Is the man you saw in the Prophet's Mosque, and felt was the Noble Messenger, truly the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Seeing the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream is possible, both religiously and rationally. Whoever sees him with his described attributes has truly seen him, because Satan cannot impersonate him. As for seeing him while awake, that is not possible, because the dead do not emerge from their graves until the Day of Resurrection, as Allah Almighty said: "Then indeed, after that you are to die. Then indeed, you on the Day of Resurrection will be resurrected." (Quran 23:15-16). Scholars have agreed that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions will not return to this world until they are resurrected along with all people.
