Question
Around 2 months ago, I saw a dream that my family and I were travelling to Madinah by car. But I am not sure if it was for religious purpose. Along the trip we stopped under a huge mountain (which r in live present along the road from Jeddah to Madina) to pray?there were many people there. I don?t remember this part very clearly, but I think Prophet Mohammed (SAW) was among those people?.although I never saw him?I just heard that he was there. But what I definitely remember is that I heard is name for sure. I know that this might not be a significant dream for Mufi People like you, but to me this dreams means a lot. So could pls specifically tell me how this dream relates to me? 1) You mention in your answers that things are prohibited, non-permissible and haram?what is the difference between these. 2) Also, I become very depressed when I hear about the horrific things which are happening against our Muslim brothers and sisters in the world?why isn?t Allah(SWT) helping them?.is Allah(SWT) not happy with our Ummah. 3) What can I as a Muslim Female do to help these brothers and sisters?am I allowed to start a petition? Could u pls kindly answer all my questions?.Jazakahllah Brother?and may Allah(SWT) be pleased with you.
Answer
Kindly resubmit your dreams after Hajj, as Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb is currently away.
1. Haraam is used in its technical meaning. The terms, 'prohibited' and 'non-permissible' are used more broadly and can be used for Haraam or Makrooh. If you have a doubt, please enquire with particular reference to which answer is meant.
2. Your concern is a sign of your Imaan. Allah Ta'ala has wisdom behind all affairs. At times, adversity is in the best interest of the slave. By means of these adversaries, true Mu'mineen are exposed from the Munaafiqeen. The sins of the Mu'mineen are wiped away by these calamities and their status elevated. They, thus, become deserving of Jannah without reckoning. Every Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) of Allah Ta'ala, as well as their companions went through untold trials and tests. This is our purpose here on earth. However, as far as the Aakhirat (hereafter) is concerned, success will lie only and only with the Mu'mineen.
3. If petitioning does not cause you to violate any of the laws of Purdah (Hijaab), then you may petition. However, generally, these avenues do not bear constructive fruit. You have underestimated the power of Du'aa. Your contribution through Du'aa is indeed valuable, and should not be deemed trivial. In brief, every act of obedience and worship from your side will be a means of drawing the mercy of Allah Ta'ala on this Ummah. Note: Avoid all forms of mass media, since these are designed to be negative and create despondency amongst the Muslimeen. There is a lot of good taking place as well, of which we are not exposed to.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
