Hungry Lions and Allah's Help
March 2015
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
Assalamo Alaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatuhu
In this dream, I was in my old home and everything was broken and there was no light. I said "maybe it's written in my destiny to live in this darkness forever." But then Allah appeared on his throne and said "Qasim! For how long will you keep on living in this Darkness? Come out of your home and search for the place of my mercy and blessings. A place with no darkness and sadness." I immediately left my house in happiness thinking how kind is Allah that he came to take me out of this darkness.
I travelled a small distance until I saw 8 or 10 hungry big size lions roaring. I ran back to my house frightened and slammed the door behind me. I say, "Oh Allah! There are 8, 10 big hungry lions outside, they will eat me raw." Then Allah said "believe me none of them can touch you." I looked outside of the window searching for lions, at the same time, 3 terrifying dogs appeared running towards me and were barking ferociously. I run backward fell back on my rear. Those dogs struck the metal barrier on the window and fell down outside. I say to Allah that “look, these dogs have attacked me and you say that no hungry lion can reach me?" I sat down on the corner of the wall and Allah became angry and struck those dogs with lightning and they died right there. Allah said "Qasim! Either you obey my command or live in this darkness forever. Trust me, I will protect you and make you reach your destiny and Qasim! I am all-powerful in what I do". Allah went away and I kept laying there thinking about what I should do. Then I thought no matter what I do, death will still reach me. Its better I die outside and then die in this darkness. And as Allah says that, I will protect you and will bring you to your destination, then I should trust in Allah.
I had no other option, so I took Allah's name and left the house in fear and terror. I even left the door open so I can easily run back. I slowly went forth in extreme caution at first. I didn't see any of the lions. Then ahead, I saw the detached arm of a lion. I thought who could possibly kill such a scary lion. Going a little further, I see the head of a lion and the body of another one. Seeing this, I say that "no one can do this except Allah."
I saw a huge building and I climbed its roof to search for Allah. I saw the Nur (light) of Allah going somewhere and I ran after it. When I reach the Nur, it disappeared. The Nur of Allah was so captivating that I came to realize that I was on the ground. I became shocked thinking why didn't I fall? I realized indeed, Allah was holding me the entire time. I felt very excited and I called out to Allah saying "where are you"?
Then Allah said the name of my destination and said "Qasim! I am here, come quickly." With energy, I looked at that area thinking I have to get to Allah. Then I saw a large, black coloured luxury motorcycle. I drove it but the road was filled with mud which slowed me down. I wish the road was good so I could drive it fast. When I said this, a black-coloured carpet road came out of the earth and spread forth. I became happy and drove my bike at full speed, reaching my destination.
It is a magnificent building, like a magnificent farmhouse where people go for walks and entertainment. I am very happy and I go inside. The atmosphere inside is very calm and peaceful. It seems as if no one has come here for centuries but its colour is a little bit faded. Looking ahead, I see that someone had freshly painted the building and it felt like Allah was going to flourish the building again and make it new.
There I also see halal animals such as deer etc. I went from one room to another and then reached a large hall. And in that hall was the Nur of Allah. Allah said "Qasim! did I not tell you that I would bring you here safely?" I said to Allah that "you made your statement come true and you showed me the way. You took me out of darkness and you brought me to light. Indeed, you are the best guider. Now I will take a shower tomorrow morning and will complete rest of my work, and then I will inform you about my completion." Allah replied in a serious tone saying "Qasim! if you complete all your work by tomorrow then, I will establish Qiyama (day of judgement) in the evening".
