Dunno anything about intutions :/
Yeah but I have heard about dreams.It is said by scholars that dream are of 3 types 1. Meaningless,just due to some inner thoughts and stuff
2. Devil playing with us.(Usually nightmares,one should seek istiadh when such dreams occur.
3.Dreams which actually have some meaning and interpretetion,good dreams which are from Allah.
No one knows the unseen except Allah.
Allah knows best.
hmm point taken indeed, but the question is, is there any "dreams" of the third classification? I ask because if i think there is, there are many who will say your wrong because they believe that the third classification is no more due to the end of prophethood, which is a valid point.
Assalaam walaikum,
You know what. I was thinking.
We as Muslims do not do much with intuition. When we sense something..we address this with other Believers. We make sure that which we are feeling is in accordance with the rational and the sane. We use hadeeth and the Quran to help us understand what the source of the intuition is.
Brother I do not think we use the word intuition much in the Quran. We have the word inspiration and revelation.
Hmm i was just wondering if it did exist because well if it did, i could rationalize my aspiration like that, i was wondering if the third classification (intuition given by God) exist? Also didn't the very act or working defintion of the the words inspiration and revelation ended with prophet hood? So then what else could it be but intution?
Assalaam walaikum,
Hey brother,
When you get a chance lets try to discuss your question. How this got to nightmares is beyond me.
Lets get back to the Quran..it is a little more instructive. Let us regain some semblance of intellect here.
Jazakallah khairan on your tips to end my nightmares but actually I think maybe I misrepresented! My nightmares are not that frequent and I dream every night but when it is a nightmare usually its very intense and very realistic and usually involves someone I love being killed in front of me with me being helpless to stop it from happening. A few months ago it was my daughter and last night it was my husband.
I am covered every night and I pray all of my prayers and read Surah Al Mulk every night before going to bed so I dont understand why it happens.
Sister Hayat84 I had to smile at the first lines of your response! Since the dreams are about people being killed I certainly hope that isnt the solution to whatever problem I have!
Sister Aapa it turned to a conversation about nightmares because the thread starter (brother True_Sultan) mentioned dreams in his third post and brother kashif_nazeer began talking about what he has heard about dreams. It might be helpful to read all the posts before commenting if there is any confusion as to how the conversation seemed to have gone off topic.
wa salam
Sure, I would love to continue the subject at hand, we can continue or PM don't matter to me, tho continuing to post may befit and help alot more in the community
Also I don't mind the subject being thrown around, the information that was given about dreams may have been vital to some, so i don't mind
Assalaam walaikum,
Sister, I know.
What happens on threads like this is we get carried away with jinns and things that go bump in the night. Lions and tigers and bears oh my!
What I am trying so hard to impress is for our brother to understand that Islam is much more than mere intuition. Islam is complete use of intelligence.
What the brother needs to do is spend time on understanding Fiqh. Islam urges us to use the middle path.
Intuition is riddles with feelings and sensuality. The senses can confuse us. Thus we have to collaborate and find consensus. The brother needs to discuss his question within the scope of Islam.
When we have the revealed and true word of Allah to guide us why would we rely on our senses.
Does this make sense to you sister?
You do make a very valid point as so does sister Isra, but didn't some say that the Fiqh is sometimes not clear cut? I believe we should speak of it within the scope of Islam, but to a more specific scope with trust able sources. Also just like intellect, intuition is also what is needed, intuitions just like emotions defines the pinnacle of our free will.
