Five times prayers
(Communication; Communion; Invocations; Prayers; arb. Salat)
To see oneself performing one’s obligatory prayers (arb. Fardh ) in a dream means
receiving a high ranking appointment, spiritual advancement, leadership,
presiding over people, delivering a message, performing a duty, paying dues,
turning over one’s trust or satisfying obligatory deeds and enjoying peace. If one
sees himself in a dream performing one of the five obligatory prayers on time,
having performed the proper ablution and correctly completed its obeisance of
the proper standing, bowing and prostrating postures, standing with reverence
and piety and facing the Ka‘aba, it means that he will perform a religious duty
or attend the annual pilgrimage in Mecca. It also means that he will extricate
himself from an unjust deed he fell into and repent, or it could mean eschewing
evil. Performing the divinely ordained prayers in dream also means loyalty to
one’s promise, employment for a person who could not find a job, or reconcili¬
ation with a long forsaken friend or relative. If one leads the prayers in his
dream, it means that he will guarantee something to someone, or it could means
that he will borrow money for a term. If one prays behind an Imam in the dream,
it means that he will become a burden to others. The midday prayers known in
Arabic as Zuhur signify a manifestation, a proclamation or exposing what is
hidden. Praying Zuhur in a dream means attaining one’s goal, satisfying every
need, obtaining everything one has asked for from earthly gains in this world,
or it could mean spiritual benefits in the hereafter and particularly if one sees
himself completing his prayers in the dream. Completing one’s prayers means
achieving one’s goal. If one is incarcerated because of a debt and sees himself
completing his Zuhur prayers in a dream, it means that someone will pay his
debt for him and gets him released from prison and he will then prosper. If one
sees himself performing his Zuhur prayers in a clear day and feels happy about
it in his dream, it means that he will engage in some work that will make him
famous and that he will enjoy the fruits of his work as much as he did in that
clear and beautiful day in his dream. If one performs his midday Zuhur prayers
in a cloudy day in a dream, it means that his work will be distressful. As for the
mid-afternoon prayers, known in Arabic as Asr, performing it in a dream means
taking a vow or making a promise. This prayer in a dream also represents one’s
liability. If one sees himself performing the ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means
that what he is asking for will materialize, though after some hardships and
adversities. If one does not complete his ‘Asr prayers in a dream, it means that
what he is asking for may not take place. If one sees himself performing the
sunset prayers, known in Arabic as Maghrib in a dream, it means that what he
is seeking has reachd its term. If one completes his Maghrib prayers in the
dream, it means that he will get what his heart desires. As for the night prayer,
known in Arabic as ‘Isha. If one sees himself performing his ‘Isha prayers in a
dream, it means that he will complete his work and get what he wants, or it could
mean the end of his life, following which, one u su ally attends to his resting time,
which is similar to death. If one sees himself performing the daybreak prayers
before dawn in a dream, it means that the morning has come and it will be soon
before he hears either good or bad news. On another level, if one sees himself
praying the evening ‘Isha prayers in a dream, it means that he is committed to
attend to his family’s needs as commanded by God Almighty, such as providing
for their food, clothing, shelter and teachings. If one sees himself praying in the
middle of the night (arb. Witter) in a dream, it means that he does attend to his
family’s needs and perhaps they feel comfort in his presence. If one sees himself
performing the dawn Fajr prayers in a dream, it means that he will start with
the inevitable, such as working to provide for his family. If one sees himself
performing the midday Zuhur prayers at the time of the mid-afternoon prayers
in a dream, it means that he will repay his debts. If one’s midday Zuhur prayers
or his mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers are interrupted in the dream, it means that
he will pay half of what he owes. If one sees himself performing the mid¬
afternoon prayers in a dream, it means that his job will shortly be completed and
only little work is left for him to finish. Praying the sunset Maghrib prayers in
a dream means finishing one’s duties and it is time for him to take a rest. The
night ‘Isha prayers in a dream means veiling things or entering the privacy of
one’s home. On a third level, the midday guhur prayers mean repentance, dis¬
missal or abrogation of laws. The midday Zuhur prayers also could mean
struggling against Satan and one’s enemies, which struggle takes place usually
at the time of one’s midday nap. The mid-afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream also
represents victory in one’s life, or it could mean guidance, blessings and
observing God’s laws. The sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means losing a
parent, the passing away of one’s guardian, the death of a close friend or the
impeachment of the person the dream indicate. Seeing oneself praying the night
‘Isha prayers in a dream means preparing for a journey, or it could mean
marriage, moving from one place into another, or it could mean suffering from
cataract, weakness of one’s vision, or it could denote the vastness of what is to
come, for ‘Isha prayers are distant from the dawn Fajr prayers. Performing the
dawn Fajr prayers in a dream indicates a vow one pledges. Praying the mid¬
afternoon ‘Asr prayers in a dream means attaining ease after suffering from
hardships. Performing the sunset Maghrib prayers in a dream means having
crossed something that will come back later, and performing the night ‘Isha prayers
in a dream means deception and a tricks. If one sees himself performing the
Friday congregational prayers in a dream, it means that he will attain what he
is hoping for. If one sees himself praying inside a garden in a dream, it means

praying in a farmland in a dream, it means repayment of his debts. If he prays

eating honey in a dream, it means that he may engage in sexual intercourse with
his wife during the fasting hours. If a woman sees herself performing the
obligatory (arb. Fardh) prayers shortened to two grouping of prostrations in a
dream, it means that she will have her monthly menstrual period on that day.
If one discovers that he has missed the time of the prescribed prayer and could
not find a place or time to perform it in his dream, it means that he will face
difficulties finishing something or paying a debt or satisfy a worldly goal. If one
intentionally neglects to do an obligatory prayer, or if he plans to do the m la ter
(arb. Qada’) in the dream, it means that he takes his religious commitment
lightly and hopes to correct his attitude at a later time. Performing the Friday
congregational prayers in a dream is a sign of happiness, joy, festivities,
celebrations, the pilgrimage season, abstaining from borrowing money for one’s
accessories or luxuries. Performing the festival prayers (arb. Eid) at the end of

outwardly, and if he is called upon to judge between people, it means that his
judgment will be wrong or that he may follow his own mind, or it could mean
affectation, falsehood, hypocrisy, hiding the truth or unjustly confiscating
someone’s money. If one changes the order of the ritual prayers in a dream, it
means that he disobeys his parents or objects to someone he is supposed to hear

or oft-distracted during prayers. If one sees himself leading the funeral prayers
in a dream, and then after completinghis prayers intercedes exaggeratedly with
special invocations on behalf of the deceased in a dream, it means that he will

providing the necessary care for one’s family, while performing the supplementary
prayers {arb. Sunnah) means working to provide extra comforts for one’s family.
The same interpretation is provided for performing the congregational night
prayers of the month of Ramadan known in Arabic as Tarawih. Seeing that in
a dream means taking care of the family needs and bringing comfort to their
hearts. During a congregational prayer, if the rows are straight in the dream,
it means that such people are in a constant state of celebrating God’s praises.
Supererogatory prayers in a dream also mean striving for unity with one’s
community, love for one’s brethren and constantly trying to serve and please
them with deeds, money, moral and financial support. If the person seeing the

means an illness, failures, contentment, or a warning about an affliction that
will befall one’s father, teacher, or a beloved. Performing a special prayer for
forgiveness {arb. Istighfar) in a dream means forgiveness for one’s sins and
acceptance of his repentance. If this prayer is performed in congregation in one’s

If the one performing such a special prayer is known to follow the guidance of
a spiritual teacher or shaikh, then his dream means lowering of his spiritual
status, for a true seeker has no questions. Performing a special prayer for the
safe return of a traveller in a dream (arb. Ghaib) means asking for suitable

any supererogatory prayer, whether during the day or the night in a dream
means performing a good deed that brings someone closer to his Lord, or
reconciling adversaries, or fostering love between people. If one sees himself
laughing during his prayers in a dream, it means that he oft-forgets his prayers
and that he is delinquent about performing them properly and on time. If one
sees himself praying while drunk in a dream, it means that he will give a false
testimony in court. If one sees himself praying without the required ablution in
a dream, it means that his religious performance is worthless and that his
adherence is despicable. If one sees himself standing in prayers toward the
wrong direction in a dream, it means that he does the opposite of what he is
required to do, or that he acts the opposite of what God Almighty has ordained.
If one sees himself turning his back toward God’s House in a dream, it means
that he is an apostate who rejects God’s religion or that he does not care about
it. If one sees the people in the mosque facing another direction in his dream,
it means that their leader or judge will be dismissed from his office, or that he
neglects to follow the prescribed rules of his religion, or that he follows his own
mind and desire in making religious interpretations. However, performing one’s
prayers and turning with helplessness toward any direction and crying for help
in a dream means seeking God’s nearness, or asking to be accepted by other
believers for an unacceptable indulgence or a non-permissible opinion, or it
could mean travelling in the direction he faced in his dream. If one sees himself
praying eastward or westward and beyond the point of God’s House in Mecca
in a dream, it means that he is a despicable person who is full of arrogance, who
backbites and slanders others and who is daring to indulge in sin and disobedience
to his Lord. If one could not find the direction of the Ka‘aba in his dream, it means
that he has doubt about his faith. However, if one sees himself facing the holy
Ka‘aba in the dream, it means that he is walking on the straight path. If one sees
himself wearing a white garb and reading the Quran in the dream, it means that
he will join the caravan of pilgrims to Mecca. God knows best. (Also see Death;

Clothing
(Dwellings; Face; Look; State; Transient) One’s garment in a dream
represents his innermost thoughts that will eventually show in his attitude in
life. If one’s thoughts are good, then it will show, and if they are evil, they will
also manifest. If one wears a slipper over his head and a turban in his foot in
a dream, it means that he is carrying trouble. Depending on its type and name,
a garment in a dream could represent a man or a woman. Wearing a new
garment in a dream is better than seeing an old one. If a man sees himself
wearing a woman’s apparel in a dream, it means that he is a bachelor. If a woman
sees herself wearing a man’s garment in a dream, it means that she is
unmarried. Wearing a tightly buttoned shirt in a dream means experiencing
tight circumstances or reuniting with a traveller returning home, or it could

Scholars
(Early companions; Legist; Masjid; Men of knowledge; Mosque; Reli¬
gious doctors; Righteous men) A scholar in a dream represents glad tidings, a
promotion, or a commendation and it represents one who acts upon what he
knows and says. Seeing one of the early scholars in a dream means increase in
one’s knowledge, for they were the wise representatives of God’s message on
earth. Seeing them also means increase in one’s wisdom, happiness, joy, and
one’s dream could mean that one will stand to admonish people or counsel them.
Seeing the early righteous people and the blessed companions of God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, in a dream means growth of one’s righteousness. If one sees
a scholar who is considered to be a reference in religious knowledge, and if one
accepts his admonition in the dream, though in wakefulness he does not follow
this school of thought, it means that he will be tried with an adversity that will
be remembered by people for sometime to come, though his testimony will be
accepted by the people. If a well-known early scholar appears in one’s dream
when the dwellers of that locality are experiencing adversities, economic
distress or a drought, it means that their calamity will be lifted. Seeing an
unknown scholar, or an unknown religious doctor in a dream means that a
physician or a philosopher may visit one’s house. (Also see Legist; Companions
of the Prophet; uwbp; Masjid; Mosque)

dates in a dream means earning lawful income. Dates are like money, they do
not have a long shelve life. Unripened dates in a dream indicate the availability
of water for those who need it. Red unripened dates in a dream may signify some
type of blood disease, whereby the red cells grow to exceed in number the white
cells. Dates in a dream also mean rain. Eating dates in a dream means reading
the Holy Quran and reaping benefits from one’s religion. Buried dates in a
dream represent one’s savings. If one sees himself burying dates in a dream, it
also means stealing from the property and money of orphans. Dates placed to
dry in the open represent money which does not last. To harvest dates in a dream
in season means that one may get married to a noble and a wealthy woman. It
also means acquiring knowledge. Harvesting dates out of season in a dream
means that one will learn something good but fail to act upon it. If one see that
he is fanning himself with a tender and a wet branch of a palm tree in a dream
it means learning something beneficial from a hypocrite, or it may mean relief
from distress. If a woman sees herself eating ripened dates that are dripping
with juices in the dream, it means that she will receive an inheritance from her
husband and that her name will be included in his will, even if she is divorced.
If one sees himself taking a date, splitting it in half and extracting the date pit
from it in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. Eating fresh dates in a

Muhammad
(God’s Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him; The
Seal of the prophets; The last Messenger) It is related that God’s Messenger,
upon whom be peace, has said: “One who sees me in a dream will see me in his
wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”He also has said: “One who sees
me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. ”
He also has said: “One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell. ”
Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who
tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the
details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin’s reply was: “You have not seen
him.” Asim Bin Kulayb once said: “I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and
that of his father, that I saw God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied:
“Describe him to me.” Asim Bin Kulayb added: “I described him as resembling
Al-Hassan son of‘Ali, upon both of them be peace.” Ibn Abbas replied: “Indeed
you have seen him.” Ibn ‘Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God’s
Prophet (uwbp) is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of
his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being
is as affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his
example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of
prophethood. When God’s Prophet (uwbp) said: “He will see me in wakefulness,”
it means: ‘Expounding upon what he saw,’ for what one sees in such a dream is
the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: “It is as if he has truly seen me,” it
means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God’s massage, the
example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true
while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees
God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means
blessings and benefits, and if one sees God’s prophet (uwbp) turning away from
him in a dream, it means the opposite. Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, God bless his soul, in¬
terpreted the words of God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his saying: “Has truly seen me,"
to mean: “has truly seen my physical form,” that the blessed companions knew,
while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one’s dream connotes
personal interpretations. Following the explanation of Al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Imam Al-
Nawawi commented by saying: “This is a weak explanation. A stronger inter¬
pretation is to say that one who sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream has seen
him in reality however his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance
in the dream is known or not.” In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani
added: “What Al-Qadi ‘Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawawi
has said.” This is because the first dream does not require interpretation,
according to Al-QadI ‘Iyad. In the second type of dream, that is discussed in
Imam Al-Nawawi’s comments, one’s dream does require interpretation or
analysis. This is to mean that since no Satan can impersonate God’s Prophet
(uwbp), then whatever appearance he displays in one’s dream is true. The
meaning of God’s prophet’s saying: “For Satan cannot impersonate me, ” implies
that since God’s guardianship (Isma ) is inviolable, and since God’s Prophet,
upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time
of delivering God’s message to humanity, he is still protected by the same
guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees
God’s Prophet (uwbp) in any appearance in a dream, it is as if has seen him in
reality, regardless whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of
delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a
dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war.
If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his
traditions. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in his known and recognized appear¬
ance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his
integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him
(uwbp) in a dream frowning represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream.
Ibn Abi Jumrah once said: “Seeing Him (uwbp) in a beautiful appearance
denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him
with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one’s application
of his religious duties, for God’s Prophet (uwbp) is like a mirror that portrays
the one standing before it.” In this sense, the person seeing the dream can
recognize his own state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi,
God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of ‘Sharh al-Shama-il’ of Imam Al-
Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His
signs, prophets or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner
sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released form prison. If one is living
at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the
land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him
in his beautiful, radiant and impeccable appearance as best described by his
companions in a dream means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion
to one’s life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one’s heart
and how well polished is his own mirror determines in what appearance he may
see him, upon whom be peace. If God’s Prophet (uwbp) comes toward someone
in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him
on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives
a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God’s Prophet promises him something, or prays
for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is
a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil,
and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper
and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed
ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty,
it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living
in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his
goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being
to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one is fearing oppression,
persecution, or loss of his property and wealth sees him (uwbp) in a dream, it

a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees
moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God’s praises in his hand, among
countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension ( Miraj ) to
the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it
means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in
the land, for God’s prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his
companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God’s
leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the
unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a dream,

his trust. If one sees him (uwbp) having a large chest in a dream, it means that
the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees
his blessed stomach (uwbp) empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the
country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the
Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the
collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand (uwbp) open in a dream,
it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution
of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God’s book. If his hands are locked
together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler
of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream,
including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg
beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one’s clan will become stronger,
and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God’s Prophet tall in
a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees

release of a prisoner from his jail. Seeingoneself in a dream as the father of God’s
Prophet (uwbp) means that one’s faith will diminish and his certitude will
weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God’s Prophet
(uwbp), it represents her growing faith. If one sees him (uwbp) looking into one’s
affairs in a dream, it means that God’s Prophet (uwbp) is admonishing the one
seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To
walk behind him (uwbp) in a dream means following his ( Sunnah ) traditions in
wakefulness. To eat with him (uwbp) in a dream means that one is commanded
to pay the annual alms tax ( Islamic law) due over one’s money making assets,
or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewelry, savings, etcetera, excepting one’s home or
vehicle. If one sees God’s Prophet (uwbp) eating alone in a dream, it means that
the one seeing the dream refuses to give charities and disdains to help those who
ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace, is
commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him
(uwbp) bare footed in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do his regular
prayers. To see him (uwbp) and to shake hands with him in a dream means that
one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that one will marry a woman from among his

turn to God Almighty for acceptance. If he (uwbp) reprimands someone in a
dream, it means that one must refrain from innovation and follow the prophetic

Arrows
In a dream, arrows mean messages, a messenger, writings, victory over
one’s enemy. If a woman sees her husband’s arrows in their quiver in a dream,
it means that her husband has turned away from her. Arrows in a dream also
are an indicator or a guide. Seeing an arrow outside its quiver, means failure
to perform one's duty or inability to deliver one’s message. Shooting arrows in
a dream means writing letters. If one shoots an arrow but fails to hit his target
in the dream, it means that he will send a messenger to do something and his
messenger will fail to deliver. If one sees a woman shooting him with an arrow
in a dream, it means that she is showing kindness toward him and consequently
he may fall in love with her, or he may marry her. If one shoots an arrow and
hits his target in a dream, it means that he will reach his goal, or if he wishes
to have a child, it means that he will bear a son. An arrow in a dream also
represents a messenger, profits, a son, longevity or new clothing. If the arrows
are made from reeds in one’s dream, they mean falsehood and prattle. If they
have arrowheads in the dream, then they represent a talkative person who if
he hits his target, it means that he does what he says. If the arrowhead breaks

Prophet
In a dream, each one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save
his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream,
a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings.
If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or
follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks
from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something
from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it
demonstrates his trueness, faith in God’s oneness, following His Messenger and
being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads
them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them
in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could
also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream
also represents a ruler or a king, and God’s prophets are in truth the guardians
of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in
a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the
heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know
God’s prophets better than the common people. They understand their message
and follow their traditions of glorifying God’s Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers,
charity, acting upon what they know and admonishing others to follow the path
of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one’s superior,
a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher and a caller to God
Almighty. Seeing any of God’s prophets looking gracious, stately and courtly in
a dream also represents his people’s devotion, or that a major and a positive
change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious,
unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God’s prophets,
it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created
their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his
message to their own liking and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a
prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he
qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher or a caller to God Almighty,
commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that
he will be inflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or
innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to
God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the
dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will
become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of
knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his
life. Such a calamity will be of the same caliber, degree and nature that a
messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his own people. Seeing one
of God’s prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space and
condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God’s
prophets in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or presiding over people, or
acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered
and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in
a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with
patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all
his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream
means trueness in one’s faith, compliance with God’s religion, certitude and
determination. Becoming one of God’s prophets, upon all of them be peace and
blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering
from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one
will escape from destruction or humiliation by God’s leave and through His
subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help
in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person
seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If
one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a
promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God’s prophets on earth
in a dream means honor, dignity, success, piety and wealth if one is suited for
such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God
Almighty beats a righteous and a sincere believer in a dream, it means that he
will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to
someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honor, status,
knowledge, wisdom and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be
peace.)

Shooting arrows
In adream, shooting arrows is interpreted like shelling someone
or a place. Otherwise, they means backbiting people or slandering them.
Shooting arrows in a dream also could mean taking medicine, or giving an
injection to a patient. If the arrows do not have arrowheads in the dream, then
they mean disappointment. If one shoots arrows and finds himself also at the
receiving end in a dream, it means that he will attain his goal of meeting his
Lord. However, if he remains in this world, it means that he will rise in station
and receive honor. If one sees two rows of people shooting arrows at each other
in his dream, it means that the successful ones would be right and the losers
would be at fault. Shooting arrows at people in a dream then means backbiting
people, slandering them, or it could mean vain talking. If one constantly fails
his aim in his dream, it means that he has an evil speaking tongue. Hitting one’s
target in a dream means attaining one’s goals, or speaking the truth regarding
someone he knows. Wearing a white garment and standing on top of a mountain
and shooting arrows toward the East and the West in a dream means attaining
a vast control over people and lands, if one qualifies. One’s arrows in a dream
also represent his message or writings. (Also see Arrows; Hunting; Shelling)
