Seeing Prophet (sal) in Dream

The muslims who have not seen the prophet (sal) show curiosity in knowing, how will his appearance be. This is quite natural.

 Those with less knowledge of Islam think that the sign of one becoming a saint is to see the prophet (sal) in dream.

 Taking this an advantage a few forgers deceive people saying that they have seen the prophet (sal) in dream. This they do to obtain from the people, the degree of a saint.

Pusire wrote 'Burdah', the theme of which is contrary to that of the Quran and the Hadith. In his poem, he has stated that the prophet (sal) appeared in his dream and inspired him the next lines of the verse when he got sturck while writing. we see that this fabricated poem 'Burdah' has been made sacred. They have made us believe that the recitation of this poem will help us in getting rid of the diseases and in fulfilling our desires. The false statement that the prophet (sal) himself has inspired a few lines of the verse is the only reason for this we also see, how admired the poet pusiri is while he has no knowledge of Islam.

'The seerapuranam' is nothing but the result of the exaggerated and the invented stories of Burdah exploiting the name of the prophet(sal) those having even a little knowledge of the quran and the hadith will make out that the seerapuranam is nothing but a woven story.

Those with less knowledge of Islam exaggerate that the prophet (sal) appeared in the dream of Omar poet. They have even accepted this legend as the prophet's inspiration.

 There are a few forgers who mislead people in the name of 'mureed'. Even these forgers trap people only by saying that they have seen the prophet (sal) in their dream.

  Therefore, it is essential for us to know whether we can see the prophet (sal) in dream.

  "whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen me for Stan can not impersonate me."  Narrator:abu Huraira Buhari:

 It is only based on this hadith that a few argue that they can see the prophet (sal) in dream.

 They heard the prophet saying, "Whoever sees me in a dream will see me in his wakefulness."

This hadith says if anyone during the life-time of the prophet (sal) sees him in his dream, then surely he will get an opportunity to see him directly.

Today if anyone says that he has seen the prophet (sal) in his dream, then surely he must see him directly in his wakefulness. If he has not seen him face to face, it is certain then he has not seen him in his dream too.

Therefore after the life time of the prophet (sal)  no person or saint can see him in his dream.

The second cited hadith does not give room to their lie.

A few may have a doubt at this juncture. It's our duty to elucidate it.

Lets take for instance, one appears in one's dream and says, "I am the prophet Mohammed" here we may doubt, 'why can not the people consider him as prophet (sal) himself, when the Hadith assures that the Sata will not impersonate the prophet (sal).

Even if a person sees someone in his dream saying' I am the prophet (sal)', he is not actually the prophet (sal). It should be understood that the Satan has used his name. That hadith only assures that the Saten will not impersonate the prophet (sal). But it does not say that the satan will not take his own form and say that he is only the prophet (sal).

 The prophet (sal) has said that the Satan will not impersonate him. If one wants to decide whether the person who appeared in his dream was the prophet (sal) or not, he must have seen the prophet (sal) face to face in reality.

 In what form he saw face to face, the same form just have appeared in his dream, only then he could recognize him as the prophet (sal) or not.

One who has not seen the appearance of the prophet (sal) can not recognize it at all. The Satan is only prevented from impersonating the prophet (sal) but in no hadith it is said, that he will not appear in any other form and say he is the prophet.

 After the life time of the prophet (sal) if it is said, 'such and such pious man or such and saint has seen the prophet (sal) in his dream then we should understand that it is a purely fabricated story or in other words, the Satan has deceived him using the name of the prophet(sal).
