Assalamo Alaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatuhu
In this dream Qasim says that I saw a huge room in which there was a giant paint board on the wall. There were many different pairs of paints and brushes and I saw three or four cows grazing on grass. Then suddenly Allah ﷻ had ordered me to draw a painting exactly like the ones he had shown me in dreams. I started painting from one side and I was drawing exactly the way Allah ﷻ wanted. Then I slowly started getting tired after I used up a lot of my strength. I ended up only painting half of the board. I told myself “how I can't draw anymore than this.”
I was so exhausted. I only completed half of the painting. But the other half was still remaining. In all hopelessness, I left the painting. And started to walk to the other side of the room where there was a door. I took one final glance at the painting that I made. I said to myself that “I tried my best to obey Allah ﷻ but I just couldn't finish the task that he gave me.”
In that exact moment Allah ﷻ ordered the cows to complete the remaining half of the painting. And to my amazement those cows picked up a brush in one of their front legs and started painting. I was confused thinking, how did these cows become so intelligent? I ran towards them but they were painting so fast that they finished by the time I got there and then they went back to eating grass. When I tried talking to them they didn't respond. And the painting was so beautiful that it got famous throughout the entire world. People were praising me saying, Qasim is a great artist. I said “no rather all praise belongs to Allah ﷻ and Allah ﷻ is the best of fashioners.”
And then Allah ﷻ Himself made a huge and magnificent painting. No one had ever made a painting like this before. And then Allah ﷻ wrote my name on the corner. The people had no words for it except “Subhan Allah” glorified be Allah. The people thought I was an amazing painter and the media was asking me where I got this idea from. I remained silent but in my heart I knew that Allah ﷻ had made this painting. He wished to honour me by giving me the credit. In that dream when I saw that painting even I had no words except “Subhan Allah.”
The dream ended there.
Walaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatuhu
