Dreams of the pious and their application to Islamic Shariah

The official and correct version of Shaykhul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Yusuf Motala (HA)'s dream as narrated by Shaykhul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Abdur Raheem Limbada (HA) on his facebook page:

After Dhikr majlis last night, Hazrat gave some priceless advice to the congregation.

It's been spread around like wildfire, which shows hazrat's maqbooliyat in the eyes of the public.

I would like to quote a few of hazrat's beautiful words and correct some mistakes in narrating.

Hazrat started with the a dream he had seen 3 months ago that he was reciting Surah al Haaqqah and Surah mursalaat.

(The first mentions the azaab that descended upon zaalimeen like people of Aad, thamud and Firawn, it also opens up the the signs of qiyamah and the day of qiyamah.

The second is about signs of qiyaamah, and the warnings for the deniers, also the torment they will face on that day, and in jahannam)

Hazrat said "Since then, scary dreams have increased and they have been seen at an unprecedented level. Nearly a dozen people have reported dreams of dajjal.

Someone saw that the sun got closer to the earth and so did the moon. And then they both collided.

Someone saw the sun rising from the west. Someone saw Yajooj Majooj have come out.

Someone saw that the second trumpet has been blown and Allah is judging between people.

Someone saw that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam had the names of mu'mineen on his right side and the names of hypocrites on his left side.

Also, someone saw that dajjal has appeared and people went to the airport and all flights were going to Madina shareef. (May Allah take us there).

Hazrat said I phoned mawlana Salman Saheb in Saharanpur to check and they also got reports of this type.

A few days before the hotel fire in Madinah shareef, a young man working in Jeddah phoned Hazrat and said "I went to Madina. Shareef and saw in my dream that Hazrat shaykh Zakaria rahmatullahi alayhi was making an announcement on the microphone. When I heard his voice, I stood up and listened attentively. He said "Tell the people of Madina to do istighfar and repent"

The main point Hazrat was trying make was that these are some warnings from Allah (tanbeeh). Allah is trying to caution us, awaken us from our ghaflat.

May Allah give us tawfeeq to understand the admonition and wake up from our deep sleep.

After musafaha and while exiting, Hazrat paused for a moment and said Surah kahaf is the best for protection from all fitnas, the apparent and the hidden. We should read it everyday, not just on Friday.

If one can't find time to read whole Surah everyday then at least the opening verses upto 'Am Hasibta'

And the closing ayaat from 'Afa Hasiballazeena kafaru' until the end of the Surah, should be recited daily.

Wallahu a'alam

Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

It is praiseworthy to recite either the entire Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18) or at least the  first 10 OR last 10 verses every Friday. In Islam the new day begins at sunset so from Thursday (sunset) until Friday (sunset) a person should recite this. You can also recite first 10 OR last 10 verses of Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18)  daily

The virtues of this recital are two folds:

1. If someone recites the entire Surah then there will be Noor (enlightenment) for him  from the Friday in which he recites until the next.
2. The first 10 (or last 10) verses are protection against Dajjal and should be memorized and recited on a daily basis as a short and effective protection against Dajjal.

The evidence is as follows:

 

من قرأ سورة الكهف في يوم الجمعة أضاء له من النور ما بين الجمعتين

Sayyidina Abu Saeed Al-Khurdi (RA) narrates that “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.” [Haakim]

 

عن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : " مَنْ حَفِظَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْف عُصِمَ مِنْ الدَّجَّالِ " أي : من فتنته ، قال مسلم : قال شعبة : " مِنْ آخِرِ الْكَهْفِ و قَالَ هَمَّامٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الْكَهْف "

Sayyidina Abu’l-Dardaa’ (RA)  that the Prophet (Sallalaho Alaihe Wassallam) said: “Whoever memorizes ten aayaat from the beginning of Soorat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjaal” – i.e., from his fitnah. Muslim said: “Shu’bah said, ‘from the end of al-Kahf.’ Hammaam said, ‘from the beginning of al-Kahf.’” [Muslim]

The first 10 verses of Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18) are as follows:


 

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ عِوَجًا ۜ

قَيِّمًا لِيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِنْ لَدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا
مَاكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا

وَيُنْذِرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا

مَا لَهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِآبَائِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۚ إِنْ يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا

فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ إِنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا

إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

وَإِنَّا لَجَاعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيدًا جُرُزًا

أَمْ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِيمِ كَانُوا مِنْ آيَاتِنَا عَجَبًا

إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا
