About the book:

The book deals with the subject of Imam al-Husayn (a) in the world of dream visions, from the side of what others saw, foremost among them the Infallibles and those around them, and from the side of what Imam al-Husayn (a) saw and the dreams he saw throughout his blessed life. The book consists of four chapters: the first deals with a foundational view of the subject of dream visions and dreams, through the Noble Qurʾan and the purified Sunna of the Infallibles (a); in the second chapter it deals with the horizons in which Imam al-Husayn (a) moved in the world of true dream visions, of the Infallibles and those around them, with analytical views of the dream vision in its historical and thematic context. The third chapter presents the dreams that Imam al-Husayn (a) saw in his life, with an analytical, thematic reading of the dream vision in its political and historical context; and the fourth chapter is devoted to a collection of stories of scholars who saw Imam al-Husayn (a) in the world of dream visions.

The author considered that the subject of treating dream visions and dreams in accordance with the guidance of the Book and the Progeny (ʿItra) is one of the contemporary necessities, since this subject has become one of the challenges through which a person may deviate, or which he may deal with in mistaken ways.
