of the week in which the believers gather for their congregational prayers in a

mosque to return to their homes in the dream, it means loss of his status in that
town. If one joins the congregational prayers in the dream, it means that he will

gregational prayers in a dream is a sign of joy and living to join one of the two

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

Vice-regent
(Calif; Caliphate; Deputy; Human being; Minister; Ruler; Secretary
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
appointed justice of the peace. He also represents someone who inherits good
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,
upon whom be peace. Whatever he is wearing in the dream connotes one’s own
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.

represent a siren announcing a burglary or a fire. If a woman calls to prayers
on top of a minaret in a dream, it means innovation and that a major trial will
emerge in that locality. If a child calls to prayers from the top of a minaret and

falling exclusively over his house in a dream, it means personal blessings.
Otherwise, it he sees it falling over the whole town in the dream, it means
blessings for everyone. Rain falling exclusively over one’s house in a dream also
means that someone will fall sick in that house, or suffer from a debilitating and
excruciating pain. If the skies rain stones or blood in a dream, it means
calamities and punishment for people’s sins. If it rains dust or sand in a dream,
it represents an unjust ruler in that locality. If the skies rain dirt without dust,
it also means prosperity and a good harvest. If a traveller sees rain in a dream,
it means hindrances along his journey. A destructive rainstorm in a dream
denotes dishonesty, cheating with measures, or the spread of sodomy in the
community. Seeing a destructive rainstorm tearing down structures, destroying
homes and pulling down tress in a dream represents a punishment for the
corruption and sins of the dwellers of that place. A good rain in a dream could

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

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

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

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

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

‘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

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

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

Vapor; Water) In a dream, clouds represent the course of life which provides
people with rainwater to drink, water to wash their dirt, water for their crops
and sustenance. Clouds in a dream also represent knowledge, understanding,
wisdom, clarity as they show the divine kindness. Clouds in a dream also
represent an army or friends who carry the water and the water represents life
and the original element from which they were created. Clouds in a dream also
represent ships, airplanes, or if they are black or carry stones or bring thunder,
then they represent the antagonistic character of a leader who deprives his
people from their rights or causes them to suffer through restrictive laws or
harsh mandates. If one sees a cloud inside his house or descending upon him in
his room in a dream, it means that he will join the company of believers or
receives an award, or that he is endowed with wisdom, or should he wish for a
child, his wife will conceive one. If he is a merchant, it means that his
merchandise will arrive to its port of destination. If one sees himself riding over
a cloud in a dream, it means exaltation or marriage to a pious woman, or that
one will attend a pilgrimage should it be his wish. Otherwise, should he wish
for it, he will become renowned for his knowledge and wisdom. Should he
qualify, it means that he will lead an army, or that he will rise in rank, or that
he will be sent as an emissary of his government or as an ambassador. If people
are expecting clouds to water their farms, and should one see masses of clear
clouds carrying rains and coming in that direction in the dream, it means a
calamity. If the clouds carry poisonous rains or acid rains or polluted rains, or
if they are driven by heavy winds, or if they carry fires or dust or ashes or rocks
from a volcano, they mean that a calamity will strike that locality, or that they
will receive news about travellers the majority of whom will perish during a trip.
Clouds also mean innovations and man made religions that may spread throughout
the land. If one sees himself merging with the clouds in a dream, it means that
he associates himself with a person in authority or a wise man or a man of
knowledge. If one sees himself eating clouds in his dream, it means that he will

that he will commence his path of seeking knowledge then abandons it.
Swimming in a dream also means going to jail. Swimming on sand in a dream
means that one may be incarcerated, that his living conditions in his jail will
be constricted, and that he will suffer in his prison from hardships equal to the
difficulties he encounters during his swim in the dream. If one sees himself
swimming inside his own house in a dream, it means that he will work for a
ruthless, wicked and an unjust employer who will entrap him in his service
through a business deal. Consequently, God Almighty will help him out of his
entanglements. If one is afraid of swimming in the dream, it means that he is
scared of someone in authority. If he runs away from swimming in a dream, it
means that he will escape from him. If one sees himself entering waters where
he can swim successfully in a dream, it means that he will engage in a major
project, lead an important job, or acquire authority and power. If one swims on
his back in a dream, it means that he will repent for a sin. If he swims in the
sea and finds its water stagnant in the dream, it means that he will serve
someone in authority, though his job will bringhim nothingbut trouble and the
wrath of his employer. If he still manages to cross the sea in his dream, it means
that he will escape from dangers his employment could inflict upon him. If he
swims with fear in a dream, it means trouble, imprisonment, or a sickness he
will endure depending on the type of needed efforts or distance he has to cross.
Should he think in the dream that he will not be able to make it, then it means
his death. If he shows courage during his swim in the dream, it means that he
will be able to escape from such a dangerous job. Troubled waters in a dream
mean adversities. Swimming successfully across troubled waters in a dream
means overcoming one’s adversities. Any sea or agitated waters in a dream
represent the authorities or the state, whether it be a swamp, a lake, a pond,
a sea, or an ocean. If one sees himself drowning in a river, or a lake, then if he
is carried by others and laid on dry land motionless like a fish in a dream, this
also means trials and adversities. If one is saved from drowningbefore he wakes-
up from his sleep in the dream, it means that he will triumph over his trials.
Otherwise, if he dies from it in the dream, it means that he may die from such
adversities. If during his swim one meets a ship that pulls him out of the waters,
or to which he holds or grabs, it also means escape from adversities. If one
drowns in the dream, it means that he may die as a martyr, though having
previously indulged in many sins. To walk on water, whether it is the sea or a
river in a dream means good spiritual standing, religious assiduousness and a
strong faith and determination. Walking on water in a dream also could be
interpreted as ascertaining something about which one may have doubt, or
placing one’s trust in God Almighty before embarking on a dangerous trip. (Also

dream, it means that he will triumph over his enemies. If one sees himself
witnessing a contract or putting his seal on a testimony in a dream, it means
that he will loan money to the second party in the contract. If one sees himself
bearing a true testimony before someone and against the other in a dream, it
means that he will attend the pilgrimage in Mecca.

Flint stone
(Fire stone; Hard; Siliceous rock; Steel) In a dream, a flint stone means
searching for something that could bring profits or hoping for something to
happen, and both will take place. If one sees himself striking a flint stone with
a piece of steel to produce fire for cooking or for light, and if he sees the sparks
coming from them in a dream, it means that he will take advantage of his
friendship with someone in authority who is rock hearted to help him overcome
his poverty and to make his life more manageable. The flint stone in a dream
also represents the rock hearted man, and the steel represents his might. On
the other hand, if one strikes a flint stone with a piece of steel and produces
sparks from them in his dream, it means that he will witness an awesome fight
between two rock hearted and cruel people. Striking a flint stone in a dream also
means marriage of an unwed person. If a woman sees herself striking a flint
stone with a piece of steel, and if she can produce sparks in the dream, it means
that she will beget a son. If a spark starts a fire in the dream, it means that one’s
wife will become pregnant or perhaps it could represent a fight between the
husband and the wife, or a fight between two partners. If the sparks burn one’s
gown in the dream, it means that harm will affect that house and such harm will
bring about losses in money, family honor or bodily injury. If the sparks burn
a notebook in the dream, it means deviation from God’s path.

Whale
(Fish; Jonah; Sea life) In a dream, a whale represents an oath, the temple

dream also means strains, depression, loss of rank, or a growing anger. Seeing
the whale which swallowed God’s prophet Jonah (uwbp) in a dream means
dispelling one’s fears, prosperity for a poor person and the coming relief for
someone in distress. In a dream, a whale also represents the chief minister of
sea life, while the ocean represents the king or the ruler. (Also see Fish)

Take flight
(Flee; Run away) If one sees himself turning and running away in the
face of a battle in a dream, it means that he may contract a venereal disease,
or suffer from syphilis. Taking flight in a dream also may mean reverting to what
is proper. On the other hand, it may mean falling into sin to earn God’s wrath
and the despise of the common people. If one sees himself taking refuge in a
group of people, enticing them to fight in a dream, it means that he is
adventuring with his head by walking the path of evil, or by backbiting others.

Garden
(Flower garden) A garden in a dream means repentance, and repentance
from sin in a dream means a garden. Watering one’s garden in a dream means
having marital relations. If one sees his garden dry in a dream, it means that
his wife has commenced her menstrual period during which he is not permitted
to have sexual intercourse with her. If he sees someone else watering his garden
in a dream, it means that such a person will betray him with his wife. If one sees
himself entering an unknown garden with its trees unattended and its pasture
unkempt in a dream, it means distress and worries. A garden in a dream also
represents a woman. They both need water and they both bear fruits or children.
In this case, if the garden is interpreted to represent a woman, then its trees and
fruits represent her tribe, family and children. An unknown garden in a dream
also represents the Holy Quran. A garden in a dream also represents a
marketplace, a new bride’s house, a property, an animal domesticated for
service, a shop, a business, a tavern, a bathhouse, generosity, an army made of
slaves, cattle or personal assets. If one sees himself inside a garden in a dream,
it means comfort and growth in his life. If the house to which this garden belongs
is God’s house, then the man seeing it is in paradise. If he is sick, it means that
he will die from his illness and enter that paradise. If the garden is unknown
in the dream, it means martyrdom and particularly if he finds inside the garden
a woman calling him to herself, or to drink milk or honey from the garden’s rivers
and the same is true if the garden does not look like the ones he is accustomed
to see in the world. Otherwise, If one sees himself looking at a garden, and if he
is unmarried, it means that he will meet a suitable woman and get married. If
he is married, it means that he will receive joy from his wife equal to that which
he received from the garden in his dream. If one finds within such a garden a
group of associates or colleagues, the garden then represents a marketplace. If
one sees a servant or a worker of his urinating inside a well or a stream inside
such a garden in the dream, it means that a relative will betray the interests
of the family. A garden whose owner is known in a dream represents a mosque,
a park, people of knowledge, ignorant people, the generous ones or the stingy
ones. It also represents a meeting place where the rich and the poor, the
righteous and the insolent gather. A garden in a dream also may indicate a
religious center, a school, a center for scientific research and studies, a place of
worship, etcetera. If one enters a garden at the season of plucking its fruits in
a dream, it means glad tidings, money and increase in one’s good deeds,
marriage or children. On the other hand, if he enters a garden in the fall in a
dream, it means defamation, indebtedness, divorce, or it could mean loss of a
child. Seeing a deceased person in a garden means that he is in paradise. A
garden in a dream also represents a source of nourishment. Its fruits are colorful
and their taste ranges from sweet to salty and from sour to bitter. (Also see House
garden; Quran)

apricot out of season in a dream means illness. A fruitbearing apricot tree in a
dream represents a rich man. However, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
also represents someone who suffers from a serious illness, and is of little or no
use to others. On the other hand, it is said that an apricot tree in a dream
represents someone with a cheerful face, who is courageous in defends himself,
but who is stingy with his own family. When the apricot is still green and
unripened in the dream, it represents little money. When it ripens and becomes

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

Slippers in a dream represent property, protection, a ring, or preventing evil
happening. Wearing a pair of slippers in a dream also means a journey, or
travelling by sea, or it could mean buying a new vehicle. Tight slippers in a
dream means tightness in one’s livelihood, entanglements, or being pursued by
debt collectors. Removing one’s slippers in a dream means putting an end to
one’s strains. Wearing embroidered slippers coupled with a shawl over one’s
shoulders in a dream means increase in one’s wealth and respect. Wearing them
in the winter is more beneficial then wearing them in the summer where they
mean distress. Seeing one’s slippers on fire or if they fall into a well in a dream
may mean the death of one’s wife. In a dream, a pair of new slippers that are
elongated like a boat means tight circumstances and debts. Slippers in a dream
also represent money which is earned from a foreign country or from an import
and export business. If slippers in a dream are interpreted to mean protection,
then losing them in a dream could mean loss of one’s job. If they are interpreted
to mean religion, then losing them in a dream means relief from difficulties, or
an end to one’s trials. Wearing a pair of simple slippers in a dream means taking
a trip to a distant place, or a marriage to a young virgin. If one’s slippers are
worn-out in a dream, it means that one may marry an unwed woman or a widow.
Losing a slipper in a dream means losing half of one’s assets. Finding a pair of
lost slippers in a dream means occupying oneself with worldly business rather
than serving one’s benefits in the hereafter, or it could mean delinquency in
attending one’s religious duties. Wearing wooden slippers in a dream means

a secret one would rather conceal from others. Walking with glass slippers in
a dream means being a hypocrite and a bad companion whose friendship does
not last, and whoever befriends someone wearing glass slippers in a dream will
suffer from adversities and hardships because of him. (Also see Wooden clogs)

Moses
(God’s prophet Moses, upon whom be peace.) If one sees God’s prophet
Moses, upon whom be peace, in a dream, it means that God Almighty will
destroy a tyrant at his hands. Following that, the person seeing the dream will
rise in station, continue to attain one victory after another, and he will never
be humiliated or defeated. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also denotes the
strength of righteous people, and the inevitable defeat of iniquitous people. If
at the time of seeing a dream with God’s prophet Moses (uwbp) there exist a
tyrant or an ungodly leader, it means that God Almighty will destroy him, and
one will be saved from his evil. If someone in authority becomes Moses (uwbp)
in a dream, or if he wears one of his cloaks, it means that he will vanquish his
enemy and fulfill what his heart desires. If one sees him (uwbp) in a prison or
persecuted, or if one fears a major event that could put and end to his life, or
an accident that could kill him, or a dangerous sea trip that could drown him,
it means that God willing, he will escape and survive such adversity. Seeing
Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means the end of tyranny, or victory in a war. If
one is oppressed, worried and distressed by his own family, and if he sees Moses
(uwbp) in a similar situation in a dream, it means that God Almighty will guide
him to a way to overcome them, or if a traveller sees such a dream, it means that
he will return safely to his home. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also indicates
trials duringone’s childhood, separation from one’s family, witnessinguncommon
miracles, or that one may suffer from his own family because of an admonition,
or it could represent a will he will leave to them, or it could mean commanding
good and eschewing evil. Seeing Moses (uwbp) in a dream also means love for
travel, praiseworthy intercession, sea travels, a safe return, profits, suffering
from slander and false accusations, or perhaps it could mean that one may have
weakness in his speech, or tottering, or that he may suffer from a head ill or
injury. If someone who has renounced worldly pleasures, an ascetic, or a pious
person sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, it means increase in his wisdom, light in
his heart and elevation of his station. If a woman sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream,
she must fear loss of her child, or her dream could represent an adversity that
should have a happy ending. If a child sees Moses (uwbp) in a dream, the same
interpretation applies. If one sees himself carrying the staff of Moses (uwbp) in
a dream, it means that he will reach a high rank and win victory over his enemy.
If he is suffering from an evil spell or a sorcery, it means that it will be nullified.

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
means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore
anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God’s Prophet
(uwbp) in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed to His
warnings and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him (uwbp) walking
away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God’s Prophet (uwbp) in a
dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify
justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank
among the members of one’s family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer
from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another
country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan.
Seeing him (uwbp) in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events
( Karamat ), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him,
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,

a dream also means overcoming adversities and hardships, and receiving a
divine endowment of an exalted station in this world, and greater blessings in

sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge,
a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a

life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.
If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means
riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to
drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or
ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that
he will receive a bounteous gift from God Almighty to encompass a high rank as
well as riches. However, his status will last longer than his money. To drink water
from the sea in a dream means acquiring knowledge and adopting proper conduct.
Crossing the ocean in a dream means booty. If one sees strong waves bringing
seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler
or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream
means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream

one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in
a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of
God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried
by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies.

Underground granary
(Granary; Pantry; Storrage room; Subterranean storehouse)
An underground grain storage house in a dream represents a caring mother, a
single parent or a foster mother. This interpretation comes from the example
of a fetus in his mother’s womb and its dependence on her to supply the
necessary nourishment. Once the stored food is consumed, then it is necessary
to depend on a new source. If one sees an underground granary demolished or
filled with dirt in the dream, and if his mother is sick, it means that she may
die from her illness. If one’s wife is pregnant, it means that she will soon deliver
her infant. A demolished underground granary in a dream means finding a
buyer for one’s grains, and the dirt that fills the storehouse in the dream
represents money. If the stored grain turns into dirt in a dream,
it means that market prices will come down, or it could mean the loss of one’s investment.
Seeing a granary filled with food in a dream means that one’s wife is pregnant.
If a fire consumes the stored grain in a dream, it means rising prices. If one sees
a granary filled with sugar or dates in a dream, it means that prices will stabilize
and become attainable, while the type of food stored therein will be in limited
supplies and consequently, its price will rise. If a sick person falls into an
underground granary in a dream, it means his death, or drowning in the sea,
or facing a highway robbery. As for one who is engaged in a fight, an underground
granary in his dream represents a prison or a visit to a brothel.

Tarantula
(Hairy spider; Spider) A tarantula in a dream represents a loathsome
and an evil woman who interferes with people’s business and damages their
interests, or who destroys what they repair and denies having anything to do
with their sufferings. In a dream, this interpretation is based on the legendary
nervous disease, formerly believed to be caused by a poisonous bite of a
tarantula. Thus, when this harmless hairy spider is seen in a dream, it also could
represent a lethal enemy of a fierce sting, scowling, or a despising look. (Also

Pilgrimage
(Hajj) Performing the pilgrimage to Mecca, fulfilling its obligatory
pillars and celebrating its ceremonies in a dream represents one’s spiritual and
religious growth. It will bring him a great reward in this life and in the next,
appease his fears, and imply that he is a trustworthy person. If this dream
occurs during the pilgrimage season, it means profits for a merchant, recovery
for the sick, finding guidance after heedlessness, or it could mean that one will
perform his pilgrimage if he had not yet fulfilled this obligatory religious duty.
If one’s dream takes place outside the pilgrimage season, then it could mean the
opposite. If one sees himself as a pilgrim in a dream, and if he disdains from
actually perform his pilgrimage, though he possesses the means to do so, it
means that he is a reprobate and an ungrateful person. Performing one’s
pilgrimage in a dream also indicates the necessity to serve one’s parents and to
be true to them, or the duty to serve one’s teacher and be truthful with him.
Performing one’s pilgrimage in a dream also means visiting a gnostic, a saint,
a shaikh, a scholar, or it it could mean getting married, acquiring knowledge,
satisfying one’s needs, recuperating from an illness, repenting from sin, or
joining the company of pious people. If one travels to perform his pilgrimage
using a vehicle in a dream, it means that he will receive help from God Almighty.
If he travels on foot leading a camel in the dream, it means that he will do so
with the help of a woman. If he rides an elephant in the dream, it means that
he will perform his pilgrimage as a member of a governmental delegation. If one
travels on foot in the dream, it means that he has made a vow which he must
fulfil. Seeing oneself returning from a pilgrimage in a dream means profits and
relief from stress. If one carries his provisions with him in the dream, it means
that he stands before his Lord with piety and reverence. Carrying the pilgrims’s
provisions in a dream also means paying poor people their dues, or it could mean
paying one’s debts. If one sees himself going to perform his pilgrimage alone, and
the people standing up to pay their farewell to him in a dream, it means that
he will die shortly. (Also see Arafat; Circumambulation; Cradle of Ismail;

Fireplace
(Hearth; Stove) An iron cast stove or a fireplace in a dream represents
a woman who comes from a powerful and a strong family. If the stove or the
fireplace is made from yellow copper or brass in the dream, then such a woman
may have come from a house of a worldly and rich people. A wooden fireplace
in a dream represents hypocrisy in such a family. If the fireplace is made of
plaster in the dream, it means that such a family has associated itself with
Pharaonic traditions or worship. If the fireplace is made of argillite or form sun-
dried bricks in the dream, it means that someone in that family is a godly and
a pious person. A fireplace in a dream also represents a state, a government,
joblessness or fleeing from one’s enemy. If the fireplace or the stove is lit with
no food to cook or water to boil over it in the dream, it means that the head of
the household, the butler or the house keeper will become angry and infuriated
by someone’s slander or backbiting. If the cooking pot in the dream is interpreted
to represent the wife, then the fireplace would represent her husband who faces
the adversities and hardships of life. On the other hand, if the fireplace in the
dream is interpreted to represent the wife, then the cooking pot would be her
husband who is always sitting on fire. If the fireplace or the stove is not lit in
the dream, then it represents distress, worries and trouble, but if it is on, then
it means fulfilling one’s needs and earning one’s livelihood through hard work.
A fireplace in a dream also represents one’s wife, his tools and instruments, his
vehicle, or it could represent a place of gathering, one’s rank, a chair, light, a
woman in childbed, a father, a mother, a pregnant woman, one’s shop or a
helper. A fireplace in a dream also could represent the month of January or the
cold season. If a bachelor sees a fireplace in a dream, it means that he will get
married, and if he is married, it means that his wife will become pregnant. If
he is a sinner, it means that he will repent for his sins, for a fireplace is the abode
of fire and fire in a dream represents fear, horror and guidance. A fireplace in

Hail
(Icy rain) In a dream, hail means calamity, sufferings, hunger, loss of
property, poverty, mass persecution, or torture. In nature, this element cools the
earth and eliminates many harmful insects, worms or scorpions and limits the
danger of snakes. Thus, seeing hail in its proper season in a dream means
eliminating the source of one’s stress and overcoming one’s difficulties, enemies,
or jealous competitors. Seeing hail in the summertime in a dream means
business losses, but if it falls in the winter in a dream, it means success and
prosperity. Heavy falling hail in a dream means destruction of businesses,
interruption of communication and damage to roads and highways. In that
sense, hail in a dream means obstruction of public interests. In a dream, hail
also represents a strange type of business that will come from the direction of
the wind carrying such a storm. If no harm occurs in one’s dream, then hail
represents glad tidings and especially if people start collecting it in bowls. If hail
falls over a farmland without damaging it in a dream, it means a good harvest.
If one gathers hail in his garment, or inside a cloth in a dream, it means that
he will lose his riches, or it could mean the loss of an awaited shipment. (Also

also signifies the expansion of his power and the infallibility and effectiveness
of his commands. One’s tongue in a dream also symbolizes a milk sucklingbaby,
a lion in his den, or an intelligent warrior. Thus, if one lets a lion out of a lair
in a dream, it denotes his tongue, or hurting people’s feeling or reputation with
one’s tongue. If one sees himself without a tongue in a dream, it may mean the
death of an infant. If one has to appear in court and sees his tongue cut off in

Flood
(Inundation; Torrent) Flood in a dream represents enemy attack, harm,
destruction, sickness, a toiling journey or the inundation of a town. If the water
flows toward a river in a dream, it means that he will escape from a dangerous
enemy. Fighting a flood or trying to prevent it from entering one’s house in a
dream means fighting with one’s enemy to protect one’s family and property.
However, if people still benefit from its waters for their wells or farms in the

(Sauna; Steam room; Sweat room; Rest room) Washing one’s dirt with
hot water in a dream brings benefits. If one builds a bathhouse in his dream,
it means committing a sin or searching for a woman to partake in it, then
suffering its consequence. If the bathhouse is heated and the water is lukewarm
in the dream, it represents his family’s compassion toward him, trying to help
him out of his breach. If the bathhouse is cold and if its water is cold in the dream,
it means that his family has ostracized or banished him. If one witness the hot
water pipes breaking, whereby he could not control the flow of water in the
dream, it means that someone will betray him with his wife, though he will keep
trying to control the situation, but to no avail. A water leak from the boiler that

Fish
(Sea Life; Human being) In a dream, if their number is known, fish represent
women, but if their number is not known, then they represent money from a
doubtful source. If one sees a fish colony gathering at seabed, where he is fishing,
bringing them up and eating them raw as he pleases, or if he places them into
baskets and divides them into lots in the dream, it means that he will prosper
and invest his wealth in different ventures and savings plans. A whale in a
dream represents the minister of sea life, while the sea itself represents the king
or the country. A whale in a pond with his jaws opened in a dream represents
a prison. A large fish colony in a dream represents despised earnings, or earning
a large amount money one is accountable for its expenditure. Fishing in a well
means homosexuality, or it could represent someone who tries to tempt his
servant or his assistant to indulge in a loathsome act. If one sees himself fishing
in murky waters in a dream, it conveys evil, sorrows, or distress however it may
happen. If one sees himself fishing in clear waters in a dream, it means money
or hearing nice words or conceiving a son, while fishing in salty waters in a
dream means difficulties. If one sees himself fishing with a fishhook in a dream,
it means excitement, pleasure or losing benefits. A soft skin fish in a dream
means benefits for someone intending to trick or to swindle people’s money.
Mostly fishing with a pole and a fishhook in a dream means difficulties or slow
coming benefits, or a slow and loose business. Any large cyprinoid freshwater
fish or a barbel fish (cyprinus bynni; barbus ) in a dream denote positive benefits
for someone intending marriage or to enter into a business partnership. Seeing
a herring or any of its clupeid type fish in a dream represent evil work or toiling
for something one will never get. A fish in the pond in a dream is also a sign of
benefits, though may be little benefits. Seeing dead fish floating in the water in
a dream has an ominous connotation, or they could represent a hopeless case.
Taking fish from the water and eating them alivemeans profits, or an appointment
to a high raking position in wakefulness. In a dream, if a sick man or a traveller
finds fish in his bed it also connotes bad or a painful sickness or suffering from
arthritis, or he may drown because he would be sleeping with them. Seeing sea
fish covered with salt in a dream means lasting richness, because fish are
preserved in salt, or it could mean burdens. If one’s wife is pregnant and he sees
a fish coming out of his male organ in a dream, it means that his wife will beget
a son. If a fish comes out of his mouth, then it means speaking ill of a woman.
A fried fish in a dream means that one’s prayers will be answered. A broiled fish
in a dream means travels or seeking knowledge. A large fish in a dream means
money, while a small fish means difficulties, burdens and stress, because it
carries more spikes than meat, beside, small fish are more difficult to eat. Mixed
sized of different kinds offish in a dream represent money, trouble, liking social
events or mixing with all types of people, the good and the bad ones. Buying a
fish in a dream may mean marriage. Eating a rotten fish in a dream means
pursuing adultery and avoiding a lawful marriage. If one sees himself attempting
painstakingly to catch a whale in a small pond in a dream, it means money that
he will fight for, though he cannot get hold of it without having to cross major
obstacles. If one finds a pearl or two in the belly of a fish in a dream, it means
that he will marry a rich woman and conceives one or two sons with her. If he
finds a ring in the belly of the fish in a dream, it means that he will gain authority
and might. Finding fat in the belly of a fish in a dream means acquiring money
from a woman. Seeing oneself fishing on a dry land means committing adultery,
a sin, or it could mean hearing good news. Catching a fish with excessive bones
and scales denotes the necessity to pay one’s dues or to distribute alms tax on
one’s liquid assets, because one cannot enjoy his catch unless he first cleanse
it. Seeing sea fish swimming toward sweet waters, or river fish swimming
toward the sea in a dream means hypocrisy, falsehood or the rise of an innovator
or an impostor. If one sees fish swimming on the water surface in a dream, it
means ease in attaining his goals, exposing secrets, unveiling hidden past,
reviewing old books or redistributing an old inheritance. If one sees fish that
have the look ofhuman beings in a dream, it means business, trading or meeting
with an interpreter, or a translator, or associating with people of good character.
If such fish with a human face look beautiful, then one’s companions are good.
Otherwise, if the fish look ugly in the dream, then it means that he has
associated himself with evil companions. If one sees an aquarium in his house
filled with all types of catfish, or angelfish or similar fish that live in a home
aquarium in a dream, it means being charitable or taking care of orphans or
adopting children. If one sees himself reaching with his hand to the bottom of
the seabed to catch fish in a dream, it means that he will acquire extensive
knowledge in his profession and prosper from his trade. Otherwise, it could
mean that one will become a spy. If the sea opens and unveils its treasures, and
if one catches a goldfish from its belly in the dream, it means that God Almighty
will reveal new spiritual knowledge to him in order to help him understand his
religion and to receive guidance. If the goldfish leaves his hand and returns to
the sea in the dream, it means that he will join the company of righteous people
and saints from whom he will learn about the inner spiritual knowledge, or that
he will find a good companion for a journey he intends. If one eats a fish without
cleaning or cooking it in a dream, it means that he will speak ill of his own
friends, slander his associates, commit adultery, acquire money from trickery
and falsehood, or become inflicted with a dangerous disease or suffer from a
stroke. If one sees fish on the shore rather than in the water in a dream, it means
that he may change his profession. The different types of fish in a dream
represent human beings and their professions. A fish in a dream also could mean
that death will take place where it is found, because of the departure of its soul,
its stench, weight and one’s responsibility to bury the deceased. Eating a fish
in a dream also means receiving easy, lawful and enjoyable earnings. (Also see

Chair
(Seat) In a dream, a chair represents authority, rank or a woman. An iron
cast chair in a dream represents power and superiority. If it is a wooden chair,
then it means less than that beside added hypocrisy. Sitting on a chair in a
dream means becoming a guardian, deputy, attorney or proxy. If one qualifies
for governing or for managing a business, then sitting on a chair in a dream
means receiving such an appointment. If a traveller sees himself sitting on a
chair in a dream, it means that he will return to his homeland to be reunited
with his family and to attain his goals. For people in authority, a chair in their
dream represents an appointment, a promotion, fame, marriage, children or
buying an expensive property, a new vehicle or a new garment. If one finds a
chair and sits on it in a dream, it means that he will gain power or be married
to a woman whose prestige and sophistication correspond to those of the chair.
If one’s wife is pregnant, then seeing oneself sitting on a chair in a dream means
that she will beget a son. If one sees himself sitting on a chair and wearing a
stately garment in a dream, it means that he will occupy the seat of knowledge,
honor, reverence and that he will receive immediate benefits. If one’s chair
breaks in a dream, it may mean his death or that of his wife, or it could mean
their separation, or losing one’s authority at home or at work. A chair in a dream
also signifies happiness and promotion for the one who sits on it, or it could mean
spiritual success or winning God’s forgiveness in the hereafter and entering the
heavenly paradise. If a pregnant woman sees herself sitting on a chair in a
dream, the chair then represents her labor and her delivery day. If she is
wearing a crown in the dream, then it means that she will beget a son. Seeing
the Divine Throne ( Kursi ) of God Almighty in its most perfect condition which
is situated in the highest heaven and as it is without attribution of human

wisdom and rising in station. A chair in a dream also signifies delivering a babe,
travels, a vehicle, buying a house or initiating a good practice that people will

Mangy
(Skin disease of domestic animals; A bacterial disease) In a dream, mangy
represents pestilence or a plague. If one sees himself struck by such a disease
causing him to itch though no puss or malignant festering runs from his sores
in the dream, it means that his troubles and adversities are caused by his own
progeny or relatives. If one’s body is afflicted with mangy in a dream, it means
that his troubles will come from his friends or from his working environment.
If it strikes at his right hand or his cheek in a dream, then his adversities will
come from his clan. If it strikes at his left hand, then his troubles will come from
his business partner or brother. If his illness forms puss in the dream, it means
hard earned money that will also cause headache. Such a disease means money
for a poor person and it could mean leadership for a rich person. Following this
trail of thinking, mangy or any skin disease in a dream signify less harm
compared to other diseases. If an employees experiences such skin disorder in
a dream, it means that he does not qualify to work in that company. If it is one’s
son in the dream, it means that he will disobey his father concerning an
undesired friendship. If it is one’s wife in the dream, it means that she is engaged
in something awful that will bring shame to the entire family.

Rocks
(Stone) Mountain rocks in a dream represent strong believers who hold
fast to their religious duties. If one sees himself trying to lift a heavy rock,
testing his strength in a dream, it means that he will face a strong opponent.
If he succeeds at lifting it in the dream, it means that he will win his battle.
Otherwise, it could mean that he will lose it. If one sees stones hitting him, or
falling over his head in a dream, it means that his superior will delegate heavy
responsibilities to him, compel him to do a personal favor, depend on him or
impose a service on him. In this case, it means that one’s advice will have effect
and his opinion will be respected. Throwing stones in every direction from a high
altitude in a dream means being unjust toward others, or it could mean being
in a position of strength. If one sees women throwing stones at him using a
slingshot in a dream, it means sorcery and a bad spell. If a poor person sees
himself hitting a rock with a staff to split it, and suddenly water gushes forth
from it in the dream, it means that he will become rich. A rock in a dream also
represents hard working women who are patient and bearing their sufferings
with determination. A rock in a dream also means longevity, construction,
forgetfulness, cattle, impudence, shamelessness, fornication, a dissolute life,
immorality, or heartlessness. Seeing a town scattered with rocks in a dream also
could mean lower prices. If a rock is interpreted as a rank, then it means a
lasting one. If it denotes one’s wife, then it means that she is patient and content.
A rock in a dream also represents a threshold, a house, or a statue. Seeing a
mountain of rocks in a dream represents heartless, brutal and cruel men, or it
could denote their dwellings. If one sees himself drilling a hole into a rock in a
dream, it means that he is searching for something hard to get, though he will
be able to reach as far as he reaches through drilling in his dream. Descending
upon a rock in a dream is interpreted the same as descending upon a mountain

of the Arabian peninsula. Seeing the sacred Black Stone in a dream is perhaps
an indication of going to perform one’s pilgrimage. If one sees himself cutting
into the Black Stone in a dream, it means that he wants people to follow his
personal opinions. If he sees the pilgrims searching for the Black Stone but
cannot find it in a dream, it means that he thinks of himself to be right and the
rest of the people to be wrong. It also could mean that he possesses a knowledge
which he hides from others. If he touches the Black Stone in his dream, it means
that he follows the teachings of an Imam from among the Hijazite Arabs. If he
sees the Black Stone being a castle for himself in a dream, it means that he
follows religious innovations. If he swallows the Black Stone in his dream, it
means that he is a affected person who will mislead people. (Also see Kaaba;
Corner Stone)

and capture him. If one sees himself raising a wolfs cub in a dream, it means
that he will raise an abandoned child of a thief who upon growing up will bring

may undertake a distant trip. If one wears a headgear in his dream, it means
that he may hold a seat in the government. If one is accustomed to wearing a
headgear then wearing it in a dream represents his superior, the governor, his
brother, his father, his uncle, his teacher, or a scholar, for they all have equal
right upon him. Wearing a dirty and a worn out headgear in a dream means
sorrow, difficulties and distress. If one’s headgear is stripped off his head, or if
it falls to the ground in a dream, it means the death of his superior, or any of
the abovementioned people. If a king offer someone a headgear or a tiara in a
dream, it means that he will have the power to appoint people in different
administrations. If a mishap befall one’s headgear or the turban of an Imam in
a dream, it will reflect upon his faith and the state of his congregation. Wearing
ablack turban in a dream means authority, or it could mean sitting in the judges’
bench. Wearing a headgear which is topped with a white feather in a dream
means becoming a leader. Wearing a headgear that is made from animal fur or

a cow or a steer in a dream, it means that a great punishment will befall him,

good citizens. Sheep in a dream also signify joy, happiness, festivities, a wife,
children, a farmland, properties, prosperity or wealth, and particularly when
one pays the due alms tax on his money making ventures and liquid assets.
Owning a herd of sheep in a dream represents a growing wealth. Passing by a
herd of sheep in a dream means passing a gathering of men who have no brain.
If a herd of sheep faces someone in a dream, they represent a group of people
who will welcome him with a fight which one will eventually win. Receiving a
herd of sheep as a gift in a dream means a political appointment, knighthood,
knowledge, the seat of justice, or a blessing in one’s life. Shearing off the wool

Both the white sheep and the black sheep in a dream mean profit, though the
benefits one draws from a white sheep are greater. Seeing a herd of sheep in a

it means that she will deliver a boy. Otherwise, the remaining little domesti¬
cated animals represent headache, because of the responsibility involved in
caring for and in upbringing the boys, except for the girls, for they represent
worldly success and profits. If one sees himself slaughtering a sheep in a dream,
it means that one of his boys will shortly die, or perhaps it could be the son of
someone he knows. A sheep trader in a dream represents a good man who is

means that he holds fast to his prayers, fasting, controls his carnal self and base
desires. Engaging in a battle with Jinn in a dream means that one will be safe
from their evil. To befriend a known leader from amongst the Jinn in a dream
means becoming a police officer and make it one’s profession to pursue criminals
and bandits. It also could mean that one might become a guided man of
knowledge or a teacher. Seeing Jinn gathering in a known locality in a dream
also may indicate the presence of snakes, scorpions, or what human beings may

Allah
God Almighty, Lord, Creator and Cherisher of the universes. There is
nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearing, the Al-Seeing Lord. Seeing
Him in a dream can be interpreted according to one’s state of being. If one sees
Him in His glory and majesty, without descriptive designation, without ascrip¬
tion of human characteristics to Him and without depiction or portrayal in the
dream, it is an indication of glad tidings for both this world and the hereafter.These blessings also may continue to affect the lives of one’s progeny. If one sees
Him otherwise in a dream, it means confusion, and particularly if the Almighty
Lord does not address him. If an ailing person sees Him in a dream, it means
that he will soon die and come to meet Him. If a straying soul sees God Almighty
in a dream, it will find guidance. If an oppressed person sees Him, it means that
justice will prevail and he will triumph over his oppressors. Hearing God’s words
without designation represents the imagination of the person in the dream.
Perhaps hearing His words in a dream appeases one’s heart and increases the
person’s drive for success. Hearing God’s words without seeing Him represents
the rising of one’s station. If one receives revelations from behind a veil in a
dream, it means mental confusion and innovation. This is most true if a
messenger comes in one’s dream and describes the one who spoke as God. In this
case, the dream is a nightmare, because God Almighty cannot be depicted
according to human descriptions. If one sees a picture of God in his dream, it
means that he is a liar who ascribes images to God Almighty that do not befit
His Majesty and Glory. If one hears God Almighty talking to him directly and
if he can focus at Him in the dream, it means that he will be encompassed with
God’s mercy and blessings. If one sees God Almighty in a dream, it means that
he will look at His Divine countenance in the hereafter. Seeing God Almighty
seated on the Divine Throne in a dream means elevation of one’s rank,
knowledge and increase in his wealth. If one sees himself running away to hide
from God Almighty in a dream, it means that he will change the course of his
devotion into heedlessness. Seeing a veil separating between the servant and
his Lord in a dream means that one will commit major sins and abominable
actions. If one sees his Lord frowning at him, whereby he could not bear the
effulgence of God’s light, or if he is seized by a shock and immediately commences
to repent and pray for forgiveness in the dream, it means that such a person is
indulging in abominable actions, and that he is a despicable sinner who follows
his own mind and desires, and that he is an innovator of religious thoughts who
misleads the people. If one hears God Almighty talking to him in a dream, it
represents an admonition and a warning to abstain from sin. If one hears God
Almighty talking to him in a dream, it also means that one is more assiduous
in his recital of the Quran. If one hears God Almighty talking to him with words
he cannot understand, then if He anoints him and blesses him in the dream, it
means that God Almighty will bring him nigh unto Himself and exalt his station.
If one sees God Almighty in a form resembling one’s father, a brother or a
relative and showing His kindness or blessing him in a dream, it means that he
will be afflicted with a calamity and a major illness. If a righteous person sees
himself standing before God Almighty in reverence and filled with awe in a
dream, it means that mercy will encompass him and help him to further his
growth. The same interpretation applies if one sees himself prostrating before
Him. If God Almighty speaks to someone from behind a veil in a dream, it can
also represent a good worshipper, but if the Divine address takes place without
a veil in the dream, it means falling into sin. If God Almighty names someone
in his dream with his birth name, then adds another title to it, it means rising
in station and rank. If one sees God Almighty angry with him in a dream, it
means that his parents are displeased with him. This description includes
seeing oneself falling from the skies or from the top of a mountain. If a devoted
servant sees God Almighty kissing him in a dream, it applies to his growing
devotion and reward. Fearing God Almighty in a dream reflects eminence,
peacefulness, quiescence, wealth of being and disregard for material needs.

Harvest
Harvesting one’s farm in a dream means ease after difficulty, or seeing
a fast return on one’s investment. It also could represent destruction, or it could
mean receiving admonition. The portion harvested in a dream will equal the size
of destruction that will befall the area. If one sees people harvesting a field in
the middle of the marketplace or a road in a dream, it means that a calamity
will befall them because of their sins. On the other hand, it also means profiting
from one’s business. If worshippers are seen harvesting inside a mosque with
no outside help in a dream, it means reaping the reward of their devotion and
sincerity. Throwing the harvest back into the fields means that one’s deeds are
worthless. To see oneself harvesting outside the season in a dream means
devastation, war, or death. Harvesting a green crop in the dream connotes the
death of a young person. If the color of the harvest is white in the dream, it means
death of an elderly person. If one sees the crop being harvested before its time,
or much later than its due time in the dream, it means death or a war. (Also see

Doorman

oneself as the king’s doorman in a dream means debts, but if one finds himself
working as the prince’s doorman or door attendant, it means occupying a seat

Dream interpreter
In a dream, a dream interpreter represents happiness for a sad
person and sorrow for a happy person. If one who desires to maintain secrecy
around his life and goals sees a dream interpreter in his dream, it means that
he will find an intimate friend or a confidant to complete his intention. If one
is expecting news from an associate or if someone in a different land sees a dream
interpreter in his dream, it means that he will receive the desired news. A dream
interpreter in a dream also represents knowledge of sings, deciphering mes¬
sages, analyzing substances, a tracer, a religious scholar, a lawyer, a good
advisor, a compassionate friend, a judge or a physician. A dream interpreter in
a dream also represents someone who does not keep a secret or someone who
brings people both happy or sad news. In a dream, he is also a preacher, an
advisor, one who balances things, a money changer, a garment cleaner, an
undertaker, a barber, a comedian, a news broadcaster or someone who searches
for people’s faults. Seeing oneself as a dream interpreter in a dream, and if one
qualifies to sit on the bench, it means that he will become a judge. If he is seeking
knowledge, he will acquire it. If he is seeking to become a physician, he will
become one. Otherwise, he might become a money changer, a banker or any of
the earlier mentioned trades. Telling a dream interpreted a dream in one’s
dream, and if the explanation agrees with the common wisdom and religious
norms of the Holy Quran and the traditions of God’s Prophet, upon whom be
peace, then whatever one is told in his dream is true. If one does not understand
the explanation of the dream interpreter in his dream, then he might need to
find a qualified interpreter in wakefulness to satisfy his needs. (Also see As¬
trologer; Divination; Fortuneteller; Founder; Interpretation; Seer)

If one does repair a broken lance in a dream, it means recovering from an illness.
A lance without a spearhead in a dream means the death of one’s brother or
child. A lance in a dream also represents a brother or a friend who will part with
his brother or friend, or it could mean loss of one’s job. Walking with a lance in
one’s hand in the middle of a marketplace in a dream means walking or strolling
with one’s son. As for a pregnant woman, a metal lance means that she will
deliver a girl, and that she will receive a gift of money or a present after her birth
from other daughters. Cariying a lance with a flag raised on top of it in a dream
means attaining a position that will earn fame. If one is challenged by someone
holding a lance against him in a dream, it means that someone will hurt him
with his words, or slander his family. Owning an extra lance in a dream means
having a brother or a friend who will stand for one’s defence when needed. A long
spear means injustice, or it could mean good health. If one bleeds from a wound
caused by a lance in a dream, it means that he will be compensated for pain and
suffering, or that he will return home from a longjourney. Multiple wounds from
a lance in a dream mean financial compensation, though the source of money
is loathsome. Fighting one’s enemies with a lance means earning dirty money.
A person holding a lance in a dream also represents a teacher, an educator, or
someone who helps his brothers and friends. (Also see Javelin)

Ring
In a dream, a ring represents peace, tranquility, authority, a wife, a child,

ring in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a son. The king’s ring in a
dream represents his kingdom. Cutting off a tight ring with a pair of pliers in

mean the death of his child, or the loss of his business. A broken ring in a dream

receive benefits though with great strain on him. Wearing a golden ring carry ing
a precious stone in a dream means that such benefits will come with ease. If it

and getting nothing out of it. Rings made of ivory or from an animal’s horn in
a dream represent glad tidings for a woman. Seeing someone in authority
stamping a document with his ring as a seal in a dream means that one will
receive an important political appointment. If one who is accustomed to wearing
a silver ring sees himself offering it as a gift to whoever he wishes in a dream,
it means that he will preside over an honorable post. Wearing the governor’s
ring in a dream means an appointment as a dignitary, or inheriting such a rank
from one’s father. If one’s father does not hold such a position, then it means the
opposite of one’s wishes. Finding a lost ring in a dream means earning money
from a foreign land, or having a new born son, or it could mean a marriage to
a righteous woman. If the stone of one’s ring seems unstable in the dream, it
means that one will be fired form his job. Removing one’s ring in a dream means
that one maybe removed from his job. If a woman sees herself removing her
wedding ring in a dream, it means the death of either her husband or of a close
relative. A ring in a dream also connotes a band, an encumbrance, or a shackle.
If one’s ring disappears and only the stone remains in the dream, it means that
once the responsibilities are gone, good memories of the person will remain. A
man wearing a golden ring in a dream represents innovation, and the results
will bring about afflictions, betrayal, or a revolt. Wearing a tight ring in the
dream means that one will be let off from a vicious woman, or that he will be
spared from a wicked duty. A borrowed wedding ring in a dream represents an
ownership that will not last. If one buys an engraved ring in a dream, it means
that he will own something he never owned before, such as a house, a vehicle,
or perhaps he may get married, or bear a child. If one sees rings being sold in
the open market in a dream, it means that the estates of the high society are
for sale or it could represent foreclosure. If one sees the skies raining rings in
a dream, it means that he will conceive a child during that year. If he is unwed,
it means that he will marry a rich and a virgin young woman during that same
year. If they are gold rings in the dream, it means that such a woman has lost

dream means an end to one’s poverty. If a pious person, a religious person or an
ascetic receives a silver ring from God Almighty in a dream, it means his
salvation on the Day of Judgment. If he receives a silver ring from God’s
Messenger (uwbp) in a dream, it represents a gift of a greater knowledge. If it
is gold, iron, or copper, then it has negative consequences, because iron rings
represent the chains of the dwellers of hell-fire. Somehow, to wear a simple band
in one’s dream is better than wearing a heavy ring. Heavy rings in a dream also
may connote an assassination or deceit. On the other hand, large rings in a
dream also can be interpreted to mean something great, or something which
entails sizable benefits. Lead rings in a dream mean weak authority. If one
sends his ring to some people who returns it to him in the dream, it means that
he is asking to betroth someone from such a family, but his request will be
declined. If one sees his ring being forcefully pulled out from his finger in a
dream, it means that he will lose his rank or whatever the ring represents to

Turtle
In a dream, a turtle represents a woman who likes to adorn herself and to
make herself noticeable to please men. A turtle in a dream is also interpreted
as a man of knowledge, or a chiefjustice, because she is most knowledgeable and
God fearing amongst the sea creatures. In a dream, a turtle therefor could

upon whom be peace, or any of the holy scriptures. Seeing a pet turtle in a house
or a town in a dream means that the people of knowledge in that locality are well
respected. Seeing a turtle living in a dump, then it represents a knowledgeable
person living in the midst of ignorant people who care little about learning
anythingfrom him. Eating a turtle in a dream means profits, benefits, or money.
If one sees a turtle inside his house, or if he owns one in a dream, it means that

feet through puddles of blood in a dream, it means that he will finance his

it means that an iniquitous person in authority will lie to him and take
advantage of him. If his shirt is stained with the blood of a ram in a dream, it
means that a rich, noble and a well respected person will lie to him, and at the
end he will consent to accepting corrupt money. Seeing blood flowing from one’s

In a dream, feet represent man’s uprightness, for with them one stands

with him, acquire his intercession, reap success from his connection, fulfill his
needs, receive benefits in his travels, or if he qualifies, he may preside over a
group of poor people or guide seamen to their catch. If he is a poor person, it
means that his benefits to others are greater than if he were a rich person. If
a rich man sees himself eating the foot of another person in a dream, it means
illness, weakness or blindness. As for evildoers, eating someone’s foot in a dream
means imprisonment, sorrow and blame. If one sees one ofhis feet turning into
a stone, it means that he will be deprived of its use. If one steps over a king or
a ruler in a dream, it means that he will step over a coin of money that carries
the figure of such a ruler. If one’s foot is amputated in a dream, it means that
he will loose half ofhis wealth. If both his feet are amputated in the dream, it

in a dream also represent his parents or the leaders of the land. If one’s foot is
fractured in a dream, it means that he should not near the people of authorities
for some days or he better leave town for sometime and pray for his safety. If
a sick person sees his foot broken in a dream, it may mean his death. If one sees
one ofhis feet longer than the other in a dream, it means that he will travel and
profit from his journey, or receive the needed help during his journey. If he is
rich, it means that he will become sick. If a poor person sees himself having four
legs in a dream, it means that he will travel and receive help to accomplish his
goals. A rich person in that case may get sick, or it could mean longevity.
Walking on three feet in a dream means either that one will grow to be old, or
that through an ailment, he will not die until he uses a cane to help him walk.
If a ruler or a judge sees himself having many legs in a dream, it means that
he has many helpers. If one’s feet turn into iron in a dream, it means longevity

turn silver in the dream, it means that he is a philanderer and he will live in
poverty, for lust for women and wealth cannot exist together. If one’s feet turn
into led in the dream, it means that he may suffer from paralysis, unless if the
dream contains other elements that denote actions which are pleasing to God
Almighty. If one sees his foot without a covering skin in the dream, it means

Hair
In a dream, hair represents money and longevity. If a rich person ties a
strand of hair to a bun of his own in a dream, it means increase of his wealth
and growth of his business based on a business loan or a mortgage. If a poor
person sees that in a dream, it means that he will borrow money to pay for his
debts and still borrow more money to pay for his daily expenses. If one sees his
straight hair frizzed or curled in a dream, it means that he will be honored, and
if he sees his frizzed hair straight in a dream, it means that he will suffer from
humiliation or lose his rank. If one with a straight and lanky hair sees it longer
than usual in a dream, it means that money belonging to someone for whom he
works will be distributed, wasted, or lost. If one’s hair is soft and lanky but still
looks longer than usual in a dream, it means that his manager’s authority will
expand, and his interests will diversify. If a strong man or a warrior sees himself
having a bun of hair in a dream, it means protection and respect inspired by a
strong personality. Otherwise, if he is rich in the dream, a bun here means more
wealth, and if he is a poor, it represents his debts. If one’s hair looks curly in
a dream, it means that power, honor and praises will be the lot of his superior.
If a woman sees her hair straight in a dream, it denotes benefits and particularly
if she uses a hair pieces or a wig as part of her makeup. Women receive benefits
from braiding their hair in a dream and it means saving money or investing it.
Otherwise, if a poor person, or a blind person braids his or her hair in a dream,
then it means complications and difficulties, and particularly when they are
accustomed to doing so. If a sick woman sees herself braiding her hair in a
dream, it means that she will die from her illness. If one sees his hair long to
the extent that he could braid it together with his beard in a dream, it means
debts. Shaving one’s moustache, or under one’s armpit in a dream means paying
one’s debts, dispelling distress, or following good hygienes. Braiding one’s hair
in a dream also means mastering one’s craft. Shaving one’s head during the

hair, or removing unwanted hair during makeup in a dream means dispelling
stress, or being coerced to pay one’s debts. If a thief or a fugitive sees himself

a woman sees herself wearing a veil, or putting on a head piece in a dream, it

a journey from which he may never return. If she sees people looking at her hair
in a dream, it means that she will suffer slander and defamation. If a man sees
himself with horns formed from his own hair in a dream, it means might and
adroitness. If one sees the hair in the back of his head disheveled or rumpled
in a dream, it means that he will suffer humiliation. If he sees his hair on the
right side of his head tousled in a dream, it means that he will molest male
children from among his relatives. If he sees his hair on the left side of his head
tousled, or disheveled in a dream, it means that he will molest female children
from among his relatives. If one does not have relatives, it means that he will
suffer harm from his evil actions. If one sees long hair under his armpit in a
dream, it means he will attain his goal, or it could denote his generous character.
If he sees it thick in a dream, it denotes his thirst for knowledge, search for a
business, or profiting through patience and endurance. If one sees his hair
infested with lice in a dream, it means that he has a large family. If one sees
his hair longer or thicker, and if he wishes in the dream to have that in
wakefulness, it means that he will attain his goals, pay his debts, or prosper.
If the length or thickness of one’s hair is uncommon, and if one feels no offense
to walk with it in the streets in his dream, it means debts, distress and inability
to take care of one’s family. Long hair in a dream also means naughtiness and
adversities. Thick and long hair in a dream also can be interpreted as having
many children, or it could represent fear of wrongdoing, or thinking about an
important person, or it could represent common daily concerns. Having less hair
in a dream means diminishing difficulties. If one sees someone pulling out his

face in the dream, it means trouble. Discovering a bad odor emanating from
one’s hair in the dream means hearing praises. Delousing one’s hair in a dream
means discovering some of one’s own faults. If some lice fall during the combing
of one’s hair in a dream, it means that he will spend a portion of his inheritance
in charity, or that he will clean his act, or correct his attitude. If one sees his
hair growing anew in a dream, it means that he may lose most of his wealth. If
one sees hair growing on his face where hair does not usually grow in a dream,
it means debts. If one sees hair growing in the palm of his hand in a dream, it
means benefits from a business. A hairy chest, or hair growing over one’s tongue
in a dream means wisdom, clarity, or diligence, except if it grows beyond control,
then it becomes adversities, stress, sorrows, debts and so forth. If one sees the
hair on his forearm scattering, or falling in a dream, it means that he may lose
all his savings. Braiding the hair of one’s legs in a dream means earning money
through improper methods, or engaging in something which contradicts the
divine laws. Woman’s hair in a dream represents her protection, husband or
family. Hair in a dream also denotes farming, money, a wife, a husband or
marriage. If one’s hair looks ugly and smelly in a dream, it represents the living
condition or the state of the husband and wife. Nicely combing one’s hair in a
dream means loyalty and fulfilling a promise. As for a person who lacks loyalty,
shaving his hair or cutting it short in a dream means squandering money,
though in general shortening one’s hair means knowledge and guidance.
Combing the hair of one’s wife in a dream means divorce. Good looking hair in
a dream represents a person of good character. Hair in a dream also means
feeling apprehensive about something. If one’s hair turns into an animal’s hair
in a dream, it means toiling and difficulties. If a poor person sees that dream,
it means that his basic needs will be adequately satisfied. The eyebrows,
eyelashes, hairy arms, hairy legs and a hairy chest in a dream also represent
man’s virility, beauty, protection, or lasting wealth. Hair in one’s ears in a dream
means knowledge, or admonition. Seeing hair in one’s noses in a dream

Plum
In a dream, plums in season represent health and welfare. Otherwise, out
of season, plums represent distress and difficulties. However, everybody draws
benefits from seeing a plum tree in a dream. If one sees himself eating a sweet
and ripened plum in a dream, it means that he will satisfy his pleasures,
passions, and wantonness. If it tastes sour in the dream, then it represents his
fear. A plum tree in a dream also represents a rich person, or a spendthrift who

Stomach
In a dream, the stomach represents the elements of property, family,
secrets, one’s mate, prison, grave, health, sickness, friend, wayfarer, one’s
religious life and nature of one’s devotion. If in a dream one sees his stomach
open, it means that his business may be temporarily put out of commission, or
that he may lose any benefits he used to derive from it up to then. The other
aforementioned elements also may apply. If the person in question is a pregnant
woman, and if she sees her baby or any part of it comes out of her open stomach,
this may mean that a jailed person in her family will be set free, or that the
family graves will be desecrated, or that the body of someone in her family will
be exhumed, thus uncovering its diseases and infestations, or it could mean that
one’s personal life will become public knowledge. If one is actually complaining
of such an illness, his dream means that he will find a cure for it. If one sees that
he has no stomach in a dream, it means that he may lose a friend, or that his
guardian may die shortly, or that he may become a religious, ascetic and devoted
worshiper. If one sees fire coming out of his stomach in a dream, it means that
he will repent for stealing the properties of orphans. If one sees himself crawling
on his stomach in a dream, it shows him being needy and striving to barely feed
himself, or it may denote his materialistic character. The stomach in a dream
also represents the plains of a valley. It also can be interpreted as one’s tribal

people on God’s path. Walking by a funeral procession in a dream is interpreted
to represents a hypocrite who destroys or kills an evil person. If one sees himself

support. Involuntarily following a funeral procession in a dream means serving
a non-religious person in authority. Sitting on top of a coffin in a dream means

dream, it means that people will appoint him to a leadership position. If one sees
a group of people performing a funeral prayers and crying over the loss of the
deceased in a dream, it means that the conclusion of his life will be commendable.
Otherwise, if they express no sorrow for his loss or cry over him, but instead
criticize him in the dream, it means that the conclusion of his life will be
contemptible. If a merchant, a governor or a leader sees himself sitting over a
coffin that is moving freely by itself in the dream, it means taking a trip by sea.
If one sees the coffin flying in a dream, it means that a great man of knowledge
will die in that town and people will not know of it, or that a known person will
die in a foreign land or on the way to or back from a pilgrimage. If a funeral
reachs the cemetery in a dream, it means that people will surly regain their
rights. If one sees a large number of coffins scattered in a specific locality in a
dream, it means that the people of that community will break into violence,
adultery and evildoing. Carrying a coffin in a dream means earning unlawful
income. If a woman sees her own funeral in a dream it means that she will get
married. If she is married, it means payment of her debts. A funeral crossing
a marketplace in a dream means liquidation of merchandise. Paying tribute to
a funeral in a dream means bidding farewell or paying respect to a travelling
friend. Paying tribute to a passing funeral procession in a dream represents
one’s concern for his own comfort. If the deceased in the coffin points at the
person seeing the dream, it means that the latter will conduct his funeral, and
he will receive a reward for his service. If he serves that funeral till the burial
and the closing of the grave in a dream, it means that he will receive double that
reward, the value of which reward is known only to God Almighty. (Also see

ness one ventures in with greed. As for a believer, eating sweets in a dream

Satan
Seeing the accursed one in a dream means evil, sin, lying, stealing,
jealousy, sorcery, separation between husband and wife, disdain from performing
one’s prayers, or it could mean preaching falsehood. Seeing the accursed one in
a dream also means propagation of an invented world or ideas. If in a dream one
becomes Satan, it is interpreted as loosing one’s sight. If one kills Satan in a
dream, it means that he will deceive and conquer a deceiver and an evil person.
In a dream, the accursed Satan also represents an enemy of the body and the
soul. He deceives, cheats, disbelieves, as well as he is ungrateful, jealous,
capricious, arrogant, heedless, impetuous, or he could represent a leader, a
minister, a judge, a policeman, a man of knowledge, a preacher, a hypocrite, or
one’s own family and children. Seeing Satan in a dream also means villainy, dirt,
passion and sexual devilry. If one sees Satan attacking him in a dream, it means
that he earns his money from usury. If Satan touches him in a dream, it means
that someone is slandering or trying to deceive his wife. If one is sick or under
stress, and if he sees Satan touching him in a dream, it means that he will put
his hand on material wealth. If one is suffering from the consequences of devilry
while he recognizes his trials and remains steadfast in remembering God
Almighty and calling upon Him for help in a dream, it means that he has many
enemies tryingto deceive him or to destroy him, though they will eventually fail,
and in turn, they will be defeated by God’s leave. If one sees Satan following him
in a dream, it means that an enemy is pursuing him to deceive him, and
consequently one will lose his status, rank and the benefits of his knowledge.
If one sees himself inwardly talking with Satan in a dream, it means that he will
join hands with his own enemy, and his strike will be against the righteous
people, though he will ultimately fail. If one sees Satan teaching him something
in a dream, it means that he will fabricate a story, speak falsehood, or recite
poems filled with lies. If one sees that Satan has descended upon him in a dream,
it means that he engages in falsehood and sin. If one sees himself presiding over
a band of satans, controlling them, commanding them, and if they obey him in
the dream, it means that he will receive a seat of honor and he will be feared
by his friend and foes. If one ties Satan with chains in a dream, it means that
he will win victory in his life together with might and fame. If one sees himself
deceived by a group of satans in a dream, it means that he will suffer financial
losses or lose his job. If Satan strips someone from his clothing in a dream, it
means that the latter will lose a battle to an enemy. If one sees Satan whispering
something in his ear in dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.
If one sees himself defying and fighting Satan in a dream, it means that he is
a true and a strong believer who obeys his Lord and who holds fast to his
religious obligations. If Satan frightens him in a dream, it means that the latter
is a sincere deputy and a protege of God Almighty, and that God will safeguard
him from any fear of the accursed Satan or his army. If one sees a meteor or a
flame shooting at Satan in the skies in a dream, it means that there is an enemy
of God Almighty in that locality. If that person is a ruler, then his secrets will
be exposed, and if he is ajudge, it means that a just punishment will befall him
for his injustice. If one sees Satan happy in a dream, it means that he engages
in sensuality, passion and loathsome actions. In general, Satan is a weak enemy,
if one sees himself fighting him with resoluteness in a dream, it shows that he
is a religious and a pious person. If Satan swallows someone or penetrates inside
his body in dream, it means a fright, losses and sufferings. Satan in a dream also
represents builders or ocean divers who work as spies. Seeing them in a dream
also could mean backbiting or slandering. If one sees himself as a Satan in a
dream, it means that he constantly frowns with people and that he is quick to
harm them, or that he may work at cleaning sewers, or perhaps he may perish
in a fire, or die as a heedless person.
