assistant. If the right hand is cut off in a dream, it means a vow one takes to
deprive someone from his rights. It also means loss of one's job or cutting off one's
blood ties, or it could mean that he has committed a theft. If a righteous person

means that such a person does little good in his life. If one enters his hand under
his arm's pit in a dream, then brings it out bright and radiant in a dream, it
means that he will acquire knowledge and may develop wisdom. Otherwise, it
could mean profits. If he brings forth his hand from under his arm's pit in the
dream, and if it reveal a flame in his dream, it represents a manifestation of
divine power and a blessed victory. If one pulls his hand from under his arm's
pit and it brings forth water in the dream, it means that he will receive great
benefits and growth in his life, or perhaps that a long awaited traveller will

that is a brother, a sister, a partner, a son, a compassionate friend, one's
strength, wealth, leadership, money, proof, a craft, or work. The condition in
which the palm of one's hand looks in a dream indicates the state of one's health
and fitness. Clapping one's hands in a dream could either mean joy and
happiness, or it could mean nothing. Wearing a glove in one's hand in a dream
means ceasing the course of wrongdoing. Slapping one's own face with both
hands means sorrow, sadness or calamities. Hitting the back of one's hand into
the palm of the other hand in a dream means separation. In a dream, the fingers
of the right hand represent the daily five time prayers. The thumb represents
the pre-dawn prayer, the index represents the midday prayer, the middle finger
represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset
prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the fingers of
the left hand in a dream, they are interpreted to represent one's nephews. To
cross or intertwine one's fingers in a dream means difficulties and poverty. One's
toes in a dream represent the beauty of his character and denote his straight-
forwardness. Any defect or crookedness in them in a dream will mirror in

mother, then will he marry her daughter, or it could mean that he will rape the
mother, then her daughter. Cracking one's fingers in a dream means exchanging

of a near breaking in a dream mean distress, sorrow, fears and depression. If

opposition. If one does not have fingernails in a dream, it means bankruptcy.
If one's fingernails turn yellow, green or blue or if they are broken in the dream,

money, children, relatives or prosperity. If one sees his abdomen being cut open and washed, then stitched back to normal in the dream, it means blessings from
God Almighty, forgiveness for one's sins, and it could mean that one will receive
spiritual guidance. One's abdomen in a dream also denotes his good conduct,
amiable character, blessed enterprises and protection from the evil of the
accursed Satan. If one sees a newborn son or daughter coming out of his
abdomen in a dream, it means that such a child will be born and will grow to
govern that household. As for one's livers in a dream, they represent knowledge, money or children. If a man of knowledge sees his livers flying away from

one has children, they may die, or perhaps the government may seize his
property even if he has nothing. If one sees himself eating his own livers in a
dream, it means earning his livelihood. If they are cooked in the dream, then

support. If one is rich, then it means that he will have a great friend to support
him and whose inner thoughts and intentions are better than what one may
think. If a poor person ties a cummerbund around his waist in a dream, it means

is given a cummerbund, and if he does not wear it in the dream, then it means
travels. A broken cummerbund in a dream means loss of power or perhaps one’s

wakefulness. If one finds himself in a newly built house which is freshly painted
and has all the needed amenities and comforts in a dream, it means prosperity.
If he is a poor person, then it means that he will meet his financial obligations
with ease. If he is under stress, it means that he will become free from such

be a reflection on his adverse conditions. If one enters such dwellings, then
walks out of it in a dream, it means that he will become sick and nearly die of
his illness before he recovers from it. If one walks out of it angry in a dream, it
means that he will be imprisoned. If he sees someone entering his house in a
dream, it means that someone will know his intimate life, or that an insolent
person will become a close family friend, then betray his trust and have a secret

in a dream, it means that he will receive an inheritance from the belongings of
a deceased relative. Building a dwelling for oneself or for others in a dream

of state; Vizier) In a dream, a vice-regent represents someone whom people seek
for his knowledge, or to learn the mastery of his craft, or he could represent an

and bad qualities, or whose character is different privately from the way he
portrays himself in public. If one sees the vice-regent of the land in a stately
appearance, or if he sees himself in such a form in a dream, it denotes his good
state in this world and his success in the hereafter. Seeing him wearing an
unsuitable garment in a dream reflects one’s own state, or it may mean that his
current religious state is weak, though it may become better at a latter stage
of his life. A vice-regent or a calif in a dream also represents someone who
establishes the laws of his religion and follows the example of God’s Prophet,

state, or the growing or diminishing of his devotion. If one who is promised
something sees the vice-regent or the calif in his dream, it means that his
promise will be fulfilled, and his wishes will come true. Seeing him in a dream
also means that someone from a different circle is backbiting him, or speaking
of him without his consent, or that people are reporting him to the authorities,
or that scholars are discussing him, or mentioning his work. A vice-regent or a
calif in a dream also represents aloofness, seclusion, truthfulness, volunteering
one’s services, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil, developing
one’s own certitude and faith, repentance, abstaining from sinful actions,
imprisonment, sickness, or travels. If one sees himself being awarded the seat
of the vice-regent or calif in a dream, though he does not suit the position, it
means that adversities and temptations will befall the land, though the people
of knowledge and the righteous ones will escape such danger. It could also mean
that he will suffer humiliation, and that the people whom he manages may rise
to preside over him.

holy Kaaba in a dream means enjoying the guardianship and protection of
someone in authority, and safety from one’s enemy. Entering inside the holy
Kaaba in a dream means entering before a ruler. Taking something from inside
the holy Kaaba in a dream means receiving something from the ruler. If one of
the walls of the holy Kaaba crumbles in a dream, it means the death of the Calif
or the local governor. Entering the holy Kaaba and failing to perform any of the
prescribed rites in a dream means standing before God Almighty on the Day of
Judgment having performed one’s obligations, or it could mean repenting from
one’s sins. To look at the holy Kaaba in a dream means safety and protection
against fear. If one is given a job in Mecca in a dream, it means that he may
become an Imam. Stealing anything from the holy Kaaba in a dream means
committing a sin. Walking toward the holy Kaaba, or seeking it in a dream
means correcting one’s religious standing. Seeing oneself in Mecca mixing with
departed souls who are inquiring from him about the world in a dream means
to die testifying to the Oneness of God Almighty and to the prophethood of His
Messenger, upon whom be peace. Seeing the Kaaba inside one’s own house in
a dream means that one is still in power and living with grace. If the holy Kaaba
does not look right in one’s eyes in the dream, then it means adversities. If one
sees the holy Kaaba as his own house in a dream, the holy Kaaba then
represents the Imam of all Muslims who is the representative and vice-regent
of God’s Messenger (uwbp), and it means that one truly follows the Imam.
Praying on top of the holy Kaaba in a dream means becoming an apostate.
Entering the holy Mosque in Mecca and praying on the roof of the holy Kaaba
in a dream represents peace, tranquility, presiding over others, it also means
that one will become victorious wherever one goes, though with a questionable
conduct, he also may follow innovation and depart from the traditions and
teachings of God’s Messenger, upon whom be peace. Walkingby the holy Kaaba,
or leaving it behind in a dream means going against the traditions of God’s
Prophet, upon whom be peace, following the path of innovation, or interpreting
things according to one’s own mind and liking. If one sees angels descending
from the heavens to lift away the pillar of God’s House from Mecca and place
it in a different town in the dream, it means that people have gone astray and
the time of destruction has come. It also means that the pillar of the faith, the
righteous guide of the believers and God’s vice-regent on earth Al-Mahdi will
soon emerge to dwell in that town. If one sees the holy Kaaba burning in a
dream, it means that one has neglected or abandoned his prescribed prayers.
Any changes, decrease or increase in the shape of the holy Kaaba, moving of it

or the guide of all Muslims. Circumambulating the holy Kaaba or performing
any of the prescribed rites in a dream means walking the path of righteousness,
or correcting one’s religious life as much as one does in his dream. Failure to
perform some of the prescribed rites that are associated with being at the holy
Ka‘aba in a dream indicates one’s deviation from God’s path, and such innovation
is equal to changing the direction ( arb. Qiblah ) of one’s prayers. The holy Kaaba
in a dream also represents one’s prayers, for it is the focal point of all praying
Muslims. The holy Kaaba in a dream also represents God’s House, a mosque,
a community center of all Muslims, and it represents a teacher, a guide, Islam,
the holy Quran, the prophetic traditions, one’s son, a religious scholar, a shaikh,
a master, a husband, one’s mother, and the heavenly paradise. The holy Kaaba
is God’s House, and thereat people will be gathered and led into paradise. The
holy Kaaba in a dream also represents the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, the
gathering of believers, the local markets and the vicinity of the holy Mosque. If
one sees that his own house has become the Kaaba and people are seeking it
and crowds are gathering at his door in a dream, it means that he will be
endowed with wisdom, gain knowledge and act upon it, and that people will
learn at his hand and follow his example. Performing some of the required rites
at the holy Kaaba in a dream also means that one may work for someone in
authority, or serve a man of knowledge, a shaikh, a renunciate, one’s father,
one’s mother, or it could mean that one has a master who demands clarity, true
following and hard-work from his students and disciples. (Also see Circum-

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

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

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)

One’s nerves in a dream represent his comportment, bearing and pres¬
ence. Irritation of one’s nerves in a dream means distress and sorrow. If a nerve
is cut off in a dream, it represents a broken life, and for a sick person it
