Question:
Salam,
I dreamt that my friend who was killed a few months ago phoned me. In the dream I asked ‘how? You are no longer here’ he said ‘no I am not dead, somebody tried to kill me but I am alive, I am just hidden from the world’ what does this mean?
Answer:
وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ
{But do not think of those that have been slain in God’s cause as dead. Nay, they are alive! With their Sustainer have they their sustenance} (Al-Imran, 3:169)
