The Etiquette and Interpretation of Dreams Ahmed Farid

The intepretation of dreams is one of the greatest, comprehence and most useful types of knowledge. The prophet (saw) said: 'A good dreams (that comes true) of a righteous man is one forty-sixth part of prophethood' and he (saw) also said; nothing is left of the prophethood except al Mubashshirat?' They asked, 'What are al Mubashshirat?' He (saw) replied, 'the good true dreams (that convey glad tidings).'Imam Malik (ra) was asked, 'can anyone interpret dreams? He answered: 'Can anyone play with prophethood'. The prophet (saw) has forbidden us to ask anyone about the interpretation of dreams, except a scholar. Due to the nobility and importance of this knowledge Allah (swt) has associated it with his prophets and righteous servants. The two imprisoned men told Yusuf (as) 'inform us of the interpretation of this. Very, we think you are one of the muhsinun (Does of good)' [Surah Yusuf Ayah 36]In an era when the banner of Sunnah is raised, Muslims are waiting for a new dawn and since the demand for books on the interpretation of dreams is on the increase, I have decided to compile a book from the etiquette and interpretation of dreams. I hope that Muslims, all over the world, would benefit from it and I ask Allah (swt) for his reward, on the day of judgement. I do not claim that I have excelled in this knowledge, nor become an interpreter of dreams, but I am entirely dependant upon the works of salaf saleh (righteous predecessors) and I only pass on their knowledge to the Muslim Ummah.
