( arb . Alcove; Niche; Prayer niche) In a dream, a prayer niche or a mihrab
represents a leader, a guide, or the Imam of a mosque. Praying at the mihrab
in a dream means glad tidings. If a woman sees herself praying at the mihrab
of a mosque in a dream, it means that she will beget a son or a daughter. In a
dream, the alcoves or shelters that poor people use for their retreats in a
mosque represent sincerity, love, devotion, remembrance of God Almighty,
standing in night prayers, and aloofness. Building a mihrab inside one’s house
in a dream means bearing male children. Otherwise, it means that such a
property will be donated by its owner for religious use. Seeing an incorrectly
positioned prayer niche in a mosque in a dream means deviation for God’s path
and erring in one’s words and actions. In a dream, a mihrab also represents
lawful sustenance or a pious wife. If one sees the prayer niche of a mosque
misdirected, or if it emits a vile odor, or if one sees the corpse of a dead animal
lying inside it in a dream, it indicates that the one who is seeing the dream is
an unbeliever, an innovator and a hypocrite.

Penny
(Cent; Money) For a pregnant woman, pennies in a dream represent a son,
or a sign of gratitude, prayers and remembrance of God, or they could mean
assaulting someone, or beating him. If one receives pennies in a stack in a
dream, it means that someone will place a trust with him. Pennies in a dream
also mean talking. If they look new, the conversation will be meaningful.
Pennies in a dream also mean solving someone’s problem, or performing one’s
prayers. Counting pennies in a dream means valuing one’s deeds. Nickels,
dimes, quarters, halves, or other coins or tokens in a dream represent worldly
gains and prosperity. Ifpennies are tied to one’s wrist in a dream, they represent
his livelihood. Owing money in a dream means that one will be summoned to
testify in a court of justice. If his pennies are old, chipped, or broken in the
dream, they denote a faltering faith. Losing a penny in a dream means wasting
time and money, or wasting one’s words, or advising an ignorant person who will
not heed his advice. If one’s pennies carry the picture of a person in a dream,
it means that both the carrier and the one who mints these pennies are
innovators. Broken pennies in half in a dream represent an enmity that cannot
be healed. Receiving money in a dream is better than giving it. If one’s actual
liquid asset turns into pennies in a dream, it means insolvency or bankruptcy.
If one’s little money grow in a dream, it means prosperity. (Also see Cent; Money)

Zikr
(Hymn; Remembrance of God; Songs of God’s love; Supplications) If one sees
himself in a dream participating in a circle of people remembering God Al¬
mighty, or calling upon His most beautiful name, or invoking His divine
attributes, or reading the Quran, or reciting devotional songs, it means that
such location will be built as a holy place to celebrate God’s praises. The
goodness of that place depends on the quality of reading, or the degree of
devotion seen in the dream. When it is an ascetic song in the dream, it means
that one’s deputyship is established correctly, but if one sees himself singing
a sensual love song, then it means temptations. If one sees himself repeatedly
calling God’s name in a dream, it means that he will win victory over his enemy.
Calling people to God and reminding them of His attributes in a dream
represents the work of a preacher who admonishes people, helps them to the
shore of safety, and distances them from their sins and their consequences. If
a merchant sees himself callingupon God’s beautiful names in a dream, it means
that his business will be saved from bankruptcy. If a disbeliever, a profane or
a secular person sees himself in a state of remembering God Almighty and
calling upon His most holy attributes in a dream, it means that he may fall sick,
or face great adversities, while in his heart, he will remain pleading with God
Almighty for mercy and relief, though he may remain silent in public regarding
his inner faith, and in fear of being ridiculed by his own circles. If during his
dream one speaks words of truth and wisdom, it means that he will recover from
his adversity and be cured from his illness. Furthermore, he will move into a
more comfortable life and begin a life of sharing and doing good deeds in this
world, or he may receive guidance and light, and faith will permeate his heart.
If one says his prayers with a twang in a dream, it means that he will linger in
difficulties, and that people will mock him too. (Also see Supplications)

David
(Prophet David, upon whom be peace.) If one sees him in a dream, it means
that he will gain power, authority, commit a sin, become an ascetic, be tried and
oppressed by an unjust person, then he will be saved by God’s leave and regain
the upper hand over his enemy. He will also receive an exalted office or rank of
honor. It is also said, that if one sees the prophet David (uwbp) in a dream, that
his country or town will be governed by a just ruler, an honorable president or
a righteous judge. If in fact the ruler or the judge of that town, county or country
is an unjust person, then seeing God’s prophet David (uwbp) in a dream means
that God Almighty will surely replace him with a just and an honorable one. If
one becomes God’s prophet David (uwbp), or if he wears his robe in the dream
it means that he will be appointed as a judge, if he qualifies. If he does not
qualify, it means that he will prosper, or that he will grow in piety and become
righteous through much devotion, piety, sadness and crying in fear of his Lord
and love for Him. Seeing the prophet David (uwbp) in a dream also means
deputyship, trials with women, trouble caused by women, or it could mean
recitation of the Quran or being in a state of constant remembrance of God
Almighty, prayers, supererogatory prayers at night, understanding the meaning
of what one reads, repentance from sin, chanting songs of God’s love, returning
to God’s path after heedlessness, manufacturing and processing minerals, or it
could represent God’s acceptance of one’s repentance. Should one be in such a
manufacturing or processing business, it means that great wealth will come to
him, or that his adversities will be of little importance. Seeing the prophet David
(uwbp) in a dream also means reaching a successful conclusion to one’s life in
this world. If an unjust man of knowledge sees him frowning at him or warning
him, then one must be at his guard, fear any wrongdoing and correct himself.

Personal guard
A personal guard in a dream represents night vigil, prayers,
constant remembrance of God Almighty and invoking His attributes. On the
other hand, seeing one’s personal guard in a dream may mean evil or blatancy.
