It is possible for a person to see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a dream, and the Shaitan cannot appear in the image of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), but he could appear in another form and claim that he is the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Interpretation of dreams in Islam falls into various categories: 1- Dreams may be interpreted in light of the Quran, 2- or in light of the Sunnah, 3- or by means of the proverbs, 4- or by names and metaphors, 5- or in terms of opposites. For more, please see the detailed answer.

This is what Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) looked like: • He was of average height, • not too tall and not too short, • with a pinkish colour, • not very white and not dark, • and his hair was neither very curly nor very straight.
