To believe Quraan as miracle is a common attitude, otherwise this divine book is a "universe of intellectual miracle", because it contains treasures of secret sciences. In that treasure of secret sciences one can find wonderful precious gems and science of dream is one of them. Dreams consists several indications. In spiritual world its similarity is like Ex-Ray system. It is a divine bounty upon human that He (Allah) alerts any forthcoming issue, through the science of dream. One can learn problems, physical or spiritual, through expert of the faculty of dreams. External science reach on the peak but it has no excess to the internal science; therefore interpretation of dreams is beyond their excess. Dream also extends invitation to the observer to think and improve oneself. Scientific invention produced such sophisticated equipments that discover secret and hidden matters, but it not succeeds to enter the world of dream. Learned writer of "Kitaab al Tabir al Ruya" transmitted a Tradition: "if anyone suffers with nightmare than he never discuss it among others but wake up, offer Wazu and perform Salaat. Do Istaghfaar, recite Doa and Zikar (Tasabih) and give Sadaqah. These are the best weapons of protection". The learned writer of "Majmuah Yamaniyah", Shaikh Abdultayyab bin Syedi Abdulqadir has discussed that Imam Jafar Assadiq divided dreams in three categories:
Tiding for believer
Harassment of the Shaitaan
To confuse and puzzle in any matter
Imam Sadiq further explained that the dream which oneself observe in the beginning phase of the night is value-less, because it is the time while evil forces spread their power. That evil spirit harasses the people through dreams. The true dreams can be seen in the final phase of the night, prior to the beginning of the sign of morning. This is the time while Malaekat descend. Normally the dreams which people observe this time is true, except the observer is in the condition that bath is compulsory on him or he is not punctual of Salaat. In such conditions result would take place in long time. According to the learned writer of "Qaratees Yamaniyah", Syedi Wajhiyuddin, science of dream interpretation is one of the most difficult subjects and exclusive with the chosen ones of Allah. Imam Baqir has instructed to the members of the Ummah to discuss dreams only with the one who maintain Taqwa. Because dream is remain hang in between the sky and the earth till interpreter can not explain its meaning. Therefore, it is below intelligence to discuss dream among the non-competent and Taqwa-less class.
"Saheb al Rasail", Imam Ahmad al Mastur explains science of dream as faculty of Wahi, which has numerous departments. Dream is one of them, in which senses confined their functions. Hearing of a voice despite of presence of any signs is another form. Quraan discuss precisely the institution of Wahi and faculty of dream. "Therefore, it is not possible for any human to have conversation with Allah but through Wahi or from behind any curtain or through an authorized Rasul from Him." Another Ayat says: "(Remember) when Allah showed them to be few in your dream, for if He had shown them to be many, you would have certainly become weak-hearted and would have quarreled over the affair, but Allah saved you. Verily He knows what is in the hearts" ( Surat al Anfaal, Ayat No.43). A question arises, what is sleep and what is dream? The simple definition of the sleep is the state of soul when it does not exercising with all senses…And dream is the imagination of soul. …. Soul is an intellectual jewel, which is used by mind, heart and all available senses and every part of body, which are instruments for soul to appear some actions with their support. Consequently, soul show some views in which one can observe amazing events that could not been seen in the state of awakening". (Ikhwan us Safa, Risalah No. 46). "If anyone claim that dreams are super-flues ability and have no relation with reality, than he denies the Quraan. Similarly as Ibrahim (A.S.) said to his son Ismail (A.S.), "I saw in my dream that I slaughter you, accordingly tell me your decision, he submitted: "O my father! Do as you are commanded to do so." Therefore, if Ibrahim was not acquainted with the reality of dreams he must have slaughtered his own son on the bases of dream he saw. Similarly if Ismail was not acquainted with the reality of dreams he must not have said to his father that do as you are commanded and not have embraced him for slaughtering. Rasulullah (S.A.WA) explained that true dream is a part from the (various compulsory) parts of Nubuwat. He also informed that though the institution of Wahi exclusive but the faculty of true dreams remains active. Hence, if he, who argues that dreams are false, contradicted the institution of Wahi of the previous Anbiya, which they achieved through the media of dreams in the state of sleep, so he denied the lofty spiritual science and also rejected the existence of soul. Alas! He became the ignorant of the most precious knowledge and of its origin. Consequently, he became deprived of the most precious bounties of Allah, so we offer Doa that may Allah guide and show them the right path, open their hearts and wide their minds to understand the precise knowledge and inner meanings, hence, those who are not guided by Allah to the right path have no guide and the Noor of truth for them". The dreams which are seen through the inspiration of Malaekat or influence of Shaitan are form of vision, which roots are quite different". (Ikhwan us Safa, Risalah No. 46). ……"While pious and righteous souls departed from their bodies and achieved their rewards. The spirit received sort of satisfaction through the sympathy that extended in the material world with their successors by the worldly people. All nearest and dearest ones wish for them for rewards, peace and happiness that it gained after death. And it may possible that the pious souls come into their dreams to exhorted them and remind them about their destinations and commands them to strict on the path of piety, good deeds and acquirement of eternal peace and give them glad tidings, thus, take these glad tidings who will meet them after their death". Imam Ahmad al Mastur says: "we have decided to elaborate that how dream could be identified that whether it is from the inspiration of Malaekat or whispering and intrigue of Shaitaan or from any other source. Each dream consist guidance and its Taweel interpretation direct towards the piety and good deeds. It attracts towards the hereafter and these kinds of inspiration are from Malaekat"…"On the other hand, dreams that are from the intrigue and whisperings of Shaitaan are those in which lust of worldly affairs are largely available, which are so dear to the people of desires and it increase in their lust more". (Ikhwan us Safa, Risalah No. 46).
Dreams are divided in the following groups,
I. Wahi, Taeed and ilhaam (exclusive faculty of chose ones of Allah)
II.Enlightened dreams (tiding to those who are doing well at large)
III.Confused dreams (warning to those who are committing sins to stop)
IV.Due to whisperings of Shaitaan (Surat al Falaq discussed the practice of Shaitaan to intrigue human soul time to time)
Confused dreams also indicate what happen with the dreamer in his daily routine experience, by conversation or imagination. Similarly, dreams are also influenced by the condition of health and strength. Dreams also influence by astrological changes. Many people have different experience with vision. According to "Saheb al Rasaeel" few have attain following experience:
1.A few people saw true dreams with inner meaning
2.Some achieve opposite meaning
3.Some hold amazing meaning with inner interpretation (Ikhwan us Safa, Risalah No. 46)
"Al Shakhs al Fazil, Saheb al Rasail" says:" O my brother! Although the interpretation of dreams is an art but it has three manifestations precisely:
1.Accurate and straight dreams for e.g. if a person saw in a dream to travel than he may travels as he saw.
2.Sometime interpretation of dreams is totally opposite what a person observed. If anyone saw in dreams that he is crying, he would get happy or found happiness in dream might get sorrow in reality.
3.If anyone saw in the dream that he is flying than he may travels in reality or eat the meat of human being that indicates habit of backbiting or eat hot meal that indicates forthcoming event of clash etc.
All these dreams occur on the bases of conviction and passion". (Ikhwan us Safa, Risalah No. 46). A Hadith say: "The right and accurate dream is of an emperor or slave i.e. emperor is one who has command over the human souls and that is Nabi or Imam. And slave means true follower of the chosen one of Allah". (Tawil al Daem, Syedna al Qazi al Numan, Manuscript). Imam Jafar Assadiq taught Syedi Mufaddal bin Amar science of dream perfectly. He explained how "matters are blended with truth and false. Therefore if all the dreams were reliable, then everyone would become Nabi, and if they all false then there would be of no benevolent, instead of that it would all be useless, meaningless. At times dreams do appear truthful and so people approve it beneficial or protects by it in harms. But most of them accuse of lying so that they don't completely trust on it". (Tawhid al Mufaddal, Beriut, page No. 45)
Principles of interpretation are largely discussed and explained by Ibn Sireen. He says: "dreams are one part of Nubuwat out of its 46 components, it is necessary that a person who explained and interpret the dreams should posses the following qualities:
1) Interpreter should be the scholar of the Quraan
2) Interpreter should be a learned of Ahdith literature
3) Interpreter should be well versed with Arabi in depth
4) Interpreter should be well versed with the science of astrology
5) Interpreter should be well versed with the science of interpretation of dreams
6) Interpreter should be pure by nature
7) Interpreter should have well mannered
8) Interpreter should be straightforward.
So that Allah guides him towards the correct version of the vision and directs him to the goodness of brilliant possessors.
Quraan provide us some examples of interpretation of dreams. Quraan says: "As if they were eggs closely guarded. The women are described as eggs, which are always guarded against external forces. ( Surat No. 37, Ayat No. 49)." Quraan says: "(Yet) after that your hearts hardened like stones, or even harder. (Ayat No. 74, Surat No.2)" Quraan condemn the habit of backbiting: "Do not spy and do not backbite. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? (Ayat No. 12, Surat No. 49)" Then We delivered him and those with him in the ark, and We made it a sign to the worlds". Ship is indicated as source of Najaat "(Ayat). She said: "Verily when kings enter a town (as conquerors) they ruin it and make the noblest of its people its meanest." (Ayat No. 34, Surat No. 27). They are garments for you and you are a garment for them. (Ayat No. 187, Surat No.2). Hence, the interpretations of the Ahadith are such as crow has been interpreted as cruel person because Rasulullah (SAWA) has named crow as sinful bird and mouse has been interpreted as wicked woman, "Mouse is malevolence". Similarly, disease is interpreted as hypocrisy for those who are disobeying to their promises i.e. he is weak in his promises. Similarly, anyone who washes his hand with soap is interpreted as been deprived from any bounty for e.g. it is said that I washed my hands from you means I am deprived from your goodness. In this manner, the interpretations of dreams sometime explain from its names, sometime from meanings and sometime with opposite meaning. Happiness is interpreted by sadness. So, the meaning explained sometime according to the situation and person. If the same dream has observe by an emperor and a beggar than the interpretation also different. Such as, pomegranate is interpreted for emperor as a bestowed city with my bounties but for ordinary trader it is interpreted such as his shop or house, for scholar or cleric it could be his book, for bachelor it could be his lover's beauty and money. Accordingly in this manner dreams of an emperor could not be interpreted such as the dreams of common person. A few signs of dreams and their interpretations are as follow:
To see oneself to wear neat and clean dress = is a sign of Taqwa
To see oneself to wear torn and old cloths= is sign of less Taqwa
To see oneself naked = is sign of loose character and licentiousness
To see fog= indicate Shirk and commitment of Kufur
To see moon, star and sun= specify towards the path of Tawheed
To see greenery or orchid = spiritual elevation and increment in learning
To see gems and wealth= indicates wisdom and knowledge
Rabbit= sleep, non-attentive, laziness
Pig, duck and ant = greedy and lust
Water=Knowledge
Camel=Humble
Dog and lion=sign of enmity, anger
To step forward to the mount= sign of progress
To see sky and its component =spiritual promotion
To step down from the mount= sign of demotion
Collection of gems= academic achievement and reward
To see various kinds of fruits= tiding of jannat
To fly over the sky= wish of Jannat
To see oneself busy in Ibadat= is indicates spiritual progress
To see holy places= is a reward of Taqwa and piousness
To see spiritual person with armed= indication of spiritual Jihaad
To see an excellent house= Tidings of construction of spiritual building
See oneself death= indication of death of soul
To see oneself physically unfit= indicates spiritual disease
To watch ruins= indication of spiritual demotion
To observe cattle= beneficial
Horse=indication of spiritual Jihaad and travel
Attack of dog= be alert from the external and internal enemies
Cow= sign of materialistic and over eating
Snack, bear=sign of strong hidden enmity and bias nature
Peacock and elephant=sign of proud ness
Fox=wicked and cunning by nature
Donkey and cock= sexuality
Crow= Illegitimate earnings, illegal source
Wolf= wrong path
Monkey, parrot=juggler and vulgar by nature
Rat=robbery or loot
Hudhud=spy
Mango or jam= tiding of livelihood
Red sky = news of sorrow
Black sky= nasty, tribulations
Snow stones= warning of wrath
Bath=sign of disease and sorrow
Bleeding from the eye= loss in children or property
To see oneself blind= death of child, separation with brother, shrinking earning
Serpent or dragon= sign of the trial of tyrant ruler
Thunder storm= loss, poverty, painful trouble.

Miraculous medicinal uses of Zamzam
Miraculous medicinal uses of Zamzam.
By: Dr. Qazi Shaikh Abbas Borhany
Published in "The Weekly Mag", April 16, 2005, Pakistan , & in the Yemen Times.
It was the earnest need of the child that mother of Ismail Nabi ran in search of water in the vicinity of Makkah. Under divine instruction, Jibreel (A.S.), struck the site of the land with his heels, and perpetual source of healing Zamzam was discovered. Zamzam was considered sacred earlier to Islam amongst Jews as well as Christians too. Afterwards, due to the religious bigotry they ignored it. It has simultaneously three abilities, to quench the thirst and removes the feeling of hunger. The next ability of Zamzam, as per traditions, is its numerous and enormous medicinal benefits.
·Rasulullah(S.A.W.A.) used to carry Zamzam in water-bags to Madinah. He used to sprinkle it over the sick and offered them to drink it with the intention of cure, (Al Silsilat al Saheeyah, 883, Qaherah).
·According to the Hadith literature "Zamzam, is a Barakat, a food that satisfies and a cure for the sick". (1-Abizar, Muslim, 4/1922; 2-. Al Tayaalisi (61)).
·Zamzam is considered to help students in the correct pronunciation of Arabi in non-Arab region.
·It was Abizar who expressed his personal experience to his Lord, Rasulullah(S.A.W.A.),while he questioned about his foodstuff. He informed: I had spent forty long days with Zamzam. I do not feel any kind of weakness or hunger nor do I become slim." Rasulullah(S.A.W.A.) declared: "Verily, it is blessed, it is food that nourishes." (Muslim, 2473).
·According to the Tradition narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah al Ansari "With whatever (legal) intention one can drink it his wish fulfills". "It is a cure for a numerous diseases by the order of Allah. So you should have the intention of what you want to gain by drinking this water".
·Abbas informed: "Before the dawn of Islam, Zamzam was known as Shabaah (satisfaction).When he drank from Zamzam, he recited this Doa: "O Allah! I ask you for beneficial knowledge, plentiful provision and healing from every disease."
·It is applied to the eyes to brighten the sight.
A Yemeni Shaikh was fond of reading Quraan from a small Mashaf. As he became old he found that he couldn't read easily from that Mashaf because his sight is getting weak. He heard about the Zamzam and its advantages. He came to Haj and drank from Zamzam. His vision improved and he started reading from that small Mashaf easily and without any sight problem. He achieved what he wanted because he was confident of that and had deep faith in.
Yusria Abdel Rahman al Harazi, a Yemeni lady narrated that she was affected by a crimson ulcer, in eye. She had severe headache, which cannot be cured by medicine. She was about to become blind in the affected eye. She consulted famous eye specialist there, who advised her, an injection, which will stop the headache but will dysfunction the affected eye and consequently she will loose the sight. Yusria got frightened but confident of the mercy of Allah. She intended to perform Umrah and begs to Allah to cure her. She came to Makkah and performed Tawaaf and washed her eyes with Zamzam. When she came back to the hotel, she found that her affected eyes were cured and the crimson ulcer disappeared.
Dr. Faruq Antar, tells his own story. He says: that he had a stone in his ureter and the doctor could not remove or destroy it without operation. But he postponed the operation two times. Meanwhile he performed Umrah and offered Doa to cure him without undergoing operation. He drank Zamzam water and offered two Rakaat. Then he felt a benching in his ureter and hurried up to the toilet and by the grace of Allah he saw the miracle. The stone came out and he was cured without operation. The doctors who were treating Dr. Faruq were surprised for this sacred treatment. ("Scientific Miracles in Islam & Sunnat Nabawiyah" By: Mohammed Kamil Abdel Samad, Beirut ).
Layla Al Helw, a Moroccan lady says: "9 years ago, I found out that I had a cancer. I was not a religious so decided to commit suicide, but it was destined that my illness became cause of my emancipation and source of inspiration a lot of people like me. I went to Belgium for advance treatment. Several doctors recommended my husband that removal of my breast is indispensable. I requested the doctors to suggest another medication course. As per suggestion, I followed the treatment and it did not cause any serious side effects, which made me pleased. I Thought; may be the doctors were wrong and I didn't have cancer. However, after about six months, I started losing weight quickly, my color started to change and I had a continuous pain. My Moroccan doctor advised me to go back to Belgium , so I followed advice. Belgian doctors told my husband that the disease has spread all over my body and they have no hope in my case. They said, "You better take your wife back to her home so that she dies peacefully at home!" We went to France for treatment. The answer was same as the Belgian doctors. Finally, we decided to enter the hospital to remove my breasts through surgery. However, my husband thought of something that we forgot. He suddenly asked me to perform Umrah. I bought a Quraan from Paris and we left for Umrah. I was very happy because it was the first time for me to visit the Kabah. When I entered the Haram and first saw the Kabah, I cried a lot because; I regretted on all my past years I spent, without Salaat. I repented: "O Lord! The doctors were unable to cure me. You have the cure for every disease; all the doors are locked in front of me. I have nothing left to seek except your door, so please, O my Lord! Don't close your door on me." I kept on Doa while I was offering Tawaaf. I asked Allah not to disappoint me or send me back with empty hands.
I went to the scholars there and requested them to guide me to the book of Doa that can be easy to read. They guided me to read as much as I can from the Quraan. They also advised to take a lot of "Tadhalloo" from Zamzam (Tadhalloo is to drink a lot of water until the water reaches your ribs). They also advised me to do Zikar of Allah a lot and recite Salawaat. In Kabah, I felt pleasant peace and relieved. I requested my husband to allow me to stay inside the Haram, which he granted. In Kabah, there were some Misri and Turkish sisters beside me, who saw me crying a lot. They asked me about the reason. I informed them that I have cancer and while found no place for cure I came here with full conviction. They also accompanied me and we spent time in Tawaaf, Ibadat and Tilawat. Upper part of my body was swollen and filled with pus. Those sisters recommended me to pour Zamzam on affected area for cure, but due to the fear of unbearable pain, I did not follow their advice. On the fifth day, my friends insisted that I should pour Zamzam on my upper part of the body for Shifa, at the beginning I refused, but I felt something forcing me to do it. I slowly started trying to go through the parts, later I forced my hands on my upper part and went through my breasts. Something unbelievable happened. There was no swelling, no blood and no pus. I couldn't believe what I felt. I went through my upper part again, and it was true. I shivered.
I cherished that Allah has full command to do anything what so ever. I asked one of my friends to touch my body with her hand and look for the swelling, she did. And they all spontaneously shouted, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. I ran towards my husband in the hotel. I told him of what happened and he couldn't believe it. Tears rolled down from the eyes of both of us. He said, do you know that the doctors told me! That you shall die within a period of three weeks only? I said, all the fortune is within the Hands and Will of Allah. No one knows what the future is holding for us except for Him. We stayed in the Kabah for one week. I paid thanks to Him for His uncountable Graces. Then we rushed to Masjid al Nabawi and performed Ziyarat. Afterwards we flew to France and meet our doctors. They were surprised and became nearly crazy. "Are you the same person?" They asked me. I was very proud to say, with out any doubt yes and this is my husband. We have returned from the house of Allah. They admitted that mine is a very strange and unbelievable case. They examined me again, and found nothing. I read Sirat al Nabi and cried a lot. I cried regretting all what I have missed in my past life. I missed the love of Allah and His Rasul(S.A.W.A.). I cried for the time I have wasted away. I ask Allah to forgive me, my husband and all Muslims. (Translated from the Arabi: "Those Who Repented To Allah" by: Ibrahim Abdullah Al Hazemy, Morocco ).
