Question
I was told that Nabi Ibraaeem (alayhis salaam) saw in a dream that he should sacrifice his son. I was under the impression that Allah Ta'ala had commanded him to make the sacrifice. Can such a sacrifice be made on the basis of a dream?
Answer
The dreams of the Ambiya are Wahi (Revelation from Allah Ta'ala). The dream of Nabi Ibraaheem (alayhis salaam) was a command from Allah Ta'ala. The dreams of the Ambiya do not require interpretation. They are in fact instructions from Allah Ta'ala.
