THE MAGNIFICENT SCHOOL [2004] Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim

Qasim’s dream: I was living in a house, and one day I was talking to myself, Allah ﷻ was watching me from the sky and said

“Qasim what sort of life is this?, you don’t do anything special all day long.”
Then after some time Muhammad ﷺ, came to my home and made me sit next to Him ﷺ and said that, “Look Qasim l have got you admission into a nice school, you will go to school from tomorrow.”
And he passed his hand over my head and said, “Read and write in the school and then enlighten My ﷺ name throughout the world as it once was.”
I became very happy that Allah ﷻ listened to me.
Muhammad ﷺ got me admission in a school, and gave me the address of the school, and said that, ‘’Reach the school before 8 a.m tomorrow.’’
I said ‘’Ok I will reach the school on time ln shaa Allah.’’
Muhammad ﷺ did not give me any books. I had a few old books and I gathered them and pressed and prepared my clothes for the morning.
I was thinking that, ‘’It would be an ordinary school who is going to observe me there?’’
I woke up in the morning, and got ready, and went out of my home. A bit far from home came a road junction, and I could not remember where to turn from there.
Abu Bakr (r.a) was passing from there, and I stopped Him (r.a) to ask the address of the school.
Abu Bakr (r.a) became surprised hearing the name of the school, and looked at my state and asked, “why are you asking the address of that school?”
I said that, ‘’I have been given admission to that school and this is the first day of mine.’’
He (r.a) looked at my admission letter and said “Ma Shaa Allah.”
He (r.a) told me the way to the school and I started to go towards the school.
Now when I came near the school, my eyes widened with surprise, I said that ‘’How great is the building of this school.’’
And then I saw a few students who were wearing very nice clothes their bags were also very nice.
I thought that, ‘’Have I entered another school?,’’ then I looked at the name of the school, and no ‘’This was my school.’’
Then why did Muhammad ﷺ not tell me that this school is very amazing?
I became very confused after seeing all this and thought that, ‘’What is happening with me? My clothes are very ordinary and I have my books held into my hands and they are also very old.’’
Outside the school was a cafe area, I sat there, and a few students came there, and they sat on the table next to mine.
I was getting nervous by seeing them, one of them asked my name and I told him my name, one called me and asked me to sit with them.
I said to myself that, ‘’Qasim get ready they will make fun of you.’’
I sat with them and they talked to me very politely and asked me that, “Are you a new student here?”
I said “yes this is my first day here,” ane asked me “what will you eat?” I said that “I have already ate from home.”
They ordered juice and sandwiches for themselves and also ordered for me.
And said to me that, “Don’t get tense, we are taught here that we are all brothers, and we should take care of others like we take care of ourselves, and if you have any problem then tell anyone for he will help you.”
I thought that ‘’Subhanallah, the building of this school is amazing just like the students.’’
But I was being effected by low self esteem, I was becoming very ashamed.
Then the school bell rang, and every student started to go towards the main gate and they told me to go with them also.
I said to them that “You all go, I will go alone.”
When they were all gone, then I started to walk towards the main gate slowly and said that, “What has just happened with me?”
‘’Muhammad ﷺ did not tell me that this school is very extraordinary and its students, their clothes and their bags, what should I do now?’’
‘’Every student in the class is wearing nice clothes, and only I am wearing old and torn clothes, my books are also old and rotten, and my shoe is also made out of plastic and broken.’’
After saying this I closed my eyes and said that, ‘’It is better to go home than to be ashamed’’, but then I felt like the books just vanished from my hands and I got a new bag.
I opened my eyes and I was surprised to see that my clothes were also changed and they were like the clothes of the others and my shoes were also changed and there was an amazing bag in my hands.
After seeing all this I said that, “How did this happen?,” what happened when I closed my eyes that my clothes were changed to very nice clothes?”
Then Allah ﷻ said from the sky that, “Qasim it is impossible that Allah ﷻ will leave alone someone on whose head is the shadow of mercy of Muhammad,ﷺ and Allah ﷻ is very Merciful and is fully Dominant over everything.”
After hearing this a wave of strange happiness went through my body and I ran towards the main gate shouting in excitement that, ”Allah made me like the others students of the school by His Mercy.”
And when I reached the gate, then Umar (r.a) was standing there, I said “Salam” to Umar (r.a), He (r.a) replied to my greeting and said that, “l was waiting for you.
I said to Umar (r.a) that, “I also got admission in this school and this is my first day.”
Umar (r.a) said, Subhanallah only those who can get admission in this school are specially gifted by the Mercy of Allah, now we will go inside, and we will praise Allah, and then we will go to class.’’
I said to Umar (r.a) that, ‘’l checked the schedule and you will take my first class.”
And He (r.a) said that, “ln shaa Allah.” (Dream ends)

Muhammad Qasim saw this dream around 2004. He sees that he is in a house and Prophet Muhammd (PBUH) comes to him and tells him that he has gotten admission to a good school. Qasim is happy and obeys the Prophet’s (PBUH) command to read and write. He gathers some books and gets ready in some ordinary clothes and heads to the school following the address he was given.

On the way there, he reaches a junction and doesn’t know where to turn. He then sees Abu Bakr (RA) and asks him for directions. Abu Bakr (RA) is surprised when he hears the school’s name and sees how he is dressed. He asks Qasim why he needs the address. Qasim tells him that he got admission to the school and Abu Bakr (RA) says MashaAllah and tells him where to go. When he reaches close and sees the school, he is shocked because it is a huge, nice building and the students are dressed in good clothing. He thinks he is at the wrong school but the name is right.

He looks at his ordinary clothes and old books and sits at a table outside the school. Some students come up to him and he thinks they will make fun of him. However, they tell Qasim to sit with them and are very polite with him. The school bell rings and the student head to the main gate. Qasim pauses because he is ashamed of his clothes and books, because he is at an extraordinary place. He closes his eyes and when he opens them, he gets new clothes, a bag, and new books. He is confused how this happened, but then Allah (SWT) speaks from the sky and says ” It is impossible that Allah (SWT) will leave alone someone whose head is the shadow of Mercy of Muhammad (PBUH) and Allah (SWT) is Very Merciful and Dominant over everything.” After hearing this, a wave of happiness passes through his body and he runs towards the main gate in excitement.

When he reaches the gate Umar (RA) is waiting there and tells Qasim that he was waiting for him. He says that only those specially gifted by the Mercy of Allah (SWT) get admission to the school.
