from the blows of his enemy, or expect to be secured and safe in his own
environment when someone calls upon him for something. If he is sick, it means
that he may die from his illness. Standing on top of a tower or a wall in a dream

himself digging a grave and upon completing his work, if he discovers that what

such ground represents the abode of the hereafter. If he then enters it in his
dream, it signifies that his life term in this world has come to its conclusion. If

Seeing a known grave in a dream is a proof of what is true and a sign of what
will unfailingly come. An unknown grave in a dream represents a hypocrite.

Minaret
(Spiritual guide; Letter carrier; Lighthouse; Minaret of a mosque) In a
dream, the minaret of a mosque represents a righteous man who fosters unity
and love between people, who calls them to live by their religious covenant and
guides them on the path of God Almighty. If a minaret is demolished in a dream,
it represents the death of such a spiritual guide, fading of his name, dispersal
of his community, and perhaps it could lead to the reversal of their conditions.
The minaret of the city’s central mosque in a dream represents a letter carrier,
or a guide calling people to God’s path. Falling down from the top of a minaret
into a well in a dream means marrying a strong minded woman who uses
vicious expressions, when one already has a pious wife with whom he enjoys
peace and tranquility. It also means losing one’s authority or control. Climbing
a wooden minaret and calling people to prayers in a dream means attaining
authority and rising in station through hypocrisy. Sitting alone on the top of
a minaret, praising God’s glory and glorifying His oneness in a dream means
becoming famous, while the loud glorifications mean that one’s distress and
sorrow will be lifted by God’s leave. The minaret of a mosque in a dream also
represents the chief minister of the ruler, or it could represent the muezzin.
