dream, it means that his sorrow will be dispelled. White clouds in a dream are

(Dagger; Kitchen knife) In a dream, a knife represents the servant of the
house or its sire who strives to serve and benefit his family and friends. Its

it means that she will give birth to a baby girl. If one needs a witness for a trial,
and if he sees himself carrying a knife in a dream, it means that he will find such
a witness. If the knife is sharpened in the dream, it means that one will find a
true witness. If the knife is dull in the dream, it means that his witness is
shabby, or that his witness may be hurt before the trial. If the knife is sheathed
in the dream, it means that the witness will cowered and the court will be
satisfied with one’s own testimony instead. On the other hand, a knife in a dream

represents a king or a judge who deals with Islamic jurisprudence. If a king, a
ruler, or a judge sees that the Holy Book does no longer exist, or if he sees it
burning, or if its contents are washed away in a dream, it means his death. If
one sees a ruler or a governor handwriting a copy of the Holy Book in a dream,
it means that he is a just person who uses the divine laws in making his decision.
If a judge sees himself handwritings copy of the Holy Book in a dream, it means
that he does not share his knowledge, and that he is audacious about his rank
and status. If a religious scholar or a theologian sees himself writing a copy of
Holy Book in a dream, it means that he will profit from a business deal. If one

by its criterion. Reading from the Holy Book before God’s Prophet, upon whom
be peace, in a dream means that one will commit himself to memorizing it.
Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream means accepting bribes. If a
layman eats the pages of the Holy Book, or few lines from some pages in a dream,
it means that he earns his livelihood from reciting the Holy Quran or teaching
it. Eating the pages of the Holy Book in a dream also means earning one’s
livelihood from copying and selling it. Seeing the Holy Book in a dream also

teacher, or shaikh, or it could mean making a true oath, receiving glad tidings,
admonition or a warning. Seeing the Holy Book or any of the early divine
revelations in a dream means that one may preside over people. If one sees
himself carrying the Holy Book, or even any book of revelations, and if when he
opens it finds the pages blank with no writing inside it in the dream, it means
that he portrays himself to be what he is not, or that he impersonates a scholar,
or pretends to be religious. Kissing the Holy Book in a dream means revering
what it contains and adhering to what it commands. If one looks into the pages
of the Holy Book and finds its lines crooked in a dream, it means that he lives
satisfied with what he has, and fulfills his required duties accordingly. Stealing
a copy of the Holy Book and hiding it in a dream means that one cheats in
performing his own prayers, or fails to do them properly. If one sees himself
looking in the Holy Book, then writing from what he is reading on his own
garment in the dream, it means that he interprets the Quranic revelation
according to his own liking. If one sees a Holy Book sitting in his lap, then if a
chick comes and picks all the words written therein in a dream, it means that
one will beget a child who will memorize and read the Holy Quran as an
inheritance, and benefit from the piety of his father, and as a trust, a lawful
earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in
dream means benefits, prosperity and becoming a renowned and a distinguished
religious scholar. If the Holy Book is snatched away from someone’s hands in

If one sees himself spreading the pages of the Holy Book on a flat surface in a
dream, it means that he is seeking wisdom which he will get, or that he may
receive an inheritance. If one sees himself putting the Holy Book over his
shoulders in a dream, it means that he will receive an appointment, or be
entrusted with a duty to guard, or that he will memorize the Holy Quran. If one
finds himself trying to eat the pages of the Holy Book in a dream, it means that
he is a regular reader of the Quran. If one sees himself trying to eat the pages
of the holy Book but is unable to do so in a dream, it means that he tries to
memorize the Holy Quran from time to time but keeps forgetting what he
learns. (Also see Quran)

Satan
Seeing the accursed one in a dream means evil, sin, lying, stealing,
jealousy, sorcery, separation between husband and wife, disdain from performing
one’s prayers, or it could mean preaching falsehood. Seeing the accursed one in
a dream also means propagation of an invented world or ideas. If in a dream one
becomes Satan, it is interpreted as loosing one’s sight. If one kills Satan in a
dream, it means that he will deceive and conquer a deceiver and an evil person.
In a dream, the accursed Satan also represents an enemy of the body and the
soul. He deceives, cheats, disbelieves, as well as he is ungrateful, jealous,
capricious, arrogant, heedless, impetuous, or he could represent a leader, a
minister, a judge, a policeman, a man of knowledge, a preacher, a hypocrite, or
one’s own family and children. Seeing Satan in a dream also means villainy, dirt,
passion and sexual devilry. If one sees Satan attacking him in a dream, it means
that he earns his money from usury. If Satan touches him in a dream, it means
that someone is slandering or trying to deceive his wife. If one is sick or under
stress, and if he sees Satan touching him in a dream, it means that he will put
his hand on material wealth. If one is suffering from the consequences of devilry
while he recognizes his trials and remains steadfast in remembering God
Almighty and calling upon Him for help in a dream, it means that he has many
enemies tryingto deceive him or to destroy him, though they will eventually fail,
and in turn, they will be defeated by God’s leave. If one sees Satan following him
in a dream, it means that an enemy is pursuing him to deceive him, and
consequently one will lose his status, rank and the benefits of his knowledge.
If one sees himself inwardly talking with Satan in a dream, it means that he will
join hands with his own enemy, and his strike will be against the righteous
people, though he will ultimately fail. If one sees Satan teaching him something
in a dream, it means that he will fabricate a story, speak falsehood, or recite
poems filled with lies. If one sees that Satan has descended upon him in a dream,
it means that he engages in falsehood and sin. If one sees himself presiding over
a band of satans, controlling them, commanding them, and if they obey him in
the dream, it means that he will receive a seat of honor and he will be feared
by his friend and foes. If one ties Satan with chains in a dream, it means that
he will win victory in his life together with might and fame. If one sees himself
deceived by a group of satans in a dream, it means that he will suffer financial
losses or lose his job. If Satan strips someone from his clothing in a dream, it
means that the latter will lose a battle to an enemy. If one sees Satan whispering
something in his ear in dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.
If one sees himself defying and fighting Satan in a dream, it means that he is
a true and a strong believer who obeys his Lord and who holds fast to his
religious obligations. If Satan frightens him in a dream, it means that the latter
is a sincere deputy and a protege of God Almighty, and that God will safeguard
him from any fear of the accursed Satan or his army. If one sees a meteor or a
flame shooting at Satan in the skies in a dream, it means that there is an enemy
of God Almighty in that locality. If that person is a ruler, then his secrets will
be exposed, and if he is ajudge, it means that a just punishment will befall him
for his injustice. If one sees Satan happy in a dream, it means that he engages
in sensuality, passion and loathsome actions. In general, Satan is a weak enemy,
if one sees himself fighting him with resoluteness in a dream, it shows that he
is a religious and a pious person. If Satan swallows someone or penetrates inside
his body in dream, it means a fright, losses and sufferings. Satan in a dream also
represents builders or ocean divers who work as spies. Seeing them in a dream
also could mean backbiting or slandering. If one sees himself as a Satan in a
dream, it means that he constantly frowns with people and that he is quick to
harm them, or that he may work at cleaning sewers, or perhaps he may perish
