The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Revelation as a religion has ended, he says, but the Prophet said it continues in dreams, which can guide a person but are not for preaching.

In more detail

Returning to the other half of the super chat, Mufti Abu Layth says the Prophet did not say that revelation per se ends, but that revelation in its formal manner as a religion ends. He says the Prophet said it continues through dreams or visions, which he links to the unconscious: people may still receive revelatory intuitions that can help them personally, but these are not a religion and not for preaching. He calls this a fascinating hadith.

right there the other question on the super chat somebody said can you respond to it yes of course uh where did it go uh why would allah stop revelation so it's not about revelation it's interesting it's interesting by the way the prophet didn't say that revelation per se ends but revelation in its um formal manner as a religion ends and the

1:15:38

prophet actually said that it continues through kind of like either dreams or visions which dreams it's interesting is linked to the unconscious that people at an unconscious level will still be connected to potential revelatory intuitions but those intuitions those signals those things that they see is not for every you know it might it's just for them so you might experience something that can help you but it's not a religion it's not to start preaching

1:16:17

in that way so and that i find that a very fascinating hadith that the prophet said you know that revelation stops except in a good in except in dreams or you know whether one wants to see as visions but dreams and it's interesting that tying that in with the unconscious um when the prophet all right right i've got to get this back up um when the prophet saw allah passed away didn't it sound like there was an emphasis during his time to preserve the quran
