because the wide spread and the omniscient knowledge of our universe, in every case, is the creation and it has no comparison with the Uncreated Essence. That the Foremost the Most Surpassing Essence is beyond the scope of the knowledge and the lack of knowledge of the creation.

You are the First, You are the Last,

You are the Inward as well as the Outward,

You are surrounding the whole creation with respect of Your Calibers,

And with respect of Your Essence, You are the All Holy and the All Autonomous.

O friend! Be certain that the human being can see the visible and invisible things of the universe through the Outwardly and Inwardly Eyesight of the Eye provided by Allah Almighty. A container can keep that much thing as much it has the capacity. However, if the jealous and vindictive persons do not mind, we can say that when the Liqaa and Beholding the Sight Matchless and Unique All Glorious Creator, before or after death, has been allowed as legitimate by the Shariyat, then what glory can be higher in the created and limited knowledge of the creation that it is not legitimate for it.

O Allah! I am Your Manifestation and my existence is through You,

Hence, You are not manifested unless I am and I cannot be if You are not.

[Khawaja Naseer]

We have fell in a long and endless discussion. Now we come again to our original topic of discussion.

Many people have been imparted some big learning and knowledge in dreams. Thus, some people were taught a long Surah of the Holy Quran by heart and when they wake up in the morning, that Surah remains in their memory for all the time to come. Moreover, some blessed persons were those who were taught the whole Holy Quran by heart and they became preservers of the Holy Quran in their bosoms when they woke up. It has been reported for some persons that they knew not how to understand and speak Arabic but when they got up in the morning, they started speaking and understanding Arabic and all the time spoke Arabic onwards. They say 'I was non-Arab when I slept but I was Arab when I woke up'.

Some people were Jaahil when they slept, but were Aalim when they woke up. It is also sometimes observed that a person got an injury in dream and when he got up, he clearly felt its pain. I saw person who was hurt on his leg in a dream and when he woke up, his one leg had got broken.

My personal experience is that when I was about thirty five years of age and when the Holy Ramadhan used to come in hot months of June July, I became ill and in order to keep a Fast, I went to a cool sight on a hillside in western side along with some friends but due to some reasons, I could not continue my stay there. Hence, we started traveling back before one or two days of the arrival of this month. We were some miles away from our house that nigh fell and the Ramadhan Moon was sighted. Though I was not feeling fit still and Fasts were due the next day besides a considerable traveling on foot the next day. I was wavering as to either I should intend for Fast or not. Anyway, I took a bold decision and intended to keep Fast and started traveling towards my house on foot. I felt severe thirst on the way which was crossing the limits of my endurance so much so that my mouth became dry.
