Question:
I had a dream 15 years ago, and I can’t understand. I saw myself in Blessed feet of Prophet (saw). It was a room made of mud and had no doors and windows. There were 9 covered wells. A veiled Jew was showing them. I was afraid for safety of Prophet (saw).
Answer:
The dream appears to point to two teachings; one is personal for yourself, and the other is general about endtimes.
Seeing oneself with the Prophet, upon him the blessings and peace of Allah, is a sign that one will not leave this life except as a Muslim in sha Allah. In this respect the dream is the best possible good news for you and you should celebrate it for the rest of your life.
The rest is a reference to the story of our liegelord the Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), upon him blessings and peace, and his half-brothers, 9 of whom plotted to kill him and later almost did until the 10th persuaded them not to on both occasions. The 11th is his innocent full brother Benyamin and, like the 10th, is not represented. The wells represent life and divine election, but their wells were covered up because their status of Prophets — following their repentance from their crime — is a disputed point (denied by most Muslim scholars) and a secret known to Allah Most High. The veiled Jew is a representation of all those from Ahl al-Kitab (Jews and Christians) whose ultimate state of being guided to Allah is also suspended, as of yet unknown, and subject to the return of the Prophet `Isa (Jesus), upon him blessings and peace, the continuation of his life on earth, and his actual death, before which time such veils will be removed and the status of the agnostic will be clear as mentioned in the Qur’an (al-Nisa’ 4:159). And Allah knows best.
