Can Satan take on the form of prophets or other individuals in our dreams? This is a common question among believers, and the answer is not a straightforward one. Regardless of differing opinions, there is a general consensus among scholars that Satan cannot take on the form of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Many scholars suggest that Satan cannot take on the form of the Prophets, 14 Masumeen, Saliheen and the great characters in Islam such as Abul-Fazal Abbas or Syeda Zaynab AS. However, there are varying opinions among scholars regarding the extent to which Satan can take on these forms.
Some scholars also maintain that Satan cannot take on the form of the highest scholars known as Maraja, such as Syed Sistani, Syed Khu'i, Syed Khamanai, Sayed Khomeini, or any of the great scholars. However, these opinions are not widely accepted among scholars.
Regardless of differing opinions, there is a general consensus among scholars that Satan cannot take on the form of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Therefore, if one sees the Prophet in a dream, it is believed to be a true vision of the Prophet himself, rather than Satan in disguise.
Apart from these, Satan can take on any other form in our dreams, be it animals, insects, or even individuals.
In conclusion, the extent to which Satan can take on different forms in our dreams remains a topic of debate among scholars. It is also important to remember that dreams can be influenced by a variety of factors, including our own thoughts and emotions. As believers, it is recommended to seek protection from Satan and his influence by reciting Quranic verses and supplications, such as Ayat al-Kursi and the four Quls, before sleeping. We will discuss the role of Satan in nightmares in one of the following chapters.
Overall, understanding the nature of dreams and their potential influences is an important aspect of spiritual development for believers.
