Aqiqah rites
(Hair of a newborn; Immolation offered on the seventh day for a
newborn; Islamic tradition of shaving the hair of a newborn on the seventh day
after his birth; Sacrament; Weighing the shaved hair of a newborn and distrib¬
uting an equal measure in gold or silver in charity for his benefit.) The offering
of an ‘Aqiqah ceremony in a dream represents glad tidings, the arrival of a long
awaited person, recovering from an illness, or the release of a prisoner. Partici¬
pating in the sacrament of the ‘Aqiqah rites in a dream also could represent a
growing faith and certitude, and emulating the blessed traditions of God’s
Prophet, upon whom be peace. If the sacrifice presented in one’s dream on that
day is a permissible one and if one fulfills all the necessary rituals in his dream,
then it denotes his praiseworthy character and the success of his endeavors. If
one offers a non-permissible sacrifice in his dream and presents it to people to
eat from, then his dream represents a recalcitrant child, or a rebellious son.
