What is the interpretation of a Christian girl seeing murder crimes that later come true in their precise details, and how can she have a true vision when it is part of prophethood?
The dream of a disbeliever may rarely come true, like the dreams of the two prisoners and the king in the time of Yusuf (peace be upon him), the dream of Mobadhan, the minister of Kisra, before the advent of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the dream of Atikah, the aunt of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). This indicates that a true dream is not exclusively limited to the righteous believer, even though it occurs more frequently with them. People are divided into categories concerning this: - Prophets: All their dreams are true. - Righteous people: Most of their dreams are true. - Others: Their dreams contain both truth and jumbled visions. They are divided into: those of average piety (whose dreams are mostly straightforward), the wicked (whose dreams are mostly jumbled visions), and disbelievers (whose true dreams are rare).
The dreams of disbelievers that come true are not considered a part of prophecy. Prophetic parts pertain to the dreams of the righteous believer. As for the wicked person, their dream may be considered among the furthest parts, and the disbeliever's dream is not considered part of it at all. For indeed, insight into the unseen is a karamah (divine honor) granted to the truthful believer.
