Pilgrimage
(Hajj) Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca, fulfilling its obligatory
pillars and celebrating its ceremonies in a dream represents one’s spiritual and
religious growth. It will bring him a great reward in this life and in the next,
appease his fears, and imply that he is a trustworthy person. If this dream
occurs during the pilgrimage season, it means profits for a merchant, recovery
for the sick, finding guidance after heedlessness, or it could mean that one will
perform his pilgrimage if he had not yet fulfilled this obligatory religious duty.
If one’s dream takes place outside the pilgrimage season, then it could mean the
opposite. If one sees himself as a pilgrim in a dream, and if he disdains from
actually perform his pilgrimage, though he possesses the means to do so, it
means that he is a reprobate and an ungrateful person. Performing one’s
pilgrimage in a dream also indicates the necessity to serve one’s parents and to
be true to them, or the duty to serve one’s teacher and be truthful with him.
Performing one’s pilgrimage in a dream also means visiting a gnostic, a saint,
a shaikh, a scholar, or it it could mean getting married, acquiring knowledge,
satisfying one’s needs, recuperating from an illness, repenting from sin, or
joining the company of pious people. If one travels to perform his pilgrimage
using a vehicle in a dream, it means that he will receive help from God Almighty.
If he travels on foot leading a camel in the dream, it means that he will do so
with the help of a woman. If he rides an elephant in the dream, it means that
he will perform his pilgrimage as a member of a governmental delegation. If one
travels on foot in the dream, it means that he has made a vow which he must
fulfil. Seeing oneself returning from a pilgrimage in a dream means profits and
relief from stress. If one carries his provisions with him in the dream, it means
that he stands before his Lord with piety and reverence. Carrying the pilgrims’s
provisions in a dream also means paying poor people their dues, or it could mean
paying one’s debts. If one sees himself going to perform his pilgrimage alone, and
the people standing up to pay their farewell to him in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly. (Also see Arafat; Circumambulation; Cradle of Ismail;
Kaaba; Mina; Muzdalifa; Pelting stones; Responding; Sai; Station of Abraham;
Umrah)

one's dream. If one sees himself standing in 'Arafa during the night time in a
dream, it means that his goals will be attained and that he will satisfy his quest.
If one sees himself standing in 'Arafa after the sunrise, it means that his
question will find no answer. (Also see Circumambulation; Cradle ofIshmail;
