What Does It Mean to See Gold in Dream in Islam?

Seeing gold in a dream has both negative and positive meanings in Islamic dream interpretation. Ibn Sirin explains that gold is often a disliked symbol because it may indicate loss, anxiety, hardship, pride, or wrongdoing. However, in some dreams, gold can also represent joy, wealth, knowledge, marriage, leadership, good deeds, children, and spiritual guidance.

The meaning depends on how gold appears and how it is used in the dream.
