magnificent throne and claimed to be his Lord and then declared<br />

lawful for him that was unlawful to others. 459 When Shaytaan can<br />

play such tricks with people in a state of wakefulness then he can<br />

also claim to be the Lord or the Messenger in dreams.<br />

The Deobandis, at times, see Allah’s Messenger with a<br />

completely white beard and glasses 460 and at other with an<br />

English hat 461 ! The Fazaail-e-Aamaal mentions a dream of a man,<br />

who dreamt that Allah’s Messenger (allegedly) asked him to<br />

‘Drink Liquor’ 462 , an action which he strictly prohibited and made<br />

unlawful during his lifetime. Instead of rejecting such dreams as a<br />

trick from Shaytaan, Fazaail-e-Aamaal attributes this dream to<br />

Allah’s Messenger , but says that it should be interpreted<br />

differently. Even general dreams that are disliked 463 and<br />

frightening 464 are attributed to Shaytaan. It would be unjustice to<br />

attribute dreams that are sinful or against the Sharee’ah to Allah’s<br />

Messenger . Such dreams can be a cause of confusion and<br />

misguidance for the people!<br />

The innovation in the conditions of dream interpretation of the<br />

Deobandis goes on further than just attributing any unverified<br />

dream to Allah’s Messenger …<br />

“Whoever sees me then he has indeed, seen the Truth.” 465 to<br />

mean that the one who sees the Prophet, he has Indeed, seen<br />

Allah.” 466<br />
