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 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

earning and a source of strength in his life. Buying a copy of the Holy Book in

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

King
(God Almighty; Governor; Mayor; President; Royalty; Sultan) The true King
is God Almighty. If the king is pleased with someone in a dream, it means that
God Almighty is pleased with him, and if the king is angry with him in the
dream, it means that God Almighty is displeased with him. If one sees the king
frowning in a dream, it means that he fails to properly perform his prayers or
show true religious devotion. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means profits
in one’s material as well as spiritual life. If one sees that God Almighty has
appointed him as a king over a land, it means that he will receive such a regency,
should he qualify. Later on, unrest will bring tyrants, or dictators to justice,
while people of knowledge and piety will survive and regain their authority. If
one sees himself as a calif or as an Imam in a dream and should he qualify, it
means that he will receive such an honor, rank, trust and fame in the land,
though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen
if he becomes a calif in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment.
In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his own
helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.
If one sees himself as a king in a dream, though in reality he does not qualify,
it means that he may die quickly, and the same is true if a sick person sees
himself turned into a king. If he is healthy, it means that someone in his family
may die shortly. Seeing a king in a dream also denotes exposing hidden secrets.
If a philosopher or a fortuneteller sees himself transformed into a king in a
dream, then it denotes glad tidings should he not complain about it in his dream.
If a slave sees himself becoming a king in a dream, it means that he will be set
free. If one sees himself becoming one of the great kings of this world in a dream,

knighthood that is suitable only for woman, then it means his death. If one sees
the kingreprimandinghim in a dream, it means peace between them. If one sees
himself arguing a case with knowledge and wisdom before a king in a dream,
it means that he will win his case and receive what he came for. If one sees
himself complaisant with the king about his case in the dream, it means that
he will lose his case and the judgment will go the king’s way. If one sees himself
walking with a king and rubbing shoulders with him in the dream, it means that
he will oppose the king or disobey him. If he sees himself following the king in
a dream, it means that he will pursue the king’s traditions during his lifetime
or after his death. If one enters the king’s palace prostrating in a dream, it means
that he will be appointed in a leadership position and receive the king’s pardon.
If one sees himself mixing with the king’s harem, or sleeping with them and
should there be signs of comfort, trueness, or wisdom in his act in the dream,
it means that he will enter the king’s inner circles. Otherwise, should he in the
dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or
if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should
he reach the king’s door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies
inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king
gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honor in his life to equal
the value of that gift. If the king gives him a brocaded silk garment in the dream,
it means that he will give him a wife from the royal family. If the king speaks
to someone in a dream, it means honor, fame, wealth after poverty, release from
jail, expansion of one’s business, or victory over one’s enemy. If an appointed
governor sees himself looking into a mirror in a dream, it means that he will be
dismissed from his post. If an appointed king sees someone who looks like him
sitting in his throne in a dream, it means that he will beget a son. If he divorces
his wife in a dream, it means that he will abdicate his throne. To see oneself
sleeping with the king in the same bed and without a curtain between them, and
if the king leaves the bed while one remains resting therein in the dream, it
means that his mixing with the king will incur jealousy, or that he will inherit
him. If one leaves the bed before the king, it means that he will escape from a
great danger. If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king’s bed in a dream, it
means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may
spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is
in the palace though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a
member of that government. If a king hears his subjects praising him in a dream,
it means that he will show good qualities. If his subjects shower him with money
in a dream, it means that they speak ill of him or cast blame at him. If they
shower him with sugar in the dream, it means they speak nicely of him, and if
they shower him with stones in the dream, it means that they will speak harshly
of him. If one sees the people paying obeisance and bowing to him in a dream,
it means that they will stand humbly before him. If they prostrate themselves
before him in a dream, it means that they truly praise him. If a king sees himself
following the opinion of a woman in a dream, it means that he will lose his
kingdom or fall victim to depression, or that he will be thrown into jail. If he
opposes her in the dream, it means that he will escape from a great danger. If
a king sees himself walking in a dream when a common subject comes near him
and whispers something in his ear, the commoner here represents the angel of
death ‘Izrail, and it means that the king may die a sudden death. Eating from
the hand of one’s servant in a dream represents the growing of one’s authority,
increase of his business, knowledge, or wisdom. If a king sees himself preparing
a banquet for guests in a dream, it means that his opponents will come to argue
their case, though he will win over them. If he sees himself placing food on the
table in a dream, it means that a messenger will come to see him concerning a
dispute. If the food is sweet, then the problem will end nicely. If the food is
greasy, then the problem will be a lasting one. Sour food then means steadfastness.
Eating on the table of a just and a righteous king in a dream means blessings
and honor. If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means
that he is a humble, just, and a strong ruler. A sick king in a dream represents
weakness in his faith and injustice toward his subjects. If the king is carried over
people’s shoulders in a dream, it means lack of faith and lack of attendance to
one’s religious obligations, or weakness in his ruling. If the king dies and does
not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviates.
If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means
that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees
otherwise. If one sees the king’s head transformed into a ram’s head in a dream,
it means that the king is a just and a kind ruler. If his head is transformed into
a dog’s head in the dream, then it represents his vile nature. If his chest turns
into a stone in the dream, it means that his heart will become like a rock. If one
sees his own hand turn into the king’s hand in a dream, it means that he will
receive a leadingjob. If one sees the king flying with wings in a dream, it means
that his authority will spread. If his fingers increase in shape or number in the
dream, it means that his greed and injustice will manifest. Any dream about a
deceased king will manifest in his successors or in his progeny.

marriage to a noble person. Walking away from Mecca in a dream means

dream, it represents his death. If one sees the sun rising from an unusual

dream, it means begetting a blessed son or receiving an important appointment
or profits from one’s business. Seeing the gathering of several crescents in a
dream means attending the pilgrimage to Mecca. A red crescent in a dream
means a miscarriage. If a crescent falls to the earth in a dream, it means a

journey or the climbing of a muezzin to the minaret to call for prayers or the

of a serpent or a scorpion in the dream, then it denotes evil. Seeing the new
crescent in a dream in the same night it is supposed to be born means that one’s
wife will conceive a child. In a dream, a new crescent also represents a little
child, repentance from sin, dispelling adversities, release from prison or recovering
