Maybe a bit weird question ...?

Question

Is there anything Muslims do when they have a dream about someone who died and who they were close with? I know this may sound silly to you, since I openly declare myself an atheist, but some years ago my boyfriend was killed in a car accident and last night I had a dream about him, after all these years. Now, he died a Muslim and I was wondering if maybe he would have liked me to do something for him. I respect that he died a Muslim and if it's going to be anything, then I'll do something Islamic as aign of respect and honour. So is there anything donein such cases? I think I remember my Grandma telling me that we should read the Surah Yaseen if we dream of someone dead. Is that correct?

Answer 1

Dear Poppy, I do believe our loved ones who have passed on contact us through dreams.  After my dear brother died, I would often dream about him.  He kept telling me not to be so sad and not to worry about him.  He told me he was finally happy and at peace.  This possibly could be simply wishful thinking on my part.  I don't think so.  If your boyfriend doesn't speak to you in your dream, I don't know how you would know if he wants you to do something.  I believe it may make you feel better if you do something nice for him or his family.

Great to see you out and about.  Hope you are recovering and will be back to your old self soon.

Answer 3

Maybe Debra's death has got you thinking about (and dreaming about) these types of things.  I think maybe an hour or two with a good grief counselor may be more helpful, my friend.

Answer 4

he may be wishing you also shud be died as a muslim not a atheist

Answer 5

yes, Surah Yaseen could be read for that person also pray May Allah forgive his sins and rest his soul in peace ameen~!

Answer 6

Yes you can recite  Sura Yaseen and make Dua for him and you be a believer.

Answer 7

Yaseen is read for rememberance because of hadeeth where the prophet says its the heart the quran.

However are you sure there aren't other issues,or feelings that may have caused you to remember your friend that died?Perhaps your subconscious is aware of something.

Answer 8

thats so beautiful! may he rest in peace

Answer 9

I never heard that..sorry

Answer 10

In the future, don't say things about Islam that you don't understand on Yahoo questions.

Answer 11

well actually you as a Christan  reading surah yaseen wont do him any good , but Muslims can read it on his soul and making duaa will help .But it is weird as a Muslim to have a girlfriend.
