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 sky or 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.

Thus, having a dream during the month of Muharram could be even called a vision, and it never fails. Such a dream means success, relief from difficulties, release from prison, or recovery from an illness. If the person had retreated from his town, he would return to it. This interpretation is based on the story of God's prophet Jonah, upon whom be peace, after he emerged from the belly of the whale. Perhaps the person in the dream may face a great spiritual challenge in his life, or it could mean the death of a great man of knowledge, or the emergence of such a gnostic or wise man in that city. If the person seeing the dream is a sinner, it means that he will repent of his sins, for God Almighty has accepted the repentance of Adam, upon whom be peace, during that month. If the person in the dream hopes for a station of honour, he will attain it, because God Almighty has raised the Prophet Enoch (Idris), upon whom be peace, to a high station during that month. If a traveller sees a dream during that month, it means that he will safely return home from a long journey, because it is the month in which the Prophet Noah, upon whom be peace, was saved with his people, and it is the month in which the ark settled on top of Mount Judiyyi. If the seer desires a son, then he will beget a righteous son, because it is the month in which God's prophets Abraham and Jesus, upon both of them be peace, were born. If the person seeing the dream is suffering from tight financial circumstances and if he desired a way out, it means that he will see the light or escape from the danger of his enemy, because this is the month in which God's prophet Abraham was saved from the fire of Nimrod, or perhaps, if he had followed a path of innovation and falsehood, he will turn back to God Almighty and repent of his sin, because it is also the month in which God Almighty forgave the prophet David, upon whom be peace. If the person in the dream is impeached from his leadership position or stripped of his status, he will return to his office and regain honour, because it is also the month in which God Almighty returned the Prophet Solomon to his kingdom. If one is bedridden, it means that he will recover from his illness, because it is the month in which the prophet Job recovered from his illness, or perhaps it could mean that one will be sent as an emissary with a mission, or as an ambassador, because it is during this month that God Almighty spoke to His prophet Moses upon whom be peace. As for the second lunar month, known in Arabic as ~afar, having a dream during it could be interpreted as follows: If one is pessimistic about what he saw, then it could mean the opposite. If he is sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one is needy, it means that their needs will be satisfied. If one is suffering from stress and worries, it means that they can cause them no harm. If one sees his dream during the third lunar month, known in Arabic as Rabiul Awwal, and if he is a merchant, it means that his business will grow, prosper, and that his money will be blessed, or perhaps he may conceive a child during that month.

If he is persecuted or treated unjustly, he will end in a triumph, or it could mean that he will hear good news, or he may be appointed as a governor, or he may admonish people to do good and discard evil, for it is the month in which God's Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, was born to this world. If one's dream takes place during the fourth lunar month, known in Arabic as Rabiul Thiini, and if it suggests glad tidings, then one may have to wait and exercise patience, but if it suggests evil, then such a happening will come fast. During this month, seeing a dream also means victory over one's enemy, or it could mean conceiving a blessed son who will grow to become a gnostic, or a hero, for it is during this month that the Imam 'Ali, may God bless his countenance and be forever pleased with him, was born. As for the fifth lunar month, known in Arabic as Jamiul Awwal, seeing a dream during this month means that one should slow down or scrutinize his buying and selling, or it could mean that he may lose his daughter or wife, for it is in this month that the daughter of God's Messenger, upon whom be peace, Fatima died. May God be forever pleased with her. If the dream happens during the sixth lunar month, known in Arabic as Jamadu Thaw, and if the dream carries a good meaning, it will come, but slowly, and one should not contradict it. If one sees this dream during the seventh lunar month, known in Arabic as Rajab, it means that he will gain honour and status, for it is the month of the Prophet's Ascension (Miraj) and his night journey to the seventh heaven. A dream during the eighth lunar month, known in Arabic as Sha'ban, represents honour and ranks, for during this month, every good deed will be honoured. As for the ninth lunar month, known in Arabic as Ramadan, in it, all difficulties will be suspended, evil will be shunned, and stinginess will be dispelled. During this month, all that is good will manifest, and bad dreams will dissipate to become null and void. During this month, the dreams of a believer may be differently interpreted than the dreams of a disbeliever. If one sees the month of Ramadan in his dream, his dream means blessings, profits, commanding good and forbidding evil. If the person is seeking knowledge, then knowledge will be given to him, for it is during this great month that the Holy Qur'an was revealed. If the person is afflicted with epilepsy, he will recover from it, for the devils and all evil spirits are shackled and are rendered powerless during this month. As for the tenth lunar month, known in Arabic as Shawwal, if one's dream suggests a war or a conflict, it means that he will come first in it, and that he will triumph. If one sees the month of Shawwal in his dream, it means that he will come out of difficulties and find happiness and devotion, for it is the month during which God's House, known as the Kaaba, was built. As for the eleventh lunar month, known in Arabic as Zul-Qi ‘dah, if one's dream suggests a trip, then the person should refrain from taking that trip, or perhaps he should delay it for the better. He should also guard himself where he lives. If the dream denotes stress or worries, then he should avoid whatever may cause them. However, if one's dream takes place during the twelfth lunar month, known in Arabic as Zul-Hijja indicates a journey, then one may take it, or if it denotes a good business, one should seek it, for it is a most blessed month and it is the month of festivities and sacrifices. If one sees this month in his dream or sees himself offering sacrifices in it, or if he sees himself praying the festival of Sacrifice prayers in it, his dream means paying one's debts or fulfilling one's vows, repentance from sin, guidance or perhaps his dream may indicate the death of great people of knowledge, the impeachment of governors, the changing of governments, or it could mean a sudden war.

If he sees himself calling and no one is answering his call in a dream, it means that he belongs to the company of unjust people. If he calls with a beautiful voice and the people hearken to his call in the dream, it means that he is seeking the approval of people in authority.

If one sees himself as a caliph or as an Imam in a dream, and should he qualify, it means that he will receive such an honour, rank, trust, and fame in the land, though his vice-regency will not become hereditary. However, it is a bad omen if he becomes a caliph in the dream and does not qualify for such an appointment. In such a case, and by contrast, he will be humiliated and dispersed, and his helpers will become his superiors, while his enemies will rejoice at his misfortune.

Otherwise, should he in the dream fear the consequences of what is happening, or if he lacks trueness, or if he slanders them, or indulges in what is unlawful for him to do, then should he reach the king's door, it means that he will triumph against his enemies inside that palace, and they can cause no harm to him. If in his dream, the king gives him a gift, it means that he will win victory and honour in his life to equal the value of that gift.

If one sees himself sleeping alone in the king's bed in a dream, it means that he will marry a woman from the governing family, or that he may spend from his own money for the sake of a woman in that palace. If the bed is in the palace, though unknown in the dream, it means that he will become a member of that government.

If the king is seen walking alone in the markets in a dream, it means that he is a humble, just, and strong ruler.

If the king dies and does not get buried in a dream, it means that the king and his subjects are deviants. If he is buried and the people walk away from his grave in the dream, it means that one will pursue something of no benefit, unless God Almighty decrees otherwise.

Building a masjid in a dream means emulating the traditions of God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, fostering the unity of one's family, or becoming a judge, should one qualify for such an office. A masjid filled with people in a dream represents a gnostic, a man of knowledge and wisdom, or a preacher who invites people to his house, advises them, brings their hearts together, teaches them the precepts of their religion, and explains the wisdom behind the divine revelations. Seeing a masjid being demolished in a dream means that such a gnostic, or religious scholar and devout believer, will die in that locality. In a dream, if the roof of a masjid caves in, it means that one will indulge in an abominable action. If one sees a stranger performing his prayers in a masjid in a dream, it means that the Imam of that masjid will die from a terminal illness. If one enters a masjid in the company of a group of people, and if they dig a small hole for him inside the masjid in the dream, it means that he will get married. If one's house becomes a masjid in a dream, it means that he will attain piety, purity of heart, ascetic detachment, and an honour he will receive from his brethren.

Otherwise, it means that one will serve God's House and fill it with invocations, supplications, serving the interests of the community, leading the people to unity and love, and teaching them to value obedience to God's commands. Building a masjid in a dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one's sins, or receiving guidance on God's path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one builds for God Almighty in a dream represents his house in paradise. Such interpretation applies if one builds a masjid following the proper procedures and with lawfully earned money, and using proper materials. Otherwise, building it with what is unlawful of money or materials in the dream, or changing the direction of the prayer niche, etc., then one's dream will carry the opposite meaning.

However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it.

If the person is a merchant or a businessman, a mountain in his dream represents profits and earning a good reputation.

Climbing a mountain and enjoying its vegetation and its sweet fresh waters in a dream means sheltering one's chastity in the company of one's wife, or learning a knowledge or a trade that will satisfy one's needs. Climbing a mountain through a straight path in a dream means facing things the way they are. If one sees mountains moving forward with him, it means a war or a major conflict between people of knowledge. Falling from the top of a mountain into the middle of beasts, crows, vultures, snakes, mammals, mire, filth, or rats and their different kinds in a dream means abstaining from sins, or refraining from innovation if escaping from them leads one into a mosque where he can enter to pray, or a garden where he can rest in peace. If the mountain crumbles, and if it is transformed into ashes or dirt in the dream, it means that whoever is meant in that dream shall lose their devotion and waste their life.

- Muhammad
Category: Prophets
(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 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 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 is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being is an 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 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 message, 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 turning away from him in a dream, it means the opposite. AI-Qadi Iyad, God bless his soul, interpreted the words of God's Prophet 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 AI-Qadi Iyad, Imam Al-Nawawi commented by saying: "This is a weak explanation. A stronger interpretation is to say that one who sees God's Prophet 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 AI-Qadi Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawa has said." This is because the first dream does not require interpretation, according to AI-Qadi Iyad. In the second type of dream, which is discussed in Imam Al-Nawawi's comments, one's dream does require interpretation or analysis. This means that since no Satan can impersonate God's Prophet, 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 in any appearance in a dream, it is as if they have seen him in reality, regardless of 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 in his known and recognized appearance 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 in a dream, frowning, represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream. Ibn Abi Jumrah once said, "Seeing Him 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 is like a mirror that portrays the one standing before it." In this sense, the person seeing the dream can recognize their 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 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 from 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 his mirror is determine in what appearance he may see him, upon whom be peace. If God's Prophet 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 fears oppression, persecution, or loss of his property and wealth, seeing him 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 in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed His warnings, and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him walking away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God's Prophet 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 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 in a dream, or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed his blessed hand over a half-filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army. If calamities, starvation, and drought have befallen a land and someone sees Him in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will reach a high spiritual station, honour, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness, and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she will spend her wealth on God's path. Seeing him in a dream also means facing adversities, bearing patience, and suffering from one's enemy. If an orphan sees him in a dream, it means that he will reach an exalted station, and the same goes if a foreigner sees him in his dream. If a physician sees him in a dream, it means that people will benefit from his medicine. Seeing him in a dream also means victory over one's enemy, or consolidating and paying one's debts, or recovering from an illness, or attending a pilgrimage to God's House in Mecca, or triumphing over one's trials, or cessation of one's adversities, or fertility of a barren land, or the pregnancy of a barren woman. If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God's Prophet and finds him standing up, it denotes one's correct religious standing, and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time. If one finds him deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die. If one sees the funeral of God's Prophet in a dream, it means that a calamity will befall that country. Following his funeral procession up to his grave in a dream means that the person seeing the dream will yield to innovations. Visiting his grave in a dream means receiving a great treasure. If one sees himself as the son of God's Prophet in a dream, and even if one is not one of his descendants, it denotes one's sincerity, true faith, and certitude. Seeing God's Prophet by one person does not exclude the remainder of the believers, but the blessings encompass all of them. Receiving something from him, such as food or a drink, in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives food whose substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger, though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that one of the limbs that belongs to God's Prophet has become his own in a dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws God's Prophet brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream embodying the form of God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is suffering from persecution or humiliation in the land, then seeing God's Prophet standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him in a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters a room and finds him sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous sign, or a major event, will take place in such a locality. If one sees him making the call to prayer in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers in a dream, it means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings. If a pregnant woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a son. If one sees him having a black beard with no grey hair in it in a dream, it will bring happiness, joy, and prosperity to one's life. If God's Prophet is seen as an old man in a dream, it means strength in one's life and victory over one's enemy. Seeing him in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam, or the ruler of the country, will rise in station and that his authority will expand. If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to his trust. If one sees him having a large chest in a dream, it means that the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees his blessed stomach empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand open in a dream, it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God's book. If his hands are locked together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream, including suffering from distress and adversities. If one sees his blessed leg beautiful and hairy in a dream, it means that one's clan will become stronger, and his tribe will grow. If one sees the blessed thighs of God's Prophet tall in a dream, it denotes longevity of the Imam or the ruler of the country. If one sees him standing amid soldiers and everyone is laughing and joking in a dream, it means that the Muslim army will be defeated and humiliated in a war. If he is seen with a small army that is ill-equipped and everyone is looking down in the dream, it means that the Muslim army will triumph in that year. If one sees him combing his blessed hair and beard in a dream, it means that one's distress and adversities will be dispelled. Seeing him in his mosque, or any mosque, or his usual place in a dream, it means gaining power and honour. If one sees him standing amid his companions delivering a revelation in a dream, it means that one will acquire greater knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. Seeing the grave of God's Prophet in a dream means prosperity and profits for a merchant, or the release of a prisoner from jail. Seeing oneself in a dream as the father of God's Prophet means that one's faith will diminish and his certitude will weaken. If a woman sees herself in a dream as one of the wives of God's Prophet, it represents her growing faith. If one sees him looking into one's affairs in a dream, it means that God's Prophet is admonishing the one seeing the dream and commanding him to render his wife her due rights. To walk behind him in a dream means following his (Sunnah) traditions in wakefulness. To eat with him in a dream means that one is commanded to pay the annual alms tax (Islamic law) due over one's money-making assets, or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewellery, savings, etc., excepting one's home or vehicle. If one sees God's Prophet eating alone in a dream, it means that the one seeing the dream refuses to give charity and disdains to help those who ask for his help. In this sense, it is as if God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, is commanding the person to give charities and to help the needy. If one sees him barefoot in a dream, it means that one has neglected to do their regular prayers. To see him and to shake hands with him in a dream means that one is truly his follower. If one sees his blood mixed with that of God's Prophet in a dream, it means that one will marry a woman from among his descendants, or that one will marry the daughter of a great religious scholar. If God's Prophet gives someone some type of greens or herbs in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger. If he gives him something fresh or honey in the dream, it means that one will learn the Holy Qur'an and acquire great knowledge and wisdom according to the amount he receives in his dream. If one returns the gift to God's Prophet, it means that he will follow innovation. To see him delivering a sermon in a dream means that he is commanding people to do good and to eschew evil. If one sees the colour of his skin tan in a dream, it means that one will think about repenting from his sins and abstain from young people. If the colour of his skin is white in the dream, it means that one will repent for his sins and turn to God Almighty for acceptance. If he reprimands someone in a dream, it means that one must refrain from innovation and follow the prophetic traditions. If one finds that God's Prophet has died in a specific location in a dream, it means that the person seeing the dream will die in that same place, and God knows best. (Also see Visiting holy sites)

In a dream, each one of God's prophets, upon all of them be peace and blessings, is like a compassionate father toward his son, who is trying to save his child from the hell of this world and the hell-fire in the hereafter. In a dream, a prophet also represents a teacher, a tutor, a shaikh, a warning, or glad tidings. If one sees them standing in a stately form, or if one prays behind them, or follows them on the road, or eats something from their delicious food, or drinks from their drink, or if one is anointed with their perfume, or learns something from them, or acquires a particular knowledge from them in a dream, it demonstrates his trueness, faith in God's oneness, following His Messenger and being faithful to his traditions. Otherwise, if one walks before them, or leads them into a narrow lane, or stones them, or mocks them, or argues with them in a dream, it means that he is an innovator and a heedless person. This could also mean that he will be persecuted by his superiors, for a prophet in a dream also represents a ruler or a king, and God's prophets are in truth the guardians of the souls, and they are kings in this world and in the hereafter. A prophet in a dream also represents a religious scholar, because religious scholars are the heirs of the prophets, upon all of them be peace. Religious scholars also know God's prophets better than the common people. They understand their message and follow their traditions of glorifying God's Oneness, devotion, piety, prayers, charity, acting upon what they know, and admonishing others to follow the path of truth and righteousness. A prophet in a dream also represents one's superior, a preacher, a righteous Imam, a conscientious teacher, and a caller to God Almighty. Seeing any of God's prophets looking gracious, stately, and courtly in a dream also represents his people's devotion, or that a major and positive change will take place among his followers. If such a prophet looks spurious, unhappy in a dream, or if he appears in a state that does not befit God's prophets, it means that his followers in the world have deviated from his path and created their own religion, opposing his commands, falsifying and interpreting his message to their liking, and abusing his admonition. If one claims to be a prophet in a dream, it means that he will become known in his field, or if he qualifies, he may become a ruler, a judge, a teacher, or a caller to God Almighty, commanding what is good and forbidding what is evil. Otherwise, it means that he will be afflicted with a great calamity because of a falsehood he fosters, or innovations he practices. If one becomes a messenger in a dream or a caller to God Almighty, and if someone hearkens to him and accepts his message in the dream, it means that he will rise in rank. Otherwise, it means that he will become a broker, a liar, a defrauder, a swagger, depending on his level of knowledge, or it could mean that he will be struck with a major calamity in his life. Such a calamity will be of the same calibre, degree, and nature that a messenger of God Almighty may have suffered from his people. Seeing one of God's prophets in a dream also means living the experience of time, space, and condition in which he saw him in the dream. Wearing the cloak of one of God's prophets in a dream means attaining one's goals, or presiding over people, or acquiring true knowledge. Consequently, one will become renowned, revered, and his opinions will be respected by most people. If one becomes a prophet in a dream, it means that he will die as a martyr, or become poor and be gifted with patience and endurance. He will then be granted victory, and God willing, all his needs will be satisfied. Emulating the devotion of a prophet in a dream means trueness in one's faith, compliance with God's religion, certitude, and determination. Becoming one of God's prophets, upon all of them be peace and blessings, in a dream means commanding good and forbidding evil, suffering from adversities and distress equal to those endured by such a prophet, then one will escape from destruction or humiliation by God's leave and through His subtle kindness. If one sees a prophet suffering from poverty and asking for help in a dream, it means that God Almighty will satisfy all the needs of the person seeing such a dream for the sake of the blessings reserved for that prophet. If one kills a prophet in a dream, it means that he will betray a trust, negate a promise, or deny a covenant. Living in the time of one of God's prophets on earth in a dream means honour, dignity, success, piety, and wealth if one is suited for such gifts. Otherwise, it means that Satan is deceiving him. If a prophet of God Almighty beats a righteous and sincere believer in a dream, it means that he will attain peace and salvation in his life in the hereafter. If a prophet talks to someone in a dream, it means that he will receive blessings, honour, status, knowledge, wisdom, and fame in his life. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be peace.)

If one experiences the resurrection in a dream, then discovers that the world went back to continue its prior course, it means that justice will dominate that land for a while, then it will be followed by a tyranny that will be carried by people who are not even suspected to be of such character. Such a dream also could be interpreted to suit a person who is seeking the impossible, or one who is adamant in pursuing the path of wrongdoing, falsehood, and lies.

If one sees Doomsday in a dream, it means that he will escape from dangerous enemies, or that perhaps a major trial will befall the dwellers of that place. If one crosses the Bridge of Judgement in a dream, it means that he will escape a major trial, or perhaps it could represent a major hurdle one may have to cross in this life. If one sees himself carrying his book of records in his right hand in a dream, it means that he will win righteousness, wealth, and honour. If one sees himself carrying his book of records in his left hand in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin and the consequent poverty and need of others, for wealth and adultery do not mix.

If one sees himself gathering a bunch of green sprouts in a dream, it denotes a warning. If one recognizes its substance in his dream, interprets the element, and then goes back to its innate quality. Entering into a field of sprouts in a dream means a marriage into the family that owns that farmland, or it could mean a business partnership. If one sees himself bartering green sprouts for bread in a dream, it means aversion to poverty. Eating cooked sprouts in a dream means benefits in every respect. If one sees himself in a dream exchanging quails and manna (See Manna) for green sprouts and garlic, it means that he will be subjected to poverty and humiliation.

- Staff
Category: Objects
(Rod, Wand, Scepter, Stick) In a dream, a staff represents a distinctive, strong, generous, and helpful person. Holding a staff in a dream means depending on a person who also carries some imprints of hypocrisy. Through such a person, one will attain their goals, gain strength, and overcome their enemy. Leaning on a hollow staff in a dream means losing one's wealth and keeping it a secret. If the staff of a governor, or a leader, or a manager is broken in a dream, it means that he will lose his post. If he is a merchant, it means that he will lose his business. If one sees himself hitting the ground with his staff in a dream, it means that he will have control over that land, preside over its people, or triumph over the landlord. If one turns into a staff in their dream, it means a quick death. A broken staff in a dream represents a sickness that will lead to debilitation and complete loss of power. A staff in a dream also means giving orders, victory over one's enemies, or attainment of one's goals. If the staff is made from a branch of a palm tree in a dream, it means isolation. If it is made from a branch of an almond tree in the dream, it means banishment. If it is made from a branch of a plum tree in a dream, it means religious hypocrisy. A staff in a dream could also represent a snake or sorcery. Hitting someone with a staff in a dream means using harsh language with him. If a poor person hits a rock with his staff, and if water gushes forth from the rock in the dream, it means prosperity. If a rich person sees such a dream, it means an increase in his wealth. The water that comes out of a rock in a dream could also represent sweet earnings. A wooden staff in a dream represents a vile person, or an irreligious man, because wood in a dream means hypocrisy. (Also see Scepter, Solomon, Transformation)
- Stairway
Category: Objects
(Conveyor, Steps, Travels) In a dream, stairways represent the vehicle of rising in station, advancement in worldly gains, seeking the blessings of the hereafter, and the rising of one's station in the hereafter. A stairway in a dream could also represent the days of one's life and their term. If one sees a staircase that he recognizes in the dream, it could represent the servant of a house, its owner, or its accountant. If a sick person sees himself climbing an unknown staircase which is leading him to the upper room from where he can see paradise in the dream, it means that he may die from his illness and reach what he saw. If obstacles hinder his way or impede his climb in the dream, it means that he is detained, and the immediate blessings of such a gift will be veiled from him. Descending a staircase in a dream means arriving from a journey, resigning from a job, impeachment, or it could represent a pedestrian. If one's descent leads him to his family, house, or farmland in the dream, it means money. If what he reaches at the end of the staircase is unknown, and if one meets people, or souls, he does not recognize in the dream, it also denotes what we have earlier explained. If during one's climb or descent he falls into a well, or if a giant bird grabs him and flies away with him, or if a beast devours him, or if he steps into a boat that sails away as he steps into it, or if he takes a step to find himself riding an animal, or a vehicle of some type, the staircase then represents the stages of one's life and what he encountered during the journey of his life, all replayed or screened before his eyes at the point of descending into his grave, or as a book one reads after his death. If he does wake up and finds himself healthy and fit, it means that he will become a tyrant, an unjust person, an atheist, and a reprobate. If one sees himself descending a staircase that leads him into a mosque, lush foliage, green fields, a fresh breeze of spring, or into a pond to take a ritual ablution to perform his prayers in the dream, it means that he will become a true believer, repent for his sins, and abandon his blameworthy conduct. Otherwise, if he descends upon adverse elements such as snakes, lions, steep hills, corpses, or a field of scattered remains in a dream, then it represents major trials and adversities. If the steps are made of clay in one's dream, they indicate positive signs. However, a stairway could be regarded as unfavourable if its steps are made of backed bricks. If they are made of stones in the dream, they mean business success, along with a heart like a stone. If the staircase is made of wooden steps in the dream, it means reaching a high rank, which is compounded with hypocrisy. If they are made of gold in the dream, then they mean achieving success and gaining authority. If they are made of silver in the dream, they represent one's entourage and attendants. Climbing a staircase in a dream also means sharpening one's intellect and awareness. In a dream, a stairway is also interpreted to mean leading a life of ascetic detachment and devotion. Coming near a staircase in a dream also means attaining success and a growing piety. Each step represents a different station. Climbing a staircase in a dream also represents the dangers one may have to cross. Seeing a staircase with five steps in a dream represents the five time prayers, or the pulpit where the Imam stands to deliver his Friday sermon. That is why some interpreters qualify the staircase in one's dream as glad tidings, good news, prayers, charity, alms giving, fasting, or a pilgrimage. God knows best.

Seeing the stars falling from the sky could also mean becoming bald or losing one's hair. Whereby, the stars represent one's hair and the skies represent one's head. Seeing the stars during the daytime in a dream means scandals, notoriety, or major events and calamities. Seeing the morning stars in a dream means a wedding.

If one sees a statue and does not associate it with worship, or if he does not see anyone worshiping it in his dream, his dream then represents financial gains. A statue in a dream also means to be enamored with a woman or a boy. Statues in a dream also could mean deafness, idiotic behaviour, dumbness, attachment to anything in this world, making an idol out of it, such as one's love and attachment to his position, status, business, wife, beloved, house, or child, etcetera. If one owns a statue in a dream, it means that he may marry a deaf, or a dumb, or a non-intelligent woman, or that he may beget a child who will grow up having one or more of these defects. In whatever condition one sees the statue in their dream, it will reflect on any of the above. A statue in a dream also represents a generation.

(Author, Book, Letter, Scribe, Secretary, Starling, Write) A writer in a dream represents a dishonest, cunning, deceitful, and fraudulent person. If a writer sees himself unlettered in a dream, it means that he will forget his pranks, or lose his mind, or waste his religion, or develop a weak spiritual standing, or become poor.

Discovering oneself as a writer in a dream means that one will attend to the comfort of others rather than to his comfort. Consequently, he will get exhausted from such exercise and find that he gained nothing from it. If a sick person sees such a dream, it means their death. If a worker sees that dream, then it connotes his honesty and loyalty, or it could mean that he will be promoted or get a raise from his employer.

Seeing a well-dressed and pleasingly adorned young woman in a dream means hearing pleasing news coming from an unexpected person. Seeing a young and beautiful-looking female servant in a dream means blessings, a favour, joy, and festivities. In a dream, seeing an unknown young girl is more advantageous than seeing a known one. The strongest in meaning are those teenage girls who are presentable, well-mannered, and beautifully dressed. If she is seen dressed modestly in the dream, then she represents goodness, chastity, discretion, and following the correct religious conduct. If she adorns herself and plays up her charms in the dream, then such goodness will be public. If a young girl sees herself as an old woman in a dream, it means that she will live with modesty and preserve her chastity. If an old woman sees herself turned young again in the dream, it means regaining her strength, sexual desire, and fertility. If she engages in lawful sexual intercourse in marriage, it denotes strong religious adherence. If she engages in sexual intercourse with someone without marriage in the dream, then her dream represents her love for the world and attachment to its glitters. If one sees an old woman turned young in a dream, then the above explanation becomes stronger. However, if one is poor, it means that their basic needs will be secured. If one has lost her chances in this world, it means that she will have a new opportunity, or if she is sick, it means that she will recover from her illness. Seeing a young girl frowning in a dream means that one may hear disturbing news. If she looks emaciated, then one's dream denotes poverty.

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