Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim
"In a dream that Allah showed me, I was on a flying carpet with Isa ibn Maryam, and Isa ibn Maryam was looking around in all directions and I looked down and only beautiful gardens and the waters of rivers branching out. And cascading waterfalls and we looked at each other in all directions and Isa ibn Maryam looked at me with gentleness and courtesy.
Isa said, 'Aren't you afraid O Ruqhoyya?' I replied, 'Allah watches over me yaa Isa', and he smiled and I smiled. And I asked, 'Where are we going O Prophet of Allah?' Isa replied, 'I am taking you to a beautiful and extraordinarily handsome man whose life is very sad and wasted. And I saw how a little man was in the desert with his brother and they walked to one place and put his brother in a well and they did it together.
And the first brother had put his brother in with the second brother, and the third, and the more they looked at fiercely and they went home and there was a child looking up to the sky wishing he could get out of it and I felt sad to see him. And Isa said, 'That is the result of jealousy in the family of Ruqhoyya, they will forget their brother but anger and lust 'devil' deceives the heart and they are brothers who envy each other and envy their brother'.
And I sadly remembered one thing so Allah exiled me. And we arrived at our destination, and to my astonishment we were greeted by two men and a woman.
And the woman wore a beautiful veil and her eyes were beautiful, she smiled at me. And a very handsome man and I looked at him unblinkingly and saw his face in amazement. Masha-Allah, he was the Prophet Joseph, and I went aside with Mother Zulaikha and took me to her garden of fruits, and her garden of flowers, and I did not let go of my eyes looking at the Prophet Joseph talking with Isa.
And Mother Zulaikha drew me and entered her palace and it was beautiful with buildings whose columns were high and very beautiful, I felt alone in this house because it was spacious and beautiful. And Mother Zulaikha placed a fruitful drink on her table. And I looked in amazement at all sides of their palace.
And the Prophet Yusuf entered and the Prophet Isa. And Isa said, 'O Ruqhoyya, you are in Joseph's palace, behold the beauty of it, and I am amazed to see them happy.
And the Prophet Yusuf said, 'O Ruqhoyya! Verily we were waiting for your arrival, Allah mentioned your name and We all heard it'. And I wept upon hearing it. And Yusuf said, 'Be patient, for what you are going through, one day you will meet your brothers and will be gathered with all the brothers and Allah will exalt you with His Rahman'. And Mother Zulaikha wiped my tears and I bowed before them.
And Mother Zulaikha said, 'O Ruqhoyya! All our griefs go to Allah, all our sorrows go back to Allah and hold on to Allah, pursue the love of Allah and Allah will make us the only one in view, and there is no partner in the love of Allah, and obey the Call of Allah even if you do not like it (His destiny), it is good for Allah only we do not know', and I just nodded and she said, 'One day you will be in the jannah of Allah with Isa ibn Maryam in eternity and you will be with your loved ones'.
And I said, 'Aameen yaa Allah, yaa Mujiib'. And Isa looked at me gently and said, 'O Ruqhoyya! One day everyone will know who you are and keep helping Allah and you are a 'Witness of Allah', and Allah is taking care of you. And I was very happy to hear that and replied, 'Aameen yaa Allah, yaa Mujiib'. And Isa said, 'He is Ruqhoyya my beloved son, I do not want to harm him'.
And Isa said, 'I saw his suffering from on high and all those on the 'Left Front' were making fun of him and only a few were on the 'Right Front' of the Call of Allah. I had seen Ruqhoyya in my dreams and Allah brought us together when he was lost in my jannah. And Yusuf laughed and Zulaikah said, 'I saw a man in my dreams and he was very handsome, he turned out to be my husband after I had made many mistakes. Indeed he came to my palace and I was amazed at him. The half full moon was on his face and the full full moon was on Muhammad your father'.
And we laughed, and Isa said, 'I saw much sorrow in Ruqhoyya in dreams, indeed he never saw me in his dreams, but it was I who dreamed. When I gave her a 'letter' from Allah, she did not look at me but she accepted the letter I gave her and ran and left me'. And they laughed together, Zulaikha said, 'pursue the love of Allah, Allah will not waste your love on him'.
Isa said, 'What is the content of the letter O Ruqhoyya?' And I said, 'Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim, Wa Ilaahukum Ilhuwwahid Laa Ilaaha Illa Huwarrahmanurrahiim', and they said simultaneously, 'Aamiin yaa Allah, yaa Wadud'. [Prophet Yusuf:] 'Indeed Allah loves you O Ruqhoyya!' And Prophet Yusuf Smiled in amazement and I saw his face smiling. 'Allah sent a letter to him and I am his mailman and I am really like a mailman'. And they laughed.
And we said goodbye and Prophet Yusuf said, 'One day we will visit you'. And Mother Zulaikah gave me a beautiful gift, and I couldn't see it and she said, 'Wear it next time you dream on the train', and I smiled, Masha-Allah, laughed. Really all these stories are very miraculous. And I hugged Mother Zulaikah's gift and went home with Isa and on the flying carpet I couldn't stop looking at the beautiful gift and Isa said, 'Keep it for the day you wear it verily I see it is a wedding garment'.
And I blushed and we got to my house by Isa's side and I couldn't wait to open it. It was a beautiful dress with a reddish color and it had beads like little pearls and I tried it on with Mother Maryam's shawl and it matched perfectly and Isa said, 'Keep it in your room and Isa with a smile went to her jannah and said, 'Indeed Allah has made you part of me and we are together in this jannah'.
And he smiled and left and I put it in my room and kept the clothes. And I wanted to get out of there and go to my house and I was awake and thinking about this story it was so beautiful. And remembering the dream on the train and Prophet Isa coming with his flying carpet, this is what it means now. Masha-Allah, Tabarakallah."
