| "Yesterday, as I slept, two persons came to me. They took me along with them. I was seeing a dream. When I reached a place, I saw a man was made to lie down. His head is being crushed by a rock by two people. He is being tortured, destroyed; he is made to suffer pain. A horrible scene to witness. I asked my associates "what is this scene?" As the head is crushed, another head comes into being. Then again it is crushed. On what basis is this punishment, I asked them. "Not now, Lets go ahead" they replied. As we reached another place, I saw a man was laid down and an iron rod was made to pull through flesh of his neck and mouth. I asked them "What is this? Please tell me." O Aminah's Beloved Son! There's no secret hidden from you. Is there a world in which you haven't reached? Is there a place where permission is denied to you? Is there a nook or corner you haven't reached? Is there a world where your face hasn't shone? Of what taste is the world, if you weren't there? Of what fun is earth and skies, if you weren't born? No. These are nothing. You are the center of all lights, O Prophet. Hai Munawwar Noor-Ahmed Se Zameen-o- Aasmaan! Prophet saw many things. He didn't tell us everything... "If you'd known all the things I've known, you would laugh little and weep much" said our Guide, Hero, our leader in all respects, the Rose of the World, The vastness of the skies, the silence of the earth-Prophet Muhammad (may my soul depart for him). Prophet continues "I went further and saw a cave with a narrow opening. Naked men and women were burnt in the fire in the cave. They try to escape. But cannot. "Please tell me who are they". "Not now. Later, let us go". I went on. I saw a stream full of red color. A man was seen drowning in it. As he tries to come to the bank of the river, another man standing on the bank strikes him with stones crushing his face. Unable to bear this scene, I enquired about this unbearable suffering. But my associates asked me to go ahead. I went on. I saw a man running about a huge furnace. A huge fire. One need not ask about the man. A horrible form. A scary one. A cruel one. I asked my associates, "who is this frightening form". They took me to another garden. Beautiful flowers are seen. In midst of these flowers is seen a man. It was a pleasant and joyful scene. Many small children accompanied this man. I asked, "who is this handsome person. Please tell me?" “Not now. Let us go on".After traveling some distance, I saw a group of people. Half their bodies were handsome. But the other half was ugly. My associates asked them to take a bath in the nearby river, after which they were entirely good-looking. "What is this miracle". "Let us go on". Later we came across a tree. We climbed on it and continued the journey. After some time, I saw a beautiful palace. What a indescribable one. "What is this" I asked. "This is the palace of yours in Paradise, O Prophet?” "May I step in it". "It is not time yet. You have some more age in the earth. Only after that".I asked them "Then please tell me what are the events we saw. Please make me understand". They started describing one by one... "O Allah's messenger. The scene of crushing the head. We shall describe it. He is the one who has learnt Quran, but defied its commands. He slept at the time of Fard prayers. He had knowledge. He was intelligent. But his actions were opposite to Quran. When adhan was calling, he was sound asleep. With no relationship with his deen, he lived. This is the punishment he gets in the hereafter. "What about the man through whose flesh the rod was pulled?" Prophet asked. They replied "He is the man who backbites. From morning to evening, he spends time backbiting his fellow beings. He likes to eat the flesh of his brother. O Prophet! His job is to speak lies. His tongue is tired of lying. What about the men and women in the cave's blazing furnace. " They are the adulterers and adulteresses." "What about the man in the river who was stoned while trying to climb up"? "He is the usurer. His livelihood was interest". Let the Business class of Muslim Ummah keep this in mind. Keep this very well in mind. There are many that belittle the seriousness of this issue. This is a serious warning to them. A serious threat to their life-hereafter. If they fear Allah, fear Hell, let them keep this in mind. Interest business takes place very well in the Muslim world. With very attractive, eye catchy ads, it is projected as the best source of easy money making. But no matter how much attractive it may look, interest dealing is a major sin. "What about the next scene, who is that running around the furnace." My associates said, "He is the guardian of hell, Malik . He is the person with the terrifying form" "Then tell me who is that handsome man seen smiling in the garden". "He is Prophet Ibrahim ". "Who are those children"? "They ere the young ones who died in their infancy. These children include even of non-believers. "You told me that the palace we saw belongs to me. Then let me ask you who are you people accompanying me"? Perhaps our dear Prophet might have got surprised on their reply," I am Jibreel . This is Mikael . We are bidding Farewell. Assalamu Alaikum, O Messenger of Allah". This was a dream to teach the Prophet , so that the world will learn from him. This was a specimen to teach us about the consequences for our actions on earth. Therefore no one is as capable as Prophet to teach as the subject of Hereafter. Science may give ample evidence for proving that the world has a serious end. But in reality, there is only one Teacher to teach us the discipline of hereafter, only one Lecturer to brief us on Hereafter in the halls of our hearts, and that is Prophet Muhammad .
