Q 9: I am a woman who offers all the obligatory Salah at their due times. Every night, I dream that I did not offer `Isha' (Night) Prayer and I wake up terrified. I ask my children whether I offered this Prayer or not. They tell me that I offered it at its due time or shortly before I went to bed. Although I do not miss (Part No. 24; Page No. 381) any Prayer, I dream that I did not offer some Prayers or `Isha' (Night) Prayer. Please, explain this dream, may Allah reward you!

A: This dream and the like come from Satan. You should pay no attention to these dreams, and recite the Ayah of Kursy (Allah’s Throne) once, Surah Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu`awwidhatayn (Surahs Al-Falaq and Al-Nas) three times each before going to bed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered that if any one sees a disturbing dream, let him spit to his left three times, seek refuge in Allah from Satan and the evil of what he has seen, change the side on which he sleeps, and not tell people about it, then it will not harm him.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
