Minbar
( arb. Pulpit; Sermon) A pulpit in a dream represents the Imam, the
spiritual guide and commander of all the Muslims who also represents God’s
Messenger (uwbp) on earth. A minbar in a dream also represents a blessed abode
in the hereafter, and an exalted station through which God’s Name is glorified.
Standing one a pulpit and delivering a poised sermon in a dream means
attaining an honorable station. If one does not qualify for such a position, then
it means that he will acquire good fame. If a ruler or a governor is forced to come
down from the pulpit in a dream, it means loss of his status, or it could mean
his death. If one is seen standing on a pulpit and if he does not speak or deliver
a sermon, or if what he says denotes evil in the dream, it means that he will be
unjustly executed, or it could mean that God Almighty will protect him against
such injustice. The pulpit in a dream also means rulership and subduing one’s
enemy. Rising on a pulpit in a dream also could mean a betrothal or proposing
a marriage. Otherwise, it could mean a scandal. If a ruler stands on a pulpit in
a dream, it represents the continuity of his reign. Standing on a pulpit with one’s

Missile launcher
(Ballista; Battering ram; Mangonel) Seeing a mangonel or a
missile launcher for hurling heavy stones in a dream means calumny, slander
and a false accusation of fornication, untruth, or deceit. A missile launcher in
a dream also means victory for the oppressed and destruction for the unjust
ones. If the commander who is operating the missile launcher in the dream is

of such a letter. If a superior launches a stone against a subject or an employee
in a dream, it means that he will send an investigator, a controller or a
supervisor of a stern nature. Watching the launch of a mangonel in a dream
implies treachery, betrayal and a cause of losses and sufferings. It also means
defamation of the learned ones, or forcing them to downplay the ruler’s injustice,
or to give utilitarian and opportune opinions about sacred religious values.
Seeing a missile launcher in a dream also may signify corruption, adversities
and trials that will befall the target of such missiles.

Solomon
(God’s prophet Solomon, upon whom be peace.) God Almighty subju¬
gated the wind to serve the prophet Solomon. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream
denotes leadership, the seat of a judge, acquiring wisdom, or giving religious
interpretations if the person who sees him in a dream qualifies. This vision
becomes stronger if the Prophet Solomon crowns the person, or places a ring on
his right hand, or sits him beside himself on his throne. Seeing him (uwbp) in
a dream also means overcoming adversities and hardships, and receiving a
divine endowment of an exalted station in this world, and greater blessings in
the hereafter. Seeing him (uwhp) in a dream also means trials with women and
ingratitude on their part. If the person who sees God’s prophet Solomon in a
dream is a governor, it means that he will be dismissed from his functions,
though his authority will be restored later on, or he could through cheating,
marry a rich woman. If the one who sees God’s prophet Solomon in a dream
practices sorcery, witchcraft, black magic, or invoking jinn or evil spirits, it
means that he will profit from his trade and become wealthy after having lost
hope in attaining such benefits, or he could triumph over his enemy. Whoever
sees God’s prophet Solomon (uwbp) in his dream will receive God’s favors,
including clear visions, clarity of religious interpretations, the ability to learn
many languages, or he could become a translator, or perhaps could master the
Arabic language. Seeing Solomon in a dream also means that one will recover
from an illness. If one gets hold of Solomon’s staff in a dream, it means that he
will engage in slander or calumny, and if he is sick, it means his death. Seeing
or finding Solomon’s ring in a dream means renewing one’s term of leadership,
or a manifestation of a great and a confounding wonder that will bewilder
people. If a woman sees God’s prophet Solomon (uwbp) in a dream, it means that
she will deceive her husband. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also means that one
may acquire knowledge about herbal medicine. If one sees him laying dead on
his bed in a dream, it means that the calif, an army commander, a leader, or a
man of knowledge will die in that locality and whose death will remain
undetected, or undisclosed for sometime. Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also
means increase in one’s travels, supremacy over one’s enemy and subjugation
of one’s friends and foes to his orders should he qualify. Seeing him (uwbp) in
a dream also denotes riches, sovereignty, distant but fast travels and receiving
blessings, peace and protection. (Also see Solomon’s ring)

If one sees himself holding the sun in a dream, it means that he will gain
strength and wealth that will come about through someone in the government.
If one receives the sun hanging as a necklace in a dream, it means that he will
win a seat in the senate. If he goes near the sun or sits inside it in a dream, it

stretch of his power will extend between the two horizons he sees in his dream,
or it may mean that he will acquire a knowledge coupled with fame. If one sees
that he owns the sun in a dream, it means that his words will be respected and
listened to by someone in authority. If someone in authority sees the sun looking

important political appointment, or that he should be careful about his asso¬
ciation with someone in authority, or it may mean marriage. If the sun rises

house in a dream, it means that she will marry a wealthy person, and that her
horizon will expand. The radiance of the sun in a dream means reverence, might
and justice of the ruler of that land. If one sees the sun talking to him in a dream,
it means that he will be honored and commended by the governor. If one sees
the sun or the moon talking to him, and if he then strolls away with them in the
dream, it represents his death. If one sees the sun rising from an unusual
direction in a dream, it represents a beneficial knowledge he will acquire. If the
sun shines over one’s head and not the rest of his body in a dream, it means that
he will receive a prominent responsibility. If its rays rise to shine over his feet
and not the rest of his body in the dream, it means a farming project that brings
him prosperity and lawful earnings. If the sun discretely shines over one’s belly
and without people’s noticing it in the dream, it means that he will be struck
with leprosy. If it shines over his chest and not the balance of his body in the
dream, it means a sickness. If a woman sees that the sun has embraced her from
her neck down in a dream, it means that she will marry a person in authority
and for one night only. Should such a person divorce her the next morning, it
means that she may become a prostitute. If the sun rises from one’s open belly
in a dream, it means his death. If one sees the sun setting and himself walking
behind it, it also means death. If one sees himself walking behind the sun in a
dream, it means that he will be captured and imprisoned. If one sees the sun
turned into an old man in a dream, it means that the governor will become a
pious and God-fearing person. Otherwise, if the sun turns into a young man in
the dream, it represents his weakness. If one sees blazes of fire straying away
from the sun in a dream, it means the impeachment of some members of the
governor’s cabinet or someone from his counsel. If one sees the sun turned red
in a dream, it means corruption. If it turns yellow in the dream, it means an
illness. If it turns black in the dream, it means losses. If one seeks the sun after
it sets in a dream, it means that whatever is destined for him whether it be good
or bad has passed. If one sees the sun rising at times different than its usual
sun rising time in a dream, it means that an uprising against the government
will take place in different parts of the country. If one sees himself with the sun
in a dream and should he be working in the government, or the army, it means
that he will betray his superior, or the ruler of that land. Otherwise, it means
that his condition will deteriorate and life will turn against him. If the sun has
no rays in the dream, it means that the governor or the general of the army will lose respect.
If he is an administrator, it means that he will be dismissed from his function.
If he is a subject or an employee it means that he will lose his source
of income. If a woman sees a sun that has no rays in a dream, it means that her
husband will deprive her of her needs. If one sees the sun split in two in a dream,
it means losing one’s dominion. If one sees the sun falling down in a dream, it
means that a major calamity will befall the inhabitants of the earth. If it falls
over the earth in the dream, it means the death of one’s father. Gazing at the
sun in a dream means gaining authority and dominion, or presiding over the
people of one’s locality. If a traveller sees the sun too bright in a dream, it means
that he will return home safely. If one sees the sun rising from the East and
setting in the West with a clear brightness in a dream, it means blessings for
that land. If one swallows the sun in a dream, it means distress, sorrow or death.
If the sun rises from the West, then it means defamation, exposing the ills of the
person seeing it, or divulging a secret. The rising of the sun from the West also
means recovering from an illness, and for a businessman, it means profits from
that direction, but in general, it may mean revealing a secret, or it could mean
a scandal or death. The same interpretation is given if one sees the sun rising
from the South to set in the North. If the sun changes its nature in a dream, it
means trouble in that land. If one sits under the sun in a dream, it means that
he will receive honor and blessed profits. Grabbing some rays of the sun in a
dream means receiving undiminishing wealth. The sunrise in a dream also
means waking people up to go to work, seeking one’s livelihood, begetting a son,
or releasing a prisoner. If one is hiding something, then seeing the sun in his
dream means that his secret will be exposed. If one sees the rays of the sun
falling over his bed or threatening him in a dream, it means a painful sickness,
or inflammation of the skin. If the sun rays which are falling over his bed provide
him with good energy in the dream, it means a good harvest, or good health. If
travellers see many suns in the sky in a dream, it means profits and prosperity.
Running away from the sun in a dream means that one may leave his wife, or
he may run away from the governor of that land, or escape from an evil. If the
sun and the moon meet in one’s dream, it means a royal marriage, or a marriage
between a beautiful woman and a wealthy man. Clouds covering the rays of the
sun in a dream means an illness. If one carries the sun in a bag in a dream, it
means money. The sun in a dream also could represent a wise man, or a teacher
one whose company is sought. Otherwise, the sun in a dream could represent,
the governor, one’s husband, wife, child, mother, daughter, aunt, father, or
grandfather and the above interpretations will relate to such a person. Whatever
happens to the sun in the dream, will then affect such people. If one sees the sun
rising, then immediately setting in the same direction in a dream, it means a
newborn who may die shortly after his birth, returning an ex-prisoner to jail
shortly after his release, earning amazing amounts of money, or repenting from
sin, reverting to wrongdoing, the return of a bride to her parent’s house
immediately after her wedding night, or it could mean reconciliation between
husband and wife. If one sees the sun and the moon shinning on him in a dream,
it means that his parents are pleased with him. If one sees himself prostrating

Physician
(Mother) A physician in a dream represents a wise man, or a religious
doctor. A physician in a dream also represents a scholar, and a scholar in a
dream represents a physician. If one sees a physician examining him in a dream,
it means an improvement in his health condition. If one sees a religious scholar
advising him in a dream, it means that hypocrisy and doubt will be dispelled
from his heart. A physician in a dream also represents one’s mother, or he could
be an opponent, or an adversary. The death of one’s physician in a dream means
the death of one’s mother. If a sick person sees a physician visiting him in a
dream, it means that he will recover from his illness. If a physician visits a
healthy person in a dream and write a prescription for him, it means that he will
fall sick. Seeing or visiting a physician in a dream means exposing one’s secrets,
for a physician works to extract the patient’s illness just like a snake charmer
who brings a snake out of its hiding. A physician in a dream also represents a
garbage collector, a street cleaner, a spy, a backbiter, or a fighter who sometime
wins and sometime loses. To see oneself as a physician in a dream means
attaining a high ranking position, or becoming a policeman, or a commander
who controls people’s livelihood. A physician in a dream also represents some¬
one who provides spiritual as well as practical guidance, a social reformer, a
judge, a preacher, a teacher, a tanner, or a copper. If one sees a just and a well
known judge as a physician in a dream, it means that his compassion and
welfare will encompass everyone in that locality. If one sees a known physician
as a judge or a wise man in a dream, it means that one will become renowned,
his status will rise and he will become a celebrated pioneer in his field. If he is
not known to be a righteous physician, then it means that one will be visited with
adversities, or it could mean that someone will die from malpractice, or it could
mean persevering with daring attempts do increase one’s business at the
expense of people’s lives. If one sees a physician selling coffins or folded shrouds
in a dream, one should be suspicious of him in wakefulness even if people are
fascinated by his charm. If one sees a physician working as a tanner in a dream,
it shows the physicians ingenuity, knowledge of his trade and the many people
who recover from their illness at his hand. The exception to that is when the tan
is spoiled, or if it has a stench, or if it is ineffective in the dream, then it means
that such a physician is a crafty swagger.

Omar
(The commander of the believers, Omar bin Al-Khattab. may God be pleased
with him.) Seeing him in a dream means longevity, trustworthiness and praise¬
worthy deeds. One who sees him in a dream will speak the truth, be just and call
people to the straight path. He also may be able to attend to the Sacred House
in Mecca in an auxiliary pilgrimage ( Umrah ). If one shakes hands with Omar bin
Al-Khattab in a dream, it means that he will prosper and live a pious life, and he
will be a vigilant and a strong believer, the value of whose deeds will surpass his
fame. If one sees him frowning in a dream, it means that Omar is calling for
justice, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. If there is a drought
in a town and one sees Omar in a dream, it means that rain will fall and be a
blessing for that land. If there is tyranny in that land and one sees Omar in his
dream, it means that justice will prevail. If Omar hits someone with a stick, or
warns him, or threatens him in a dream, it means that one must renounce the
course of his current actions or deviation from God’s path, or perhaps that
someone in authority or a scholar will persecute him. If one sees himself being
Omar in a dream, or if he wears one of his garments in a dream, it means that
he will be awarded honor, a dignified status, or die as a martyr. If one sees Omar
smiling in a dream, it means that he follows the correct precepts of God’s
Messenger, upon whom be peace, and emulates his practices. Seeing him in a
dream also means that justice and truth will prevail in his time, or that he is a
trustworthy person, or that the propagation of truth is prominent in his time.
Seeing him in a dream also could mean signing a peace treaty with one’s enemy,
annihilating hatred with love, good luck with one’s in-laws, renouncing one’s
attachment to worldly things, though being capable of winning it, or presiding
over people with justice, love and compassion.
