@Fraudz

if one sees the prophet in his dream and the prophet says 'Dont worry, I will be looking after you' and soon after that the person faces a major tragedy, what does that mean. just curious i also read somewhere that one should not share dreams openly..dunno whats the basis of that, what does that mean. what if you see a dream in which you become shaheed?

Respected Brother

Regarding your first querry, there is a Hadith quoted by Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), that Holy Prophet (MPBUH) said, "Anyone who has seen me, verily he has seen the HAQ, as Shaitan cannot come in my shape". Another one goes like this, "Anyone who sees me, will not see sadness and worries, verily, the TAWIL of my vision is salvation in hereafter". So if anyone who after such visions faces a tragedy, it can have following meanings;
1. That Holy Prophet (MPBUH) will look after that person after that tragedy.
2. Or Holy Prophet (MPBUH) will grant strength to that person to withstand the aftermaths of that tragedy.
3. Or that tragedy is actually from Allah and the patience which that person will show, is a sign of his salvation in the hereafter.

Regarding your second part, I agree with you that such visions should not be told to anyone except those who are pious or who know sometnig about Ilm-ul-Roya i.e., interpretation of dreams.

Regarding your last part, the Shahadat has different interpretations. e.g.,
1. Literal interpretation is that the person will attain martydom in the way of Allah.
2. Another interpretation is for those who are fighting against Nafs and are attached to a spiritual silsila. For them it means that their Nafs-e-Lawama will attain martydom and it would convert into Nafs-e-Mut-ma'ina.
3. Another interpretation is that the person will have a long life.
4. Another interpretation is that the in hereafter, he will be with Shaheeds.

Wassalam.
