SLEEP THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM AND GRANT HIM PEACE) tells us, is the twin brother of death. Yet, he informs us that in the last days, a believers dream will hardly prove false," and that "good dreams are the believer's early glad tidings in this life." What glad tiding then, is better than beholding in one's dream the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)?

This unique collection, taken from Imam Yusuf al-Nabahani's monumental Sa'adat al-darayn fi al-salat 'ala Sayyid al-kawnayn (Felicity in the Two Abodes Through Prayers upon the Master of the Two Realms – may Allah bless him and grant him peace), details forty tried and true methods for seeing the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in a dream. Gleaned from the works of the early and later spiritual masters, this collection is a veritable treasury of Gnostic expressions of prophetic love and longing. Each supplication is presented in its original Arabic along with its translation and transliteration.

Imam Yusuf b. Isma'il al-Nabahani (1265–1350 ah), hadith scholar, Sufi, jurist, judge, and biographer, was born in Beirut, Lebanon. A prolific author, al-Nabahani left behind a staggering collection of works in hadith, fiqh, theology, and most famously, poetry and prose in praise of our master Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Al-Nabahani was a paragon of prophetic love ('ishq) and his works continue to exercise a profound influence on popular Muslim spirituality.

Whoever beholds the Chosen One (al-Mustafa) in a dream shall receive a good end at death (Husn al-khatima); he shall gain the Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) Intercession and win unto Paradise; Allah will forgive him and his parents (if they were Muslims); it will be as if he completed the Quran twelve times; the pangs of death will be made easy for him to bear; the torment of the grave shall be removed from him; he will enjoy security from the terrors of the Day of Standing; and with Allah's subtle kindness and generosity, all of his needs in this life and the Next will be fulfilled.
