used to see

[27:07]a lot of dreams you know encouraging him to do good to

[27:11]follow the the good path he used to have some people just

[27:16]have a tendency to see a lot of dreams right allah subhanahu

[27:19]wa ta'ala guides him to the true path through al-imam al-qaeda after

[27:26]he was guided he stopped seeing dreams that puzzled him why i

[27:33]used to see a lot of dreams before and i could remember

[27:35]them but now i don't see that many dreams what's happening so

[27:40]one day this man sees al-imam assad salaam in his dream the

[27:44]father of imam al-kaaba he tells them ever since allah guided me

[27:50]through your son al-imam al-qaeda i kind of stopped seeing dreams why

[27:53]is that the case the imam alayhim told him when you were

[27:57]on that other path allah was sending you messages to give you

[28:03]a wake-up call to believe now that you have found the true

[28:10]path and the proper belief system there is no need for you

[28:16]to see any more vivid dreams because allah sent you the message

[28:22]now you are guided there is no reason for you now to

[28:25]see those dreams so we have many narrations my dear brothers and

[28:30]sisters that sometimes allah subhanahu ta'ala does send us a message through

[28:38]dreams now here's a fundamental point i need to discuss with you

[28:42]from an islamic perspective dreams don't have any binding legitimacy on you

[28:54]as we call it in arabic some people take dreams as revelation

[29:00]from god i have a mission i need to complete it that's

[29:05]not how it works allah can send you messages he can give

[29:08]you a wake-up call if you're doing something wrong you're oppressing someone

[29:12]allah might make you see a frightening dream for you to stop

[29:17]sure we acknowledge that but for you to take a dream as

[29:20]revelation i have a special you know mission from the prophet i

[29:27]saw one of the imams i have a mission how do you

[29:32]know that this dream is truly from allah sometimes we don't know

[29:35]you can't attribute something to allah just because you saw it in

[29:42]your dream many people do that by the way i hear someone

[29:45]in the community suddenly he starts attacking another person and accusing him

[29:49]and doubting him and being suspicious of him and then you talk

[29:54]to him you tell him what's going on here what did you

[29:56]see from this person say it i had a terrible dream about

[30:01]that person i need to expose him no no you can't do

[30:03]that you can't go exposing people and accusing them well because you

[30:08]saw some dream how do you know maybe shaytan created those images

[30:13]for you how do you know that this is a true dream

[30:16]for you to act upon it acting upon baseless dreams is an

[30:24]act of sin in the eyes of allah you can accuse people

[30:28]or doubt them because of a dream that you have when you

[30:32]see a dream and someone is sending you a message keep these

[30:36]points in mind some people tell me say it i saw my

[30:41]home grandfather may allah bless his soul he told me to do

[30:43]something does that mean that this is a message for from him

[30:48]to me analyze what the message is if your grandfather is telling

[30:52]you to do something good that the quran and the sunnah promote

[30:56]give sadaqa help your parents study well do something good sure take

[31:02]that as a sign that your grandfather is encouraging you to be

[31:07]good so if your grandfather what he's telling you in your dream

[31:10]is in line with sharia it's in line with the quran it's

[31:15]in line with the sunnah take that as a sign no problem

[31:17]act upon it go do that sadaka help the poor help your

[31:22]parents whatever the message is as long as it's in line with

[31:24]quran and sharia but let's say your grandfather tells you something that's

[31:33]baseless in sharia he tells you stay away from that cousin bad

[31:38]influence now if rationally you know that that cousin is bad influence

[31:46]that cousin is a drug addict he invites you to sins okay

[31:52]take that as a message that's in line with sharia you know

[31:55]don't get too close to a friend who's going to distract you

[32:00]from god but if your cousin seems to be a decent person

[32:03]and then because of this dream you want to now doubt your

[32:09]cousin bring your cousin down accuse your cousin make accusations no that's

[32:15]not acceptable in the eyes of allah that's not proof just because

[32:20]you had a dream someone told you that person is a bad

[32:22]person you can't assume that person is that is a bad person

[32:25]maybe this image that you had in your dream is a false

[32:30]dream how do you know that this is a sign from allah

[32:34]so that's what we mean when we say that you must always

[32:40]calibrate the dream engage it and compare it to sharia anything that's

[32:45]in line with the quran and the teachings of the debate accept

[32:48]it take that as a message anything that's not in line with

[32:55]sharia and it's just baseless don't accept it you do not act

[33:00]upon it acting upon it is a sin because you're acting upon

[33:05]something without el without knowledge and the quran forbids us from doing

[33:11]that so that's another aspect of dreams now we come to dream

[33:17]interpretation we know that dreams have meanings as the quran tells us

[33:20]you know the dream of that king of egypt and the seven

[33:24]cows it had a meaning who knows these meanings is there a

[33:30]science behind it that anyone can learn as some state or is

[33:37]it actually revelation from god inspiration from god scholars have two opinions

[33:43]some of them state that the only way for you to know

[33:47]the meaning of a dream is to be inspired by allah now

[33:50]the prophets they received official revelation so they know the meanings of

[33:56]dreams maybe some very pious individuals they receive that inspiration from god

[34:00]there is no science behind it that you can actually learn go

[34:04]read a book and be an expert in dream interpretation that's one

[34:08]theory yes brother he will be somewhere like a high point i

[34:18]like that like true dream and like can this change in future

[34:23]because of your choices or like um at the end you will

[34:26]be at on that point so if you see something about the

[34:32]future in your dream and then can that change let's say you

[34:38]see something about the future first of all how do you know

[34:40]that this is actually the future you don't know that it's possible

[34:46]so you don't know that this is a true dream that's telling

[34:51]you about something from the future for you to say well the

[34:53]future changed so that's not something that we should burden ourselves with

[34:57]because we don't know what the future holds maybe the dream turns

[35:01]out to be true maybe it doesn't do what you have to

[35:06]do fulfill your islamic obligations before allah don't over burden yourself with

[35:11]a dream like that so when it comes to dream interpretation some

[35:15]scholars believe it's by divine inspiration allah inspires as prophets maybe some

[35:20]righteous individuals they know the meanings of dreams some say there's a

[35:25]science behind it many variables you need to know to be able

[35:33]to interpret a dream not anybody could do that and that science

[35:36]you also need to take it from a trusted source like a

[35:42]prophet so yes you could learn that science but who has access

[35:44]to that science right now it is claimed famously that there was

[35:51]a man who was an expert in dream interpretation there is even

[35:55]a book that's attributed to him you probably know his name who

[35:58]eben right ibn siri lived you know at the time of alibaba

[36:05][Music] in that era so he came after the prophet alaihi he

[36:13]was known you know and if you read his biography he was

[36:16]known to be pious to be an expert in dream interpretation today

[36:21]there is a book called tafsir the interpretation of dreams according to

[36:28]ibn siri is this a legitimate book that we can rely on

[36:33]number one there is no evidence that eben syrian published or wrote

[36:39]this book there's no evidence it's attributed to him there is no

[36:44]historical evidence that he actually wrote this book so that's why we

[36:49]cannot say that he wrote this book there is no evidence for

[36:52]that number two let's say he did what's his source was it

[36:59]divine inspiration did he learn it from the companions from one of

[37:05]the imams we don't know that's why our scholars state don't take

[37:10]his book as something that's fixed and that it will give you

[37:16]dream interpretation no that's not the case some of what he says

[37:22]could be true he may have had some expertise with dream interpretation

[37:26]but not necessarily by the way it has been said that one

[37:32]day a man went to ibn ceiling he told him i had

[37:37]a dream and this was during the winter he says i had

[37:41]a dream that i saw in my house there is a fire

[37:49]in one corner what does that mean ibn syrian told him that

[37:55]corner in your house go dig it you will find a treasure

[37:58]so he goes and he digs that corner where he saw the

[38:02]fire in his dream and behold there was a treasure there so

[38:05]he thought he mastered the science right six months later it was

[38:12]in the summer he had the same dream but this time he

[38:14]saw the fire in a different corner so he was like this

[38:19]time let me ditch up in ceiling i got the idea of

[38:21]how this thing works so he goes to that corner and he

[38:26]digs and what does he see instead of a treasure this time

[38:32]he sees a snake a serpent that was about to kill him

[38:34]and bite him so he freaks out he goes and he meets

[38:40]him siri he tells him i've been seeing i'm puzzled remember that

[38:45]dream that i told you about i did find the treasure i

[38:48]saw the same dream and i went and i dug that corner

[38:54]but this time there was danger there how does that work he

[38:58]told him look it's not your specialty it's not your area of

[39:04]expertise you should not go and interpret your own dreams you don't

[39:06]know how this works he tells him what's the difference i saw

[39:09]the same dream he told him i'll tell you one difference see

[39:13]there are many variables not everyone knows these variables he told him

[39:18]when you saw that dream the fire in that corner it was

[39:23]in the winter fire in the winter is good you need heat

[39:27]during the winter it indicates benefit but in the summer when it's

[39:34]very hot fire indicates danger had you asked me i would have

[39:36]told you avoid digging that corner you could get stuck by something

[39:40]so this has been attributed to ibn siri and there's a famous

[39:45]story about him god knows if it's true or not about how

[39:49]he acquired this knowledge does anyone know what he did and supposedly

[39:55]allah gave him the knowledge of dream interpretation does anyone have an

[40:03]idea so the story that goes with ibn sirin is that one

[40:06]day a woman chases him a very beautiful attractive woman runs after

[40:10]him so he's running from her he goes into his house into

[40:16]his room but she managed to enter and intrude into his house

[40:19]there was no one in the house he was single and she

[40:24]was inviting him to indecency now he feared allah what am i

[40:29]going to do on the one hand she's chasing him on the

[40:32]one hand he's single and he's tempted and she's a very attractive

[40:39]woman so basically the story goes he goes into the bathroom of

[40:45]his house and basically he contaminates himself let's just put it at

[40:51]that and then he came out when she saw him she got

[40:53]so disgusted she just left the house and he when he was

[40:58]asked about this he says the only thing that came to my

[41:03]mind to avoid this haram act was to do that it has

[41:05]been narrated in his biography that after this incident because he was

[41:09]willing to protect himself from haram by doing this allah gave him

[41:14]you know the knowledge of dream interpretation is this really a true

[41:20]story did that happen we don't know we don't have like a

[41:22]solid historical way to verify this but this has been mentioned in

[41:27]his biography so when it comes to dream interpretation most people don't

[41:33]know dream interpretation and some people think that if you are a

[41:36]scholar you've studied in a seminary you have to know how the

[41:41]world of dreams work no that's not the case i will tell

[41:42]you most scholars don't have access to dream interpretation this is not

[41:47]something we study in the seminary therefore when it comes to having

[41:56]a dream what's my recommendation and if you're wondering what the meaning

[42:03]is i will share with you the hadith from the prophet sallallahu

[42:08]alaihi the prophet says if you have a good dream that clearly

[42:12]indicates something is good going to happen for you something positive the

[42:18]prophet says don't share it with anyone there are people who might

[42:23]be jealous this is exactly what prophet yaqub said to his son

[42:29]yusuf don't tell your brothers about this dream they will be jealous

[42:33]don't share with your dream your dream with anyone if it's a

[42:38]good dream only share it if you really want to share it

[42:40]with someone whom you trust who's a man who wishes you well

[42:45]if you're guaranteed this person wishes you well fine share that dream

[42:51]with them if it's a bad dream negative dream something disturbing happened

[42:55]in your dream what's the recommendation from the prophet do not tell

[43:01]anyone why we have a number of hadiths that states the way

[43:12]you interpret a dream impacts the outcome of the dream the way

[43:17]you give it the interpretation if you say oh something bad is

[43:22]going to happen somebody's going to die in your family that could

[43:26]actually bring about something back to your family don't share a bad

[43:31]dream with anyone if you see a bad dream the prophet teaches

[43:37]us what to do fall into sujud number one we have this

[43:49]in the hadith say he is allah he has no partner number

[43:54]three pay sadaqa number four give a good meaning to your dream

[44:01]even if the dreams looks very disturbing say inshallah it's good inshallah

[44:07]it's more money more pleasure more family blessings more health for me

[44:13]this believe me has an impact according to our hadiths on the

[44:18]outcome of the dreams so always give it a good interpretation give

[44:23]it a good interpretation that's really important be positive with your dreams

[44:30]be even creative sometimes you may have a dream let that dream

[44:36]inspire you to search more and learn more how many of you

[44:43]know the german scientist chemist in the 19th century august kikule who

[44:51]has heard of him does anyone here know agus kikule the german

[44:58]chemist the german chemist he discovered that the molecular structure of benzene

[45:06]is ringed not straight scientists at the time they thought that all

[45:13]molecules just had a straight shape he is the one who discovered

[45:18]that some molecules like benzene they actually have a ringed shape to

[45:25]them you know the one that looks like the dna you know

[45:28]how he discovered that he was asked how did you discover this

[45:30]how did you know that this would be the shape he said

[45:35]i had a dream when i was sleeping that a serpent was

[45:40]was biting its tail when i woke up this idea sparked in

[45:47]my mind that the structure could be ringed and i verified it

[45:50]it turned out that this is the case so sometimes dreams can

[45:55]have these messages for you the point is take it positively even

[45:58]if you see a bad dream give it a good interpretation don't

[46:01]share it with anyone pay sadaqa this is really effective now another

[46:11]very important point my dear brothers and sisters if you see the

[46:16]prophet or one of the imams in your dream does that mean

[46:18]you've really seen them what are your thoughts here who says yes

[46:27]if you see the prophet in your dream you saw rasulullah in

[46:30]your dream who thinks that yeah you had a dream the prophet

[46:36]told you something is that really the prophet so you said yes

[46:40]what's your um line of thinking why is that the prophet how

[46:46]do you know that's the prophet okay you're referring to asahi hadith

[46:55]that we have in which the prophet says the one who sees

[47:02]us the bait has seen us because the shaitan cannot take our

[47:07]form so we accept the hadith but let's critically analyze the meaning

[47:11]of it if you see in your dream someone tells you in

[47:15]your dream i'm imam ali or you've known the dream that this

[47:19]is the prophet we know the shaitan cannot take the form of

[47:22]the prophet but how do you know that this is what the

[47:26]prophet looked like a continuation of it but it says that nothing

[47:33]like you can't falsify that dream because i don't know why but

[47:41]yeah you cannot falsify them you cannot take their form falsely scholars

[47:48]have said generally this hadith applies to the one who saw rasulallah

[47:55]in his life or he saw one of the imams he knows

[47:59]how they look then in his dream he sees them then it's

[48:03]them because the shaytan can't take their form it's a true image

[48:08]of them but we haven't seen the prophet or one of the

[48:11]imams we don't know how they look like to begin with therefore

[48:15]if we see an image and in our dream we're under the

[48:20]impression that this is the imam i don't know this is actually

[48:22]the imam for me to say that the shaitan cannot take on

[48:26]his image that's the concern here because of what you said but

[48:37]they know that that might be their persona it could be i'm

[48:40]not dismissing it it could be the prophet or the imams but

[48:42]can you say with certainty the prophet sent me this message no

[48:49]you cannot attribute that attribute that to the prophet because you don't

[48:53]know if this is actually the prophet you never saw the prophet

[48:56]for you to know his image for you to say shaytaan can't

[49:00]take on his form i saw the image of the prophet so

[49:02]most scholars have said this only applies to people who saw the

[49:07]image of the prophet at the time or one of the imams

[49:10]the shaytan cannot take their form so if you see someone and

[49:12]you think it's the prophet or the imams again don't attribute something

[49:18]to them say it's possible that this was them and examine the

[49:21]message if it's in line with sharia take it act upon it

[49:25]if it's fishy unusual don't act upon it yes and i said

[49:58]in my dream i think that's what i but i did not

[50:05]see his face i just see his back and like on the

[50:08]side it's possible it's possible that you had seen the imam and

[50:11]was giving you some blessings but can you say with certainty i

[50:16]saw imam al-hussein no we cannot say that with certainty it's definitely

[50:21]possible but we can't attribute that to them that's the point i

[50:25]would like to get across here so yes sister we recognize there's

[50:29]a hadith from the prophet about this and it's a valid hadith

[50:31]but what is the meaning of it so that's another aspect of

[50:37]dreams any other questions that you have yes brother in the back

[50:41]um what does it mean okay does it mean anything if you

[50:54]don't dream that night well if you remember when we started the

[50:57]discussion and we mentioned some statistics scientifically scientists say you dream every

[51:02]time you sleep you do dream that's confirmed on average two hours

[51:07]a night on average three to six dreams so when you wake

[51:11]up and you feel like you didn't have any dreams you did

[51:17]have dreams that night you just don't remember them so if you

[51:20]don't remember the dreams it doesn't mean that you know there's there's

[51:22]no particular significance to that don't consider that as a bad sign

[51:27]or anything uh yes brother what about deja vus okay tell us

[51:35]what exactly do you mean by deja vus uh when something happens

[51:42]okay so when something happens you recall that you've seen this scene

[51:49]before now you've seen it in your dream or you don't know

[51:51]you don't know okay so what is our understanding of deja vus

[51:57]sometimes something will happen a moment will pass in front of you

[52:03]like i've seen this moment before is there any significance to that

[52:07]there are several theories out there one theory that some have said

[52:11]the brain is just tricking you into thinking you've seen this there

[52:15]is no significance to it some have said that the mind is

[52:19]very powerful sometimes the brain can create images you know if you

[52:26]study what hallucination does to the mind you'd be shocked how the

[52:31]brain sometimes just creates images where the person really thinks he's hearing

[52:37]something he's not lying he's not lost his mind he he actually

[52:40]hears something but there's nothing there the brain tricks him into thinking

[52:44]that so one theory is that it has no significance the mind

[52:49]is just tricking you for some reason that you've seen this another

[52:54]theory another theory is that you've seen this in one of your

[53:00]dreams you've had a dream which was a reflection of reality and

[53:03]now you see it so somewhere in your subconscious mind that is

[53:07]stored you make the connection so it's a dream that you've seen

[53:10]there's another theory again you know there's no evidence for that third

[53:13]theory that some of these images happened in a previous world let's

[53:19]call it the world of particles some events happen there and maybe

[53:24]this scene that you saw here happened there there is no evidence

[53:28]for any of these theories like solid evidence but these are some

[53:31]theories out there about a deja vu yes any other questions yes

[53:36]brother was there any explanation for why if you interpret a bad

[53:40]dream in a bad way that it may cause such bad things

[53:44]to happen okay is there an explanation why if you give a

[53:47]bad interpretation to a dream something bad could happen my understanding is

[53:55]that when you have a dream the dream does have some impact

[53:59]on your life it does have some significance if you give it

[54:07]a bad interpretation allah will try you by looking at things negatively

[54:14]instead of being optimistic you became pessimistic and you thought something bad

[54:21]was going to happen allah says let me try you now that

[54:24]you have a pessimistic outlook i will try you it's a test

[54:28]so allah may allow for interference with the jinn for instance or

[54:32]some sort of negative energy or the evil eye which we'll examine

[54:36]next week inshallah right that could be one explanation for it that's

[54:40]why always be hopeful and say no everything is in the hands

[54:47]of allah i'm not going to let one dream decide my outcome

[54:49]ruin my mood and you know give me a pessimistic outlook on

[54:56]the future be positive that could be one reason behind it uh

[54:59]yes sister in the back regarding the speech yes yes how can

[55:11]you avoid nightmares bad dreams or even sleep paralysis there's a way

[55:17]to avoid it and this has been effective because it's from the

[55:23]alien bait we trusted i've shared it with brothers and sisters that

[55:26]same night the nightmare stopped some of them may even be here

[55:31]in this room one sister told me that she has a friend

[55:33]her son sees nightmares every single night they've taken him to the

[55:39]doctor they don't know what's going on i sent her these duas

[55:43]and what you do before sleeping next day she told me say

[55:49]it last night the nightmare stopped so i will share that with

[55:55]you you can you feel free to record it first of all

[55:58]do a loop before you sleep when you do the before you

[56:04]sleep you're in a state of purity and you're in a state

[56:10]of ibadah if you do ulu and you sleep allah will consider

[56:12]you worshiping him the entire night look at allah why miss out

[56:18]on this opportunity that's number one number two as you're trying to

[56:24]fall asleep sleep on your right side this is mustahab this is

[56:30]recommended on your right side try to fall asleep on your left

[56:36]side it's makru we have a number of narrations why we don't

[56:40]know is there some scientific basis behind it some unseen basis we

[56:44]don't know but it's mustahab as you're trying to fall asleep try

[56:47]to be on your right side this helps number three read surah

[56:53]till falat and surat annas before you fall asleep this gives you

[56:57]protection from allah subhanahu wa ta'ala number four recite which is remembering

[57:05]allah 34 times allahu akbar 33 times alhamdulillah 33 times subhanallah say

[57:10]that before you sleep number five read this dua before you fall

[57:17]asleep while i'm sleeping and i'm awake and the last and then

[58:01]blow to your right side three times we have a hadith about

[58:07]this i don't know exactly what the significance is behind it but

[58:12]given that it's from the albeit we trust them and i have

[58:16]shared this with a number of brothers and sisters who struggled with

[58:19]nightmares sleep paralysis and every one of them confirmed to me that

[58:24]this helped either it stopped it the first night or it significantly

[58:29]reduced it so that is the recommendation that i have for someone

[58:33]who may experience with very vivid disturbing dreams nightmares or even sleep

[58:38]paralysis uh yes brother you have too many thoughts before you sleep

[58:52]and it prevents you from falling asleep that happens sometimes as you're

[58:58]trying to fall asleep you get bombarded with all these thoughts you

[59:00]go through your day you worry about the future and that you

[59:05]know makes it difficult for you to fall asleep who has an

[59:11]effective strategy that they've used before in order to fall asleep yes

[59:16]sister four times before you sleep recite i told corsi and what's

[59:24]the benefit that you found you can quickly fall asleep and you

[59:40]can false asleep easily by reciting i told corsi four times okay

[59:43]that's one strategy and yes brother what what's the strategy that you

[59:49]could share with us together and instead of thinking about it you

[59:57]should write it down if you can put those so right before

[60:02]you sleep put those thoughts on paper that will help you avoid

[60:07]those thoughts and sleep okay that's one effective strategy um any other

[60:14]yes pray as before you go to bed that helps with clearing

[60:20]your mind and falling asleep faster okay that's another strategy any other

[60:26]strategy yes brother until you fall asleep that's also helpful yes brother

[60:42]listening to a podcast okay listen to something beneficial sometimes that helps

[60:48]you fall asleep as well yes you always read then you fall

[60:59]asleep reading helps by the way you learn something and because you're

[61:02]engaging the brain and the mind in a productive way i guess

[61:07]you tire the brain so you feel like sleeping my grandfather may

[61:13]allah prolong his life in karbara he says my sleeping pill is

[61:17]my book when i want to he's he's reading by the way

[61:19]day and night every day he reads for a good 10 hours

[61:22]even though he's at age 93 right now he reads at least

[61:26]10 hours a day at least that's what i've seen from him

[61:29]so at night when he wants to fall asleep he gets out

[61:32]the book and he has a particular posture and that's the sleeping

[61:37]pill for him so yes that is a very effective strategy uh

[61:39]yes sister melatonin okay melatonin i know you know there is a

[61:48]growing interest in it a lot of people are using it for

[61:52]kids for adults i'm not an expert to comment on it how

[61:55]effective is it does it have side effects i've heard that it's

[62:00]relatively safe so you know if you've trying if you've tried all

[62:02]these techniques you still can't fall asleep maybe melatonin can be definitely

[62:06]a good sleeping aid yes any final thoughts questions about dreams yes

[62:13]brother is it possible for us to dream about those who have

[62:19]passed away yes it is possible to have dreams about those who

[62:24]have passed away again we have two types of dreams true dreams

[62:29]and false dreams if it's a true dream that means your soul

[62:34]interacted with the soul of the deceased that is possible definitely yes

[62:45]if it's a true dream yes see it's not that they came

[62:50]to your dream because remember from an islamic perspective when you sleep

[62:53]the soul leaves so your soul goes out there somewhere in the

[62:58]universe and they meet the deceased there that is possible now can

[63:03]you know a hundred percent sure whether that happened not really sometimes

[63:08]some people may know but for a lot of people they may

[63:09]not know so again look at the analyze the dream if they're

[63:15]sending you a positive image that's in line with sharia i take

[63:20]it yes brother how do we know if a dream is real

[63:24]so we have been discussing that right honestly in one sentence you

[63:30]don't know you can sometimes feel confident that this is probably a

[63:35]true dream if you had it at the time of sahar before

[63:39]dawn you were on the state of taharah you remembered the name

[63:42]of allah that dream sent you a message that's in line with

[63:45]quran and hadith you can say okay inshallah it's a true dream

[63:49]let me act upon it but for you to know 100 we

[63:54]we don't have a reliable verifiable way to know that one hadith

[64:00]he states if all dreams were true everyone would be prophets that's

[64:06]it every night you see these images and they're all true people

[64:08]will say i don't need quran i don't need hadith i don't

[64:13]need prophets i see everything out there but allah is trying you

[64:16]there's a process and the imam says if all dreams were false

[64:20]then there would be no purpose to dreams some dreams are true

[64:24]some dreams are not true sometimes it's difficult to decipher that but

[64:30]we shared with you some steps on how to tackle that my

[64:35]dear brothers and sisters i don't want to hold you for longer

[64:37]thank you so much may allah bless you we appreciate your participation

[64:45]may allah shower you all with his blessings and protect you and

[64:49]your families [Music]
