People who have passed on - they still need us.

A few days ago I had a dream about my Dada who communicated to me that I should pray for him (bakhsh him) and that if I did he would attain a higher place in heaven. So the next day I read Yasin for him.

I just got this in an email from a friend of a friend who’s nephew had a dream about his grandfather. This just happened recently. This boy is a hafiz and couldn’t get over the death of his grandfather until he had this dream.

“Ever since my beloved grandfather passed I was always wishing that i could meet him one last time. I knew that I would never be able to see him in person one-on-one again because he had left this Earth. Every time before I slept I would just ask that I hope I get to meet him this time in my dream. Well today, Thursday, Febuary 17, 2005 things were a little different. I never got to meet him, but what happened was much better. I was just lying down on the family room 3 seater sofa after Asr and I happened to doze off and all of a sudden I was in like a totally different place. I was in a car driven through baren land with another person with, not quite knowing who he was. We passed a cemetary and I asked him if I could get off and do Ziarat (read Surah Fatiha and do Dua). All the graves were flat, except one which I saw had a slite hill on it, it looked like the person that was in it was burried recently. I went to the grave and did Ziarat, as I was leaving I heard a voice say “When you did that I got brand new clothes which smelled really good from Jannah.” He went on to say “O Hafiz saab, I wish I could give you somthing from here, but I can’t because you are not in the same world as me.” I began to walk because it looked like it was going to rain, then a voice called out “Don’t go I have to talk to you this is for you.” Then all these white flowers came down from the sky as far as my eye could see. He then said “Smell it” I did, it was such a beautiful sweet smell. " He then said “All those are equal to the flower beside me.” He then said " Tell people not to cry because I feel the pain, but when you do Dua and pray then I get beautiful things from Jannah and I feel good”. He went on to say "I don’t feel as if I am in my grave, rather it is like I am in a place which I have earned and a place I have always wanted to be."As I was leaving I woke up. "

^ what a lemmin.

IMO all sadaqa jariya actions effect the souls of marhooms, as they are in a state of barzakh. Every thursday eve. we read sura yasin for ishale sawab of marhoomins. Our actions can effect them and thats real nice to know actually, that its not be all and end all, in terms of your sawab/gunnah, once your dead.

Last year I saw my grand mother (daadi) in my dream. She asked me not to do certain things (like she used to ask when she was alive). I asked her ke daadi how do you know if I do those things still, she said that we know a lot up there.

I dont know if such dreams hold some importance or are just random dreams but that dream made me miss her a lot and I avoided doing somethings like she asked me to.

Afia, Ma Mooli, I never quite realised that myself. MM really good that you remember to do that every Thursday. It's the least we can do.

Saby, sometimes we think maybe its our subconscience, but sometimes you know when you have to pay heed to your dreams.
