Sale
If one sees himself as a prisoner being sold in a slave market in a dream, it
means honor if the buyer is a woman, and difficulties if the buyer is a man. The
higher the price he is auctioned for, the better or worse is his luck. In a dream,
the more loss the buyer incurs, the better it is for the traded subject and vice-
versa. There is also a difference between seeing oneself being auctioned and
being sold. Being auctioned in a dream means evil. To sell means to part with.
In a dream, the buyer is the seller and the seller is a buyer. Selling means giving
preference and value to the merchandise. If what is being sold is worldly, the
preference is then given to one’s benefits in the hereafter. Selling in a dream also
means exchanging one condition with another. However, bartering in a dream
means to exchange the benefit of things, or to share them. If for example one sees
himself in a dream trading something of no value for something precious, and
if he is a warrior, it means that he will die as a martyr. Selling a free man in
a dream means rotation of power and reaching a praiseworthy end. As it
happened in the story of Joseph son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace. (See

claims to market his merchandise, it means that he will turn into that state to
live in falsehood and oppose his own conscious. This includes prejudice, belit¬
tling the value of things, underweighing the selling measures, or accumulating
interest from usury. A wheat salesman in a dream denotes someone who loves
the world and does not think about his life in the hereafter. If one sees himself
receiving money for his merchandise, or if he discards his profits from the sale
in his dream, such an act maybe rewarding. Selling yarn in a dream means
travel. Selling salt in a dream means earning extra money. Selling expensive
fashion clothing and declining from taking money in a dream represents a
trustworthy person who will attain a high ranking position. A fruit salesman

Marketplace: Going to the marketplace in a dream means seeking knowledge, or
looking for work. A marketplace in a dream also represents a mosque, or
winning a war. In fact, the merchants and the customers bargain with one
another, some win and some lose. If a knowledge seeking student sees himself
in a marketplace that he does not recognize, then if he walks away from it in
the dream, it means that he will cease schooling or interrupt his studies and
fail to acquire his degree, or it could mean that he has missed his Friday
congregational prayers. It also could mean that the knowledge he is seeking is
not intended to please God Almighty. If one sees himself shoplifting in a dream,
it means that he steals, or holds contempt and conceit in his heart, or if he is
a man of knowledge, it means that he will foster falsehood or become affected.
If one sees a common marketplace on fire, or filled with people, or with a stream
of fresh water running in the middle of it, or if it is fragrant with perfumes in
the dream, then it represents good business for everyone and increase in their
profits, though hypocrisy will later on spread among the people. Otherwise, if
one finds the shops closed, the merchants drowsing and spiders webs spreading
in every corner and covering the merchandise in the dream, it means stagnation
of business or suffering major losses. Seeing the marketplace in a dream is also
interpreted to represent the world. Whatever affects it will show in people’s
lives, in their mosques, churches, or temples including their profits, losses,
clothing, recovering from illness, lies, stress, sorrows or adversities. If the
market is quiet in the dream, then it represents the laziness of its salespeople.

Masjid
(arb. God’s House; Mosque; Place of worship) In Arabic, the word masjid
means a place of prostration, while the word Jami means a place of gathering.
A masjid or a mosque in a dream represents a scholar and its gates represent
men of knowledge and the guardians, or the attendants of God’s House. Building
a masjid in a dream means emulating the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon
whom be peace, fostering the unity of one’s family, or becoming a judge, should
one qualify for such an office. A masjid filled with people in a dream represents
a gnostic, a man of knowledge and wisdom, or a preacher who invites people
to his house, advises them, brings their hearts together, teaches them the
precepts of their religion and explains the wisdom behind the divine revelations.
Seeing a masjid being demolished in a dream means that such a gnostic, or
religious scholar and devout believer will die in that locality. In a dream, if the
roof of a masjid caves in, it means that one will indulge in an abominable action.
If one sees a stranger performing his prayers in a masjid in a dream, it means
that the Imam of that masjid will dies from a terminal illness. If one enters a
masjid in the company of a group of people, and if they dig a small hole for him
inside the masjid in the dream, it means that he will get married. If one’s house
becomes a masjid in a dream, it means that he will attain piety, purity of heart,
escetic detachment and an honor he will receive from his brethren. He will also
call upon them to follow what is true and to abstain from what is false. If a masjid
is transformed into a bathhouse in a dream, it means that a chaste person will
turn corrupt or become heedless. A masjid in a dream also represents a
marketplace or a business. If one has to climb up a staircase to reach the masjid
in a dream, then the masjid represents a thrifty person who does not like to
share what he has. If one has to climb down a staircase to reach the masjid in
a dream, it means that his needs will be satisfied. If a masjid in the city is moved
to a remote village in a dream, it means stagnation of one’s business, being
ostracized from one’s community, or it could mean legal complications related
to one’s inheritance. If a ruler builds a house for God Almighty or a masjid in
a dream, it means that he will be a just ruler and he will govern his subject by
the divine laws. If a religious scholar builds a masjid in a dream, it means that
he will author a book that will benefit others, or delivers a commentary on a
complex religious issue, or if he is wealthy, it means that he will pay the alms
tax due on his assets. Building a masjid in a dream also means getting married,
or conceiving a child who will grow to become a righteous and a knowledgeable
scholar, or if one is poor, it means that he will become rich. Otherwise, it means
that one will serve God’s House and fill it with invocations, supplications,
serving the interest of the community, leading the people to unity and love, and
teaching them to value obedience to God’s commands. Building a masjid in a
dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one’s
sins, or receiving guidance on God’s path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one
builds for God Almighty in a dream, represents his house in paradise. Such
interpretation applies if one builds a masjid following the proper procedures
and with lawfully earned money, and using proper materials. Otherwise,
building it with what is unlawful of money or materials in the dream, or
changing the direction of the prayer niche, etcetera, then one’s dream will carry
the opposite meaning. If one builds a masjid or a fellowship house in a dream,
it means that he will seek the path of knowledge and wisdom, or that he will
attend a pilgrimage during that same year, or establish a permanent business,
such as a hotel, a bathhouse or a shop, etcetera. Building the roof of a masjid
in a dream means taking care of orphans, or sponsoring homeless children.
Expanding a masjid in a dream means increase in one’s good deeds, repentance
from a sin, adopting good conduct, or being just. Seeing oneself inside a new
masjid one does not recognize in a dream means attending the pilgrimage to
God’s House in Mecca during that same year, or joining religious circles to learn
about one’s religion. If one’s shop becomes a masjid, or if the masjid becomes a
shop in the dream, it denotes lawful earnings, or it could mean mixing lawful
and unlawful earnings. A forsaken masjid or mosque in a dream means
intentionally ignoring the value of gnostics and religious scholars, or denying
the necessity to command what is good and to eschew what is evil. A forsaken
masjid in a dream also denotes the presence of ascetics who have renounced the
world and its people and care less about their material possessions. A known
mosque in a dream represents the city where it is erected. For instance, the Aqsa
mosque in a dream represents Jerusalem, the Sacred mosque represents Mecca,
the Prophet’s Mosque (uwbp) represents Medina, the Omayyad mosque represents
Damascus, Al-Azhar mosque represents Cairo and the Blue mosque represents
Istanbul, etcetera. A known mosque in a dream also could represent the
renowned scholars who live in that place, or the ruler of that country, or any
of his ministers. If one enters a mosque and immediately after crossing the
entrance gate, he prostrates himself to God Almighty in the dream, it means
that he will be given the opportunity to repent for his sins. If one comes to a
masjid and finds its doors locked, then if someone opens the door to him in a
dream, it means that he will help someone in paying his debt, then extol his good
virtues in public. If one enters a mosque riding on an animal in a dream, it means
that he will cut off his connection with his relatives, leave them behind and
forbid them to follow him. If one dies in a masjid in a dream, it means that he
will die as a true penitent. If the carpet or the straw mat of a mosque becomes
a shredded rag in the dream, it means that the community of that masjid is
divided and corrupt. Building a masjid in a dream also means overcoming one’s
enemy. Entering the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in a dream means arriving with
one’s bride to their new home and it could mean fulfillment of a promise, being
truthful, dispelling one’s fear and reaching the shore of safety. (Also see Minaret;
Minbar; Mosque)

(Cooking pot; Vessel) In a dream, a cooking pot represents one’s wife, his
livelihood and home, while the lid represents the husband. If the pot looks in
a good condition and of value in one’s dream, then it represents his nobility and
honor. A pottery cookware salesman in a dream represents comfort and one does
not need to travel to earn his livelihood, while a copper cookware or other types
of cookware salesman in a dream represent a livelihood based on travelling from
door to door. A cooking pot in a dream also represents a scholar or a man of
knowledge who is sitting in the teacher’s chair, while the meat, vegetables and
spices inside the pot represent his knowledge, wisdom and their benefits for the
seeker. A pot on fire with water boiling inside it in a dream represents a divorced
woman. A pot in a dream also represents a handsome looking man who cares
about his neighbors’ opinions. A pot in a dream also could represent a house¬
keeper . Whatever happens to it in a dream could affect the housekeeper. If there
is a sick person in a family, and if one sees a cooking pot he does not know what’s
inside it in a dream, the stove here represents his bed, the fire represents his
depression and the boiling water represents his worries. If the boiling stops, and
if the contents start to cool down, and if the fire is put off in one’s dream, it means
that he will recover from his illness. Putting a pot with meat and vegetables on
the stove in a dream means imposing oneself on someone to receive a favor. If
the meat is cooked in his dream, it means that one will greatly benefit from such
a person, and his earnings will be lawful. If the meat does not cook, it means that
whatever he earns through the other person will be unlawful. Stirring a pot in
a dream means backbiting someone. If one eats directly from the pot in a dream,
it represents money one could save otherwise beside other benefits. If the pot
one is stirring in his dream does not contain any meat or food, it means that he
will ask a poor person to do something beyond his means, and consequently he
will not benefit from his doing. A cooking pot in a dream also represents one’s
relentlessness toward his enemy. A pot in a dream also denotes one’s content¬
ment and his acceptance of his destiny and of the divine providence. A pot in a
dream also represents a woman or money. The sauce represents lawful earnings
that are accompanied with some hassles. (Also see Earthenware pot; Jar)

Fruit
(Dried fruits; Fresh fruits) In a dream, a sweet tasting fruit represents

earnings or aggravation of his illness. Eating or drinking any by-product that

pick up a fruit that fell from a tree in a dream means leading a fight against a
righteous person. If one sees a tree that bears fruit in warm weather bearing
fruit in the winter in a dream, it means that he will associate with someone
expecting to make a business deal, though their friendship will end in wasting
time and money. To pluck a fruit from a tree other than its own in a dream

dream also means marriage to a beautiful woman who will truly love her
husband. (Also see Jacob; Sale; Introduction p.p. xvi, xvii, xuiii)

city in a dream means the death of its ruler or an unjust governor from that
place. Seeing a city being built in a dream signifies the growing number of its
learned people and represents children who will continue the path of their
fathers. Seeing a city with no governor in a dream means rising prices. An

in a dream perhaps means that he is in paradise enjoying its blessings. Seeing
a deceased person in a village in a dream means that he might be in hell laboring
with its people. A city in a dream also represents the entertainment it provides
for its dwellers. The name of a city one sees in a dream should reflect some of
the meanings of one’s dream. (See Introduction). The industry of a city also has
a share in the dream interpretation. Known cities in the world in a dream
represent their rulers. Entering a city one already knows in a dream means that
one will not die until he enters it again, or it could mean that he will receive news
from that city. The walls of a city represent a strong ruler. A demolished wall
of a city in a dream signifies the death of its ruler or his removal from office. If
one sees a flourishing city with its urban construction, factories and farms, his
dream will reflect the spiritual awareness and religious devotion of its people.
