Question

Please read the interpretation of a dream seen by Nabi Daanyaal (Alayhis salaam). Is this interpretation correct?

Answer

The interpretation of the dream presented by some modernist is pure conjecture. It is unlikely that the dream of Nabi Daanyaal (alayhis salaam) about 4000 years ago could be referring to the British and Russian empires. The dream will have no benefit if this interpretation is accepted. Dreams of the Ambiya are Wahi. Far-fetched interpretations are not valid. Nabi Daanyaal (Alayhis salaam) must have explained meaning of the dream to his people. It was essentially for the guidance of his people. W h e n e v e r R a s u l u l l a h (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) saw a dream, he would explain it to the Sahaabah.

If the modernist's interpretation has to be accepted, it will follow that the dream of the Nabi was futile since it had no benefit for his people. Assuming that it was meant for people thousands of years later, then too, it is futile. No one attaches any importance or significance to the conjecture of a modernist thousands of years after Nabi (alayhis salaam), and that too after the demise of the British and Russian empires. There is simply no guidance in this interpretation for anyone. If the dream signified guidance for people thousands of years later, then Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would have presented an interpretation.
