Some friends ask me questions about the visions I see, and I will answer them here in this article:
1- The visions I see are not daydreams or pre-sleep or between sleep and wakefulness fantasies, but visions that come to me while I am asleep.
2- The visions that I see, I wake up suddenly after the end of the vision, not in stages, and my eyes become open as if I am in the middle of the day and I remember the vision in all its details and often do not fall asleep afterwards.
3- The vision remains stuck in my mind for many years and I keep remembering it and do not forget it as happens with ordinary dreams, there are visions that I remember since 1992 and I remember their details accurately.
4- I try as much as possible to sleep in ablution. This does not mean that visions can only come to me in ablution, as I have had several visions while not sleeping in ablution.
5- Before going to bed, I recite Surah Al-Fatiha, Ayah Al-Kursi, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, recite Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and Al-Nas three times, and pray to the Prophet (peace be upon him).
6- The supplication I say before going to sleep is: "O God, I have entrusted my spirit, soul and body to You while I sleep, so do not let the devil lead me astray.
7- Most of the visions I see are not preceded by an Istikhara prayer in which I ask Allah (SWT) for something specific.
8- Visions are a blessing from Allah (SWT) that He bestows on His servants and have nothing to do with the number of acts of worship a person performs. I do not see myself at the pinnacle of religiosity, there are those who are much better than me and there are disbelievers and reprobates who have seen visions, such as Pharaoh.
If there are any more questions, I will add the answers to this post.
