404 Background This book belong to the category of the Promised Messiah as ’s books which had been painstakingly compiled and is the product of much attention and deep research. Explaining the reason for writing this book, the Promised Messiah as said: In this age, where diverse kinds of mischiefs are taking place and certain unfounded innovations are coming into existence, another mischief is becoming common. Often people are not aware what type and character of dream and vision should be relied upon and under what circumstances. Some of the visions or dreams are products of evil minds and a result of evil agencies. . . . One of the chief distinctive features of a true dream and vision is that God showers numerous blessings on that man. ( Haqiqatul-Wahi , p. 1, R uha n i Khaz a’ in, vol. 22, pp. 3-4) This book is one of the remarkable contributions of the Promised Messiah as in which, in the light of the Holy Quran, and by citing two hundred signs which had been fulfilled at his hand and were witnessed by a number of people, the Promised Messiah as gave a lucid illustration of dreams, visions and revelations. The Book The author has divided the whole subject into four parts, the first dealing with dreams or some revelations of such people who in reality have no genuine contact with God. It is only natural that the frame of their mind gives rise to certain dreams and revelations, which spring from a pure, sincere and guiltless heart. Their experiences, therefore, have no spiritual value. Such dreamers may belong to any class of society, non-believers, heretics, licentious men or women. Their dreams are far beyond the halo of heavenly high and are to be discarded.
