Islamic Interpretation
(String instruments, Guitar, Lute, Mandolin) In a dream, a banjo symbolizes communal affairs, deceitful dealings, rigid exactness, immoral conduct, games of strategy, occult practices, spirit summoning, or becoming influenced by jinn and similar forces. It may also stand for the leader of such individuals, and often indicates grief or trouble. Playing a banjo with gut strings suggests a wise person offering correction or rebuke. Playing it in general reflects sadness, while tapping on it evokes longing for the past. Hearing its music means turning one’s attention toward falsehoods. (See also: Musician, String Instruments)
