#Dream #GladTidingsofVictory
Background: A sister had this dream 2 years ago. The husband of the sister is imprisoned.
DREAM:
The sister sees herself washing clothes in a place that is more of a famine ground, as though it is Baghouz. There are just women and children in the camps. Due to the great calamity and hardship, there is silence and emptiness. Everybody is living their own lives not mingling with each other.
As she hangs the clothes on the line to dry, the clothes keep falling and getting dusty. It falls three times and each time, she washes once more and hangs them.
From the side, she notices a small river. She sees some brothers attempting to build a ship with bamboo sticks. The purpose of building the ship is so that the Muslims can embark on it to safety. She thinks to herself, ‘how will they succeed with these weak sticks? Surely they will not get anywhere.’
She then sees the brothers from the prisons, all rushing out towards their families to give them glad tidings.
A battle had taken place and they managed to open the prison and escape. Another huge opening also took place around that time.
The sister is now a spectator, she’s not in the dream. she watches them rush towards the families. The brothers and her husband in particular are reading:
{ ۞ لِّلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ وَزِیَادَةࣱۖ
(For them who have done good is the best [reward] and extra. )
When they reach this ground, the land comes to life, there is so much barakah and joy.
Her husband then tells his family how they succeeded in this fight by raising the takbirat which put fear in the hearts of the enemy and resulted in them (the enemies) fleeing.
She later sees the believers all embarking on the ship that she saw earlier. Even though it appeared weak, it could take so many people.
