False visions and dreams of Ikhwaan al-Mufsideen

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Ikhwaan al-Mufsideen and their false visions and dreams:

🚫A) Back in 2013, during the 2nd Egyptian revolt/protest, some "Shaikh" made a claim, saying: "some righteous people in al-Madeenah saw a dream that Jibreel عليه السلام had descended in support of the people who had gathered around the Masjid Raabi`ah Al-Adawiyah (the spot of their protest)."

📑 Note:
1. Who are these "righteous people" who saw the dream?
2. In a narration, it is reported that it is sufficient to consider a person to have lied, who narrates everything that he hears. (or as the Prophet had said).
3. How are they sure they saw Jibreel عليه السلام?
4. When Jibreel عليه السلام came to the Companions in a human form, they could not recognize him. And except for the Prophets and Messengers, none has been given permission to see him in his original form.
5. How can Jibreel عليه السلام support a people in an act (protest) which is against the Sunnah?
6. It could have been Shaitaan! Shaitaan came in a human form in support of the Mushrikeen during the battle of Badr.
7. There is no authentic report that any of the Companions ever made a claim of seeing Jibreel عليه السلام in their dreams - neither during the lifetime of the Prophet nor after his demise.

🌴🌴🌴

🚫B) Salman al-Audah made a claim that he saw the Prophet and his Companions in his dream, and that he asked the Prophet a few questions and he responded to them. Then Salman sought his permission to write them down as people have formed many principles and rules in the Deen, and everyone has gone their different ways. And that this writing will help them unite and come back to his Sunnah and the right way. Then he claims that the Prophet gave him permission to write and then to also said to present it to him so that he could review it and correct the mistakes.

📑 Note:
1. Whoever sees the Prophet in his dream - as per the description in the Ahaadeeth - then indeed he has seen him . [Saheehain]
2. Anyone who claims to have seen the Prophet in a form other than what has been described in the Ahaadeeth has clearly lied. Example: saying that they saw him without a beard.
3. Dreams are the 46th part of Prophethood, and the righteous man will see his dream come true.
4. But no dreams can add or reduce anything from the Sharee`ah as it has been completed and perfected.
5. No one from the Salaf authenticated or unauthenticated a narration based on dreams.
6. No one from the Salaf accepted dreams as Hujjah (proof) in the matters of Sharee`ah.
7. Saying that principles and rules have divided the Ummah is Baatil (falsehood). Rather principles and rules were made based on the Qur'aan and Sunnah, so how can they divide the Ummah?
8. Principles and rules were made to prevent division and to prevent personal interpretations of the Text. Even mathematics has a set of rules: "BODMAS" or "PEMDAS" to limit the answer.
9. The Companions faced many difficulties and differed in some of the issues of Fiqh. But no one said that the Prophet corrected it for them or guided them in their dreams.
10. This is one of the methods the Sufees employ. Seeing a good dream is from the 46th part of Nubuwway (Prophethood) and it is a way of receiving glad tidings for the Believers. But what Salman al-`Audah is doing is giving an open invitation to some of the Sufees (the “Awliyaa” and the “Abdaal” among them) to interpolate in the Deen of Allaah as they please. If it is allowed to take knowledge through dreams, then they have more rights to this way of learning. They claim to receive Kashf (visions in the state of wakefulness) and they also claim to receive revelations directly from Allaah, as they say:

حدثني قلبي عن ربي...

"My heart informed me from my Lord…"

We seek Allaah’s refuge from such foolishness.

🌴🌴🌴

🚫C) Now here is the vision of the biggest evil of them all, `Amr Khaalid, the Egyptian speaker, who claimed that in 2011, during the 1st protest, in the Tahreer Square, he saw Allaah! Not the miracles of Allaah, nor His Signs, but Allaah Himself, and not in his dreams, but while he was wide awake and in that Maidaan (Square). And Allaah's refuge is sought from such foolishness.

And he continues that when he was in that Square - in that mix gathering of men and women, young and old, Muslims and Christians - he felt like he was amongst the Angels!

📑 Note:
1. Allaah تعالى mentioned in Surah al-A`raaf, that when Moosaa عليه السلام requested Allaah to show Himself so that he can see Him, Allaah جل وعلا replied: {"You cannot see Me, but look upon the mountain if it stands still in its place then you shall see Me." So when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He made it collapse to dust, and Moosaa fell down unconscious. Then when he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to You (O Allaah), I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers."}
2. Moosaa عليه السلام could not see Allaah, but this dude could?!
3. Moosaa عليه السلام fell down unconscious, but this dude did not?! Is he stronger than Moosaa عليه السلام?!
4. The mountain collapsed to dust, but this Square is intact till now?!
5. The most pious of people - after the Prophets عليهم السلام - i.e. the Companions, in the best of time, i.e. during the lifetime of the Prophet , neither during Laylatul-Qadr nor on the Day of `Arafah - they never made such a claim; yet Allaah appeared to this man, in the worst of situations, where there was intermingling of men and women, boys and girls, Muslims with Christians, dancing and singing!!!
6. In a long Hadeeth about al-Dajjaal, the Prophet said: "Bear this thing in mind that none amongst you would be able to see Allaah عز وجل until he dies." [Saheeh Muslim]
7. Narrated Masrooq: I said to `Aaishah: "O Mother! Did Prophet Muhammad see his Lord?" `Aaishah said: "What you have said made my hair stand on end! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar: {A} Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord, is a liar." Then `Aaishah recited the Aayah: {No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Courteous Well-Acquainted with all things.} (6.103) and also the Aayah {It is not fitting for a human being that Allaah should speak to him except by inspiration or from behind a veil.} (42.51) `Aaishah further said: {B} "And whoever tells you that the Prophet knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar." She then recited: {No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow} (31.34) She added: {C} "And whoever tells you that he concealed (some of Allaah's commandments) is a liar." Then she recited: {O Messenger! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord..} (5.67) `Aaishah added. "But the Prophet saw Jibreel in his true form twice." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree]

💢💢💢

All this shows that even in this age of advancement and easy availability of knowledge, there are more Juhhaal (ignorant) than ever before. People are seeking information but not the knowledge. Beneficial knowledge is that which guides the person to the Truth and righteous deeds, and not towards such falsehood and ignorance.

نسأل الله السلامة
