Description :
The Vision of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is the greatest gift in this world. From the time of the Sahaba to the present-day, the Prophet of Allah, – like a loving father – has never ceased feeling worried and concerned about his umma, appearing in the dreams of his followers to communicate with them directly.
This book presents the stories of people who saw a vision of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, across various eras in a variety of circumstances. It then lays out time-tested techniques to see a vision of the Noble Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from the Spiritual Masters of Islam passed down from generation to generation, teacher to seeker.
Muhammadan Visions stands as a testament to the intimate connection the Holy Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had – and continues to have – with his umma, and perhaps the writing of our authors, Ustadh Abdul Aziz and Shaykh Hassan Shaddad Ba 'Alawi, will help to restore this connection at a time when our need for connecting to the Muhammadan presence has never been greater.
