مثنوی احسن القصص وچ خواباںا وریوا

Abstract

The masnavi ‘‘Ahsan-ul-Qasas’’ by Molvi Ghulam Rasool Alampuri is a
remarkable example of classical punjabi literature. In this masnavi, Molvi
Ghulam Rasool Alampuri narrates the story of Prophet Yusuf(A.S). Dreams play
a very important role in this story. They are not merely part of the events, but also
carry deep messages from Allah. The dream of young Yusuf(A.S) in which the
sun, the moon and eleven stars prostrate before him, foretells future events.
Throughout the masnavi, dreams serve as a bridge between the physicall and the
spiritul world. Through dreams we learn about truth, self-control and how Allah
plans everything with wisdom and purpose.
Scientifically dreams are associated with three levels of conciousness: sub
concious and perceptual concious. These are followed by four higher states of
expended awareness: Transcendental consiousness, Cosmic consiousness, God
conciousness and Unity conciousness. This article is based on the dream of
different characters of Masnavi Ahsan-ul-Qasas, which convey profound and
deeper understanding
