Ramadan: Dreams and Visions- I

 

Ramadan is a special month in the devotional calendar of the Muslim. This month of fasting is characterized by an atmosphere of spiritual contemplations, special invocations and other supererogatory acts of worship and remembrance of God whereby the Muslim seeks nearness to his/her Lord. Members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in India have reported several pure dreams and pious visions of a mystical nature that clearly points to Divine Light and Pleasure on the Jamaat of Allah (twt) in this blessed month of Ramadan, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah.  

 

Reproduced below is a remarkable description of certain mystical experiences that took place on Saturday, 01 April 2023 & again, on Sunday 02 April 2023 after 9 pm during Taraweeh prayer- reported by our dear brother Muhammad Sabir Saheb of Palakkad (Kerala) on behalf of his pious and humble wife, Mubeena Sabir Saheba:

 

In a statement submitted for the benefit of truth-seekers and Jamaat members, Muhammad Sabir Saheb narrates (edited transcript):

 

‘My wife Mubeena Saheba witnessed a dream on 01 April 2023 at night. Before sleeping that night, she was emotionally-overwhelmed while reciting Du'ahs, and wept before Allah (swt) while lying down and then started to sleep…As the dream begins, she saw a pure stream, with crystal-clear water, flowing down. And she also sees that people are washing their clothes at the side of the canal. After that, she also observes some dirty water where the dirt and filth is going down inside, little by little. And she hears a voice telling, loudly: ‘There are Signs for people of understanding’.


****************

 

On Sunday, 02 April 2023, after completion of Isha prayer at night, we started Taraweeh prayer. When we completed two Raka'ts of Taraweeh,  she told me that she felt like someone has tied / hold her hands and legs with the chair and told her to close the eyes, she also felt the pain because of tying/holding.

 

Then she saw a Musallah, a prayer-mat that fell down in front of her. And then, a 'Raihal - Qur'an reading-stand' also appeared, followed by the Holy Quran on the special stand. Then a mystical figure came, but she couldn't see the face- not sure whether a human or something else. But the figure wore a golden-colour coat. He is reciting the Holy Qur’an. Then, a profound light came, illuminating the location of the Holy Qur'an and all its surroundings. And the mystical figure told her to close and do not open her eyes- even as she was listening to the recitations of the Holy Qur'an by that figure as well as the recitation of Sabir Saheb during Taraweeh prayer.

 

Then at the last Rakaat of Taraweeh prayer, (we saw her) she was weeping. I asked her the reason for weeping, then, she explained  what happened to her during the Taraweeh prayer. Until that time we didn't know that she was undergoing all these mystical experiences during the Taraweeh prayer. Then I asked her, ‘can we pray our Witr Namaz now?’ She replied, ‘Ok’. Then, we started our Witr prayer. During the third Raka'at, in Sajda we were making Du'ah. At that time she felt that someone was holding her hands very tightly to the ground and hence, she couldn't move her hands. Even after we moved up for Attahiyat from Sajda, the mystical figure did not let her hands to move and told her not to open her eyes. And then she tried hard to move her hands. At the same time I gave Salaam to finish the Witr prayer…Then I asked her, ‘what happened to you?’ Then she replied that someone held my hands down and told me to say all to recite Dhikr and Salawat, so Recite Dhikr and Saalwat. Hence, she told me and my daughter to recite Dhikr and Salawat.

 

So we immediately start doing Dhikr and Salawat a lot. Then she felt a lot of body pain and headache and she told me that something is happening to her and that she is afraid. And when we look at her, she was much sweating. Then we consoled her, giving her water to drink and doing massage to relieve the body pain. After sometime, there is relief from body pain for her.

 

After that, before sleeping at night, she reads one page of Surah Yaseen. Once again she felt like someone has tied/ is holding her hands and legs tightly, and she found she couldn't move. Then someone told her to say,  ‘LA ILAHA ILLALLAH’

She started to say, ‘LA ILAHA ILLALLAH.’

 

(Around 11:15pm) During the recitation of ‘LA ILAHA ILLALLAH’, she saw a very beautiful house: in that house she saw many beautiful, rose flowers. And someone called her to come inside the house. Then she woke up to go to the house, at the same time she saw a Golden- colour Ship is coming.

 

From the ship, Face-veiled people (wearing black-colored clothing) -  calls her to come to the ship. At the same time she (suddenly) woke up from the bed and told to Sabir Saheb that they are calling me to ship, let me go to the ship. And I told her Ok,  and but, seeing the trance-like state, we hold her hand to massage and relieve her hands, then she started weeping a lot and told Sabir Saheb that why you do not let me go to the ship when they called me to come to the ship and weeping a lot before becoming unconscious. Then we placed her on the bed to sleep. [Later, when I asked her, ‘what happened?’, she replied: ‘it was like my Rooh was taken by someone (that is, as though the Rooh was not with her at that time)].


After some time she regained consciousness. She got much body pain and headache and then we did massage her hands and legs, gave some medicine for the headache and she felt the pain until the next day- Monday, 03 April 2023.

 

In a special message to Muhammad Sabir Saheb, Hazrat Khalifatullah (aba) appreciated this beautiful Kashaf of Mubeena Saheba:  


Mobarak Ho, Hazaar Mobarak! May Allah gives you and your wife and your daughter good health and long life and remove all your difficulties, Ameen, Summah Ameen, YA RABUL ALAMEEN’.

Spiritual Experience of 11 April 2023


'After Isha prayer, Mubeena saheba told my daughter and me that she has too much pain in hand and leg, and displayed signs of restlessness because of the pain she experienced, and alleviate the situation, we did some massage of both the hands. While remaining in that state of being, she told me that there is a screen and a person in front of me. At that time we could not understand what she was telling. Then she entered into an unconscious state.

 

After regaining consciousness, Sabir Saheb asked whether they could start the prayer, and she replied affirmatively. At the end of 6th Raka'at of Taraweeh, after I completed the Sajda, she remained in the Sajda and didn't wake up. After I completed that Raka'at, that is after giving Salaam only she woke up from the Sajda. And she told me that as Khalifatullah (aba) is standing there, please provide a chair for him. I did not answer anything on that. Then she was weeping a lot and became unconscious. After some time she came back to conscious state, then we completed the last Raka'at of Taraweeh. After completing the Taraweeh, she asked me, ‘have we completed Taraweeh?’ I replied, ‘Yes’ and we have remaining only Witr to pray. Then we completed Witr prayer. After the prayer, I enquired about what was happening to her. 

 

Then, she explained like this:


During Isha prayer, she felt that someone tied her hands and legs, and there was too much body pain, bitter taste like the symptoms of fever. During waking from Sajda in the second Raka'at,  she felt that the Golden-layered, Black-coloured cloth of Ka'baa came at one side of the room, like a screen.


At that time she wondered, ‘isn't this the cloth of Ka'baa?’ When she thought about this two three persons came and holding the hand and tried to drag her. Then she cried and told them please do not hold the hand and drag me, and pulled back her hand from them. After that she went unconscious. After some time she came back to consciousness. At that time only I asked her, ‘can we start Taraweeh?’ She responded, ok. When she started Taraweeh prayer, she prayed Allah, ‘Oh My Allah! I didn't understand what I have seen, please make me understand!’

 

So, at the time of raising her hand for the Takbeer for starting Taraweeh, again the cloth of Ka'baa appears and near the cloth of Ka'baa, a person appears, but she couldn't recognize his face, but she witnessed only his smile. Then that person gave and sent a cloth to a Blue Rock Pigeon with feather like peacock colour. Then the pigeon with the cloth came towards Mubeena Saheba and entered into her heart, she was frightened, but the person was smiling. Then she prayed in her mind that she couldn't recognize this person!

 

After thinking of the unrecognized face with the prayers, then, within a few seconds, it appears that Hazrat Khalifatullah (ay) is coming from the inside of Ka'aba. When our Khalifatullah came outside from the Ka'aba, the smiling face/unrecognized person disappeared from the scene. Then Hazrat Khalifatullah was standing in front of the Ka'aba, facing it for Salaat with a smiling face. Then Mubeena Saheba happily told me to arrange a chair for Huzur. But no chairs were there. Then she starts crying and telling that Oh! What I will do now! I do not have any chairs for Khalifatullah! Then she went unconscious.


After 10 minutes only, she regained consciousness. Then she told me that she couldn't remember until Witr prayer whether she performed Taraweeh or not. But, she remembered listening to the recitation of Sabir Saheb. And she got too much body pain including much irritation at palm like burning.’

 

Speaking about the vision of Mubeena Sabir Saheba, Hazrat Tayyeba Aliah Nasrine Saheba observed:  


‘Masha-Allah. Very beautiful heartfelt Kashaf. Her Kashaf type is she gets pain, confirming how much painful Kashaf state and Revelation state like for Khalifatullah is. Allah is confirming through her that if a common human is undergoing so much pain, then, imagine how much pain the Khalifatullah undergoes when he receives Divine Revelations.’

                                           

                                                  *********************


Another Spiritual Experience on 14 April 2023 

[After Jum'uah & Asar Jammu Namaz].

 

After Jum'uah prayer, Mubeena Saheba asked me whether her husband Sabir Saheb could feel the smell of  different kinds of Attar ( Fragrance). ‘Do you smell the fragrance?’ Sabir Saheb replied: No, I am not getting any special smell. She told that she was feeling the smell of different fragrances.


Because of my work-related schedules, I performed Asar prayer (Jammu namaz) after Jum'uah with my family. After completing the Asar prayer, that is after giving Salaam to end the prayer, I saw that Mubeena saheba was sitting and her eyes were closed, and tears were coming out. For nearly 5 minutes, she was in a trance-like state, talking something to someone. Also she told Salaam. After coming back to normal, I asked her what happened?

 

She replied that during our prayer, many persons were sitting there. All were dressed in white and also they all were white people, with white beard and white Turban. I have never seen such faces earlier. And also they told me Salaam. I too replied them. Also they told me something, but I could not understand it. Then all of them told me that we are leaving and will come back again, and then, they left. 


After the mystical experience, she felt body pain and headache, and then she went to sleep.

 

Hazrat Tayyiba Aliah Nasrine Saheba commented on this mystical experience against the backdrop of the longer history of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius, especially the signs received by early companions of the Khalifatullah (aba) in the very early days itself:

 

‘Masha Allah. Manifestation of angels and perfume. Alhamdulillah we also witnessed this at the start of the Divine Manifestation in Mauritius. Subhan Allah. Allah is showing you all, me included, how truthful His Khalifatullah is, that when you all keep firm with him and the Divine Manifestation, He will always shower down His blessings on you all, on us. Alhamdulillah.’
