Nothing But A Dream (A Good Story To Read!)

[*Proud_Muslimah*]

Assalamu Alaikum,

man once went to the public steam bath, where he stretched out on a slab and fell asleep. In his sleep he dreamed. A person exactly resembling himself entered the bath, taking the cubicle opposite. This man was being treated like someone rich and important. The dreamer went up to the cubicle door to get a closer look. He saw that the individual had died in there. The thought occurred to him, “suppose I change places with this fellow. If I swapped bath towels, I could pass for him.” He put this thought into action. When masseurs came in and saw the dead body lying on the slab, they cried, “Help! This man has gone and died here.” Then they carried him out.

Turning to the dreamer, they asked if he had sweated enough. He said that he had, so they washed him down and made him nice and clean. After leaving the bath, he went through the pockets of the dead man’s clothes, which he was now wearing. They contained thousands of dollars. He got into the car that came to take the other man home and went to his apartment. There several gorgeous ladies came up to him, saying. “You must be tired after your bath, but please take these bank drafts, it seems you have made a big profit from your estate in such and such place. They have sent the key to the villa you recently had built. And Madame would like to see you….”

At that moment, his face stinging from a hard slap, he found himself looking up at the scowling faces of the masseurs. “Get up, you loafer,” they snarled. “You’ve been lying here since morning. The bath is closing.” Then they threw him out into the street.

This man’s state is similar to the condition of people who live in this world without faith. What they see is nothing but a dream. When the angles of death come for these people’s souls, then they will realize they have nothing real!

Every self will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full on the Day of Rising. Anyone who is distanced from the Fire and admitted to the Garden has triumphed. The life of this world is just the enjoyment of delusion. (3:185)

Know that the life of this world is merely a game and a diversion and ostentation and a cause of boasting among yourselves and trying to outdo one another in wealth and children: like the plant-growth after rain which delights the cultivators, but then it withers and you see it turning yellow, and then it becomes broken stubble. In the hereafter there is terrible punishment but also forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure. The life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion. (57:20)

Who is there who could be a force for you, to come to your support, apart from the All-Merciful? The disbelievers are only living in delusion. (67:20)
