maulana, agla sawal hyderabad se aaya hai mr zeeshan ka. unhon ne aapse poocha hai: "What is the significance of interpretation of dream? How much importance does it hold in Islam?" dekhen, bukhari mein riwayat hai is par. aksar kitabon mein riwayat woh hoti hai, bab hota hai kitab al-ruya. hadith ki kitabon mein baqayda kitab al-ruya hota hai. bukhari mein bhi hai. toh hadith mein aata hai ke khwab nabuwat ka chaliswan hissa hai. matlab ek juz hai.

toh islam mein is ki bohat ahmiyat hai khwab ki. lekin khwab ke mutalliq teen qism ke khwab hain hadith ke mutabiq. hadith al-nafs, hadith al-shaitan, basham allah. yani kuch khwab aise hote hain jo aap dil mein hain, woh is ko dekh liya aadmi ne. khwab ki shakal mein dekh liya. ek yeh hai ke shaitan darata hai, woh khwab ban kar aaya aadmi ke duaon ko. aur doosra allah ki basharat. toh jo aadmi khwab dekhta hai, woh khud is ki nature ko samjhe toh jaan lega ke teeno mein se kis category ka tha is ka khwab.

yani takhfif shaitan tha ya basham allah tha ya hadith al-nafs tha. toh khwab bilashuba bohat aham hai islam mein. lekin khwab ki teen qismein hoti hain. maulana, un ka ek aur sawal hai. unhon ne likha hai: "My friend says that he cannot resist the temptation of dancing to the tune of any good music.
