Dying then Coming Back to Life

If a man dreams that he died then came back to life, he will have agood life and will repent if he was a sinner, and he will attain glory andhonour, because Allah says: "Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance anddisbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) andset for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men- like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism andhypocrisy) from which he can never come out?"[Al-An'aam 6:122] It may also be indicative of something else. A man said: I dreamt that I died and then I came back to life. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: Did you travel and then come back? He said: Yes. Another man dreamt that and he said: Were you in prison and then were released? He said: Yes. Another man said: I dreamt that I died and stood before Allah, and then I came back to life. He said: You travelled and met a person of high status, then you came back. Another man said: I dreamt that I died and came back to life several times. He said: You suffer from epilepsy that may come at any time.
