Muhammad Qasim bin Abd al-Karim[a] (born 5 July 1976), also known as Dream man or Muhammad Qasim, is a Pakistani Islamic scholar who some supporters claim to be the Mahdi, although he himself denies the claim.[1]. He is known for his true interpretation of dreams (khuwab).[b]

Biography

Early life and appearance

Muhammad Qasim bin Abd al-Karim was born on 5 July 1976 in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, into a Sayyid Qureshi family.[2] He is 173 cm tall and has a graceful appearance. He has a broad forehead, sharp eyebrows, an aquiline nose, and a mole on his cheek. He is very humble and simple. He speaks softly, eats moderately, and always greets people first. He never boasts, admits his weaknesses openly, and treats others better than himself. He never likes to sit in special seats and prefers to sit with common people. [3] According to his own biography, Qasim used to play with toys with the names of Allah and Muhammad on them. As such, Qasim is believed to have developed a religious character.[3]

Dreams and predictions

At the age of 17, Qasim claims starting seeing God in a veil in his dream (khuwab) and a list of good dreams started.[4] He claims to have experienced more than 800 dreams of God and over 500 involving the Prophet Muhammad. Qasim started sharing his dreams in 2014, initially receiving barely any attention, though later becoming popular worldwide.[2][5] He claims to have been told by God that he would lead the Muslim Ummah against the forces of evil in end times.[3] His supposed dreams include a war between India and Pakistan, the destruction of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and World War III, around when Qasim emerges to save the world.[5][6] However, these dreams have been controversial among orthodox Pakistani Muslims. however still accepted by many Muslim scholars and common people worldwide. [7]

Supporters and outreach

In June 2025, Muhammad Qasim met with Indonesia’s Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar, accompanied by Riza Shah, Yuniati Diah, and several Indonesian scholars. He has also met many scholars across Indonesia, Malaysia, and other parts of Asia.[7] Few supporters consider him to be the Mahdi, particularly in parts of Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia, Bangladesh, United states and United Kingdom.[5][6] Qasim's dreams are available in a number of languages, Arabic, Bengali, English, Indonesian, Malay, French, Spanish and Urdu indicating that his target audience spans Asia, Europe, North America and especially English speakers.[8] AI-generated voices of scholars like Mufti Menk and Zakir Naik were falsely used by impersonators to link Muhammad Qasim to Mahdi claims. Qasim has firmly rejected these deepfake videos, calling them a malicious attempt by unknown and a deviant group to mislead the public and sabotage his peaceful message.[8] Muhammad Qasim has publicly rejected these allegations, stating that a deceptive group manipulated the situation to tarnish the reputation of his genuine followers worldwide.[3]

In July 2024, he was briefly questioned — not arrested — after an anti-Qasim lobby allegedly complained through one of their friends in the police, claiming he was teaching without a licence and spreading “shirk-related” dream interpretations. He was released within the same hour following legal verification, and no formal charges were confirmed by JAWI; however, the case remains in court awaiting evidence from the complainant.[9][10]

MalaysiaGazette subsequently issued a public apology to Qasim for falsely reporting that he had claimed to be the Mahdi, formally retracting the statement after its internal legal review found no evidence for the allegation.[11][10] Qasim and his legal team regard this retraction as a strong vindication, reiterating that he is merely an ordinary Muslim who shares spiritually-inspired dreams — not a claimant to any messianic role — and that media must report such sensitive matters with fairness and accuracy.[12]

Claims and denials of association

Muhammad Qasim has no official spokesperson. His official dreams are uploaded on his YouTube channel, Muhammad Qasim PK, and he has personally denied any association with Diki Candra, Awais Naseer, or Osama Altaf, who have falsely claimed affiliation with him. These individuals have shared distorted versions of his dreams, and Qasim has publicly disassociated himself from their actions, stating he has never endorsed their interpretations or statements.
