Answer:
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.119 Narrated
by Abu Huraira
I heard Allah's Messenger (saws) saying, "Nothing is left of
the prophetism except ‘Al-Mubashshirat’." They asked, "What are
‘Al-Mubashshirat’?" He (saws) replied, "The true good dreams (that
conveys glad tidings)."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.144 Narrated
by Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "When the Day of Resurrection
approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream
of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and whatever belongs to
prothetism can never be false." Muhammad bin Sirin said, "But I say
this." He said, "It used to be said, 'There are three types of
dreams: The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has during
wakefulness, what is suggested by Shayttan to frighten the dreamer, or glad
tidings from Allah.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 9.123 Narrated
by Anas
The Prophet (saws) said, "Whoever has seen me in a dream,
then no doubt, he has seen me, for the Shaytaan cannot imitate my shape."
Allah-o-Akbar! Allah-o-Akbar! Allah-o-Akbar! Dear and Beloved Sister in Islam, our sincere
and heart-felt congratulations and felicitations to the fortunate believers
whom The Merciful Lord has chosen to give glad tidings in their dreams. There is absolutely no doubt that the dream
described is indeed a beautiful dream and message of glad tidings from Allah
Subhanah.
Al-Muwatta Hadith 2.29
Yahya related Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah (saws) went
to the burial grounds and said, "Peace be upon you, home of a people who
believe! We shall be among you, Allah willing.
I wish that I had seen our brothers!" The people with him said, "O Messenger
of Allah! Are we not your
brothers?" "No," he (saws) said, "You are my companions.
Our brothers are those who have not yet come. And I will precede them to the
Hawd. (The Hawd: the watering place of the Prophet (saws) from which he will
give to the people of his community on the day of rising.)" They asked
him, "O Messenger of Allah! How will you recognize those of your community
who come after you?"
He (saws) said, "Doesn't a man who has horses with white
legs and white blazes on their foreheads among totally black horses recognize
which ones are his own?" They said,
"Of course, O Messenger of Allah."
He (saws) went on, "Even so will they come on the day of rising
with white marks on their foreheads, hands and feet from wudu, and I will
precede them to the Hawd. Some men will be driven away from the Hawd as if they
were straying camels and I shall call out to them, 'Will you not come? Will you
not come? Will you not come?' and someone will say, 'They changed things after
you,' so I shall say, 'Then away with them, away with them, away with them!'

Dear and
Beloved Sister in Islam, the water that you were given at the hands of the
Noble Prophet (saws) in your blessed dream is none other than the water from
the ‘Hawd Kawthar’, which will only be
given to the fortunate believers at their entry into Paradise! Allah Subhanah is our witness, there is no
better glad tiding that can be given to a living believer, than a tiding of
entering
Dear and
Beloved Sister in Islam, the only shortcoming in the dream is your sitting in a
wheelchair, as it probably connotes a slight weakness in your efforts in the
deen. You must try to identify this
small weakness and strive your utmost to eliminate this shortcoming.
You must
remain and manifest your extreme gratitude and thankfulness to the Merciful
Lord for having bestowed this tremendous honor upon you in the form of a good
dream, and re-double your efforts in doing more and more good deeds that would
make you even more deserving of this gracious honor.
All the
brothers and sisters on this forum, and indeed every true believer on this
earth would willingly sacrifice all that they have to be given the honor that
Allah Subhanah has chosen and bestowed upon you in the form of a glad tiding in
a dream. This dream is indeed a great
great honor (I really am at a loss of words in the English language that would
describe the enormity of this honor!), and Allah Subhanah Alone Knows who
amongst His believing slaves best deserves this Grace and Mercy from Him. Such is the un-ending Bounty and Grace of
Allah, and He bestows it based on His Perfect Knowledge and Wisdom on whomever
He Wills and Pleases.
We once
again offer you our sincere and heartiest congratulations and felicitation for
receiving and deserving this greatest of all honors; and pray that Allah
Subhanah increase His favors upon you and your loved ones.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
