Allah
God Almighty, Lord, Creator and Cherisher of the universes. There is
nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, the Al-Seeing Lord. Seeing
Him in a dream can be interpreted according to one’s state of being. If one sees
Him in His glory and majesty, without descriptive designation, without ascrip¬
tion of human characteristics to Him and without depiction or portrayal in the
dream, it is an indication of glad tidings for both this world and the hereafter.These blessings also may continue to affect the lives of one’s progeny. If one sees
Him otherwise in a dream, it means confusion, and particularly if the Almighty
Lord does not address him. If an ailing person sees Him in a dream, it means
that he will soon die and come to meet Him. If a straying soul sees God Almighty
in a dream, it will find guidance. If an oppressed person sees Him, it means that
justice will prevail and he will triumph over his oppressors. Hearing God’s words
without designation represents the imagination of the person in the dream.
Perhaps hearing His words in a dream appeases one’s heart and increases the
person’s drive for success. Hearing God’s words without seeing Him represents
the rising of one’s station. If one receives revelations from behind a veil in a
dream, it means mental confusion and innovation. This is most true if a
messenger comes in one’s dream and describes the one who spoke as God. In this
case, the dream is a nightmare, because God Almighty cannot be depicted
according to human descriptions. If one sees a picture of God in his dream, it
means that he is a liar who ascribes images to God Almighty that do not befit
His Majesty and Glory. If one hears God Almighty talking to him directly and
if he can focus at Him in the dream, it means that he will be encompassed with
God’s mercy and blessings. If one sees God Almighty in a dream, it means that
he will look at His Divine countenance in the hereafter. Seeing God Almighty
seated on the Divine Throne in a dream means elevation of one’s rank,
knowledge and increase in his wealth. If one sees himself running away to hide
from God Almighty in a dream, it means that he will change the course of his
devotion into heedlessness. Seeing a veil separating between the servant and
his Lord in a dream means that one will commit major sins and abominable
actions. If one sees his Lord frowning at him, whereby he could not bear the
effulgence of God’s light, or if he is seized by a shock and immediately commences
to repent and pray for forgiveness in the dream, it means that such a person is
indulging in abominable actions, and that he is a despicable sinner who follows
his own mind and desires, and that he is an innovator of religious thoughts who
misleads the people. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it
represents an admonition and a warning to abstain from sin. If one hears God
Almighty talking to him in a dream, it also means that one is more assiduous
in his recital of the Quran. If one hears God Almighty talking to him with words
he cannot understand, then if He anoints him and blesses him in the dream, it
means that God Almighty will bring him nigh unto Himself and exalt his station.
If one sees God Almighty in a form resembling one’s father, a brother or a
relative and showing His kindness or blessing him in a dream, it means that he
will be afflicted with a calamity and a major illness. If a righteous person sees
himself standing before God Almighty in reverence and filled with awe in a
dream, it means that mercy will encompass him and help him to further his
growth. The same interpretation applies if one sees himself prostrating before
Him. If God Almighty speaks to someone from behind a veil in a dream, it can
also represent a good worshipper, but if the Divine address takes place without
a veil in the dream, it means falling into sin. If God Almighty names someone
in his dream with his birth name, then adds another title to it, it means rising
in station and rank. If one sees God Almighty angry with him in a dream, it
means that his parents are displeased with him. This description includes
seeing oneself falling from the skies or from the top of a mountain. If a devoted
servant sees God Almighty kissing him in a dream, it applies to his growing
devotion and reward. Fearing God Almighty in a dream reflects eminence,
peacefulness, quiescence, wealth of being and disregard for material needs.

Ishaq
(Also known as John in Western traditions. God’s prophet Ishaq, son of the
prophet Jacob, upon both of them be peace.) In a dream, seeing him indicates
adversities and hardships. If one has a son who ran away in disobedience to his
father, and if he sees God’s prophet Ishaq in a dream, it means that he will
return to his home and be obedient again. This dream also indicates a surge of
glad tidings, peace and tranquility. Seeing Ishaq (uwbp) in a dream also means
suffering from persecution by the senators of one’s town, or from some of his
relatives, and finally God Almighty will come to his help, and grant him back
his integrity and honor. If one sees him in his best form and radiant beauty, it
becomes a sign of glad tidings, whereby one’s progeny will engender leaders,
governors and righteous people. Seeing him in a dream also may mean coming
out of tight circumstances into a more relaxed ones, changing from heedlessness
into guidance, poverty into richness, and from disobedience to one’s parents to
obeying them again. If one sees himself transformed into Isliaq (uwbp) or to wear
his robe in a dream means that he may near his death then be saved from it.
Islam: (Religion of Islam; Surrender to God’s will; Submission) To see oneself as
a Muslim, praising God Almighty, thanking Him, facing the Ka‘aba in one’s
prayers, or to see oneself embracing Islam in a dream means straightening one’s
life, or repentance from one’s sins. If one sees himself renewing his Islam in a
dream, it means safety from plagues, sickness, or adversities. To proclaim the
two testimonies: ‘There is no god other than Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah,” in one’s dream means relief from distress, or guidance after heedlessness.
Saying these testimonies in a dream also may mean returning to one’s parents
after having abandoned them. It also means returning to a place one has earlier
deserted, or to using earlier criterions in one’s life. If a Muslim recites these
proclamations in a dream, it means that he will testify to the truth in a court
of justice, or become known for his truthfulness. (Also see Exalting God’s one¬
ness; Exclamation of God’s sovereignty; Imam; Meadow; mosque; Quran; Pil¬
grimage)

Bismillah
(arb.) Calling the Name of God Almighty in a dream means blessed
tidings. Bismillah in a dream also represents attainment, knowledge, guidance
and wealth. Reciting the formula: ‘Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem’ (In the Name
of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate ) in a dream also means living to see
one’s children and grand children. It also means recovering a lost article.
Bismillah in a dream also means placing the intention to get married, tidings of
a good progeny, and receiving guidance after heedlessness. If one writes down
such a call: ‘In the Name of God’ with a beautiful handwriting in his dream, it
means that he will receive wealth and recognition in his field of knowledge. If
a deceased person writes it in one’s dream, it means that such a person dwells
encompassed with God’s mercy. If the one who wrote it in the dream is alive and
if he erases it or if a bird steals it from him in the dream, it means the nearing
of his death and exhaustion of his sustenance in this world. If one recites it
during his prayers in a dream when it is not his custom to do so, it means
borrowing an unnecessary amount of money or giving preference to leaning
toward one’s mother rather than his father or the opposite.

Divine Throne
(The Glorious Throne of God Almighty.) Seeingthe Divine Throne
of God Almighty in its perfect form means blessings, glad tidings and correct¬
ness of one’s faith. If one sees the Divine Throne missing one of its attributes
in a dream, it means heedlessness and innovation. Seeing the Glorious Throne
of God Almighty in a dream may entail whatever good or evil destiny one may
go through. Seeing the Divine Throne in a dream also means receiving a high
ranking position or assuming a noble function, if one qualifies, or it could
represent one’s wife, house, vehicle, victory over his enemy, writing poems, or
doing good deeds for the one who sees it in its perfect, radiant and glorious
manifestation. If one sees the Divine Throne, and ifhe sees God Almighty sitting
on it in a dream, it denotes his faith, certitude, determination and correct
religious adherence. If one sees himself sitting upon the Divine Throne and his
Lord sittingunder it in a dream, and if one qualifies for governing, then it means
that he will oppress the religious scholars, show arrogance and spread evil on
earth. If one does not qualify for governing, then it means that he will become
a disobedient son to his parents, oppose his teacher, rebel against his superior,
issue a verdict without knowledge, commit aggression against others, or ifhe
is a judge, he will be an unjust one. (Also see Allah; Carriers of the Divine Throne;
Chair)
