Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Misbah-uz-Zulam, Roots of the Karbala’ Tragedy The Author’s Dreams Whatever the writer has written so far, was based on solid research and consisted of matter available in books. Those who desire to research themselves, can do so.

Now he shall present some points that are not concerned with any written book or document, but they are concerned with divine commands and they have changed the writer’s life to a religious life in which the love of the family of Prophet increases every moment, reaching to deliverance. This writer was busy in research for two or three years, until the day when he composed a couple of verses in praise of Amirul Mo-mineen (a.s.) and after composing them, he went to sleep.

In the dream, he saw Ali (a.s.) and he ran and clung to him, crying out aloud: “O Ali, I shall not leave your protection till Judgment Day and you also don’t leave me.” Then the writer paid allegiance at the Master’s hand and wept bitterly for a long time. Upon waking, he found his face wet with tears. From then onwards, the writer often recited those verses.

After another two years, again he had a dream, in which he was present in the attendance of Lady Fatima (s.a.) but she was speaking to him from behind the curtain as one speaks to a stranger. The writer humbly said: You are my great- grandmother and you are speaking to me from behind the veil?

Lady Fatima (s.a.) replied: “First you make yourself eligible for it.” It was explained that since the author had given up the faith of his ancestors, even Lady Fatima (s.a.) who was in fact his great-grandmother, spoke to him from behind the curtain. If he really wanted to see her as a son is blessed with the sight of his mother, he should give up his present faith and revert to the religion of his ancestors.

When he awoke, he became very anxious and this anxiety continued for sixteen years, after which he had the privilege of seeing his great-grandmother in a dream just as a son meets his mother in the world. During those sixteen years he obtained all the information about religion and converted to Shiaism. After these two dreams, the writer says: “I also saw the Holy Prophet (S) in a dream that he has come with His Eminence, Ali (a.s.).

Imam Hasan Mujtaba (a.s.) and Imam Husayn the Martyr of Karbala’ were also standing by the side and His Eminence, Ali (a.s.) was talking to them about something. I could only see the side pose of Imam Ali (a.s.).
