Nothing has remained of Prophethood except Mubashirāt 131<br />

As a result, how is it possible for us <strong>to</strong> take the word ru’yā so<br />

lightly? In view of the experiences of the Holy Prophet sa in this<br />

ru’yā or isrā’, it can be said that a ru’yā can contain the high and<br />

lofty features of prophethood. It is a part of the essence of<br />

prophethood. It has so many heights that one cannot imagine.<br />

Consider this hadīth narrated by Hazrat Ayesha ra :<br />

نa ِ<br />

a aوم aہ aاالله aاالله<br />

‏َّو<br />

ُ وْ‏ َ<br />

َّ ا اaa ُ ْ م<br />

aبِہِ‏ aر لُ‏<br />

أول َ ا aبُدِ‏ ئَ‏<br />

‏َاaا ‏ِحَ‏ ۃ<br />

ْ ا‏ْو aارُّ‏ ِ ؤ<br />

a<br />

َ ْ ح<br />

“The commencement of the Divine Wahī [Revelation]<br />

<strong>to</strong> Allāh’s Apostle sa was in the form of ar-ru’yā assālihah…<br />

127<br />

Another narration is:<br />

نa ِ<br />

ُ َ ولُ‏<br />

َّ ادِ‏ اaa ُ ْ م<br />

aبِہ aر<br />

أول َ ا aبُدِ‏ ئَ‏<br />

‏َاaا<br />

اوَ‏ حِ‏ aارَّ‏ ؤ<br />

‏َۃ<br />

aاالله<br />

a aوم aہ aاالله <br />

‏َّو<br />

ْ<br />

a<br />

ْ<br />

The commencement of the Divine Wahī [Revelation] <strong>to</strong><br />

Allāh’s Apostle sa was in the form of ar-ru’yā assādiqa…<br />

128<br />

In other words, ar-ru’yā as-sāliha was a part of the wahī or<br />

revelation of the Holy Prophet sa . How can we ever take it so<br />

lightly?<br />
