Islamic Interpretation
Invoking the Name of God Almighty in a dream heralds blessed news. Basmallah signifies achievement, understanding, direction, and wealth. Reciting “Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem” in a dream may mean living long enough to witness one’s children and grandchildren, or recovering something lost. It may also indicate a resolve to marry, good offspring, and receiving guidance after neglect. Writing “In the Name of God” beautifully signifies gaining wealth and esteem in one’s field. If a deceased person writes it, it shows that the departed is embraced by divine mercy. If a living person writes it and then erases it, or if a bird steals it, it foreshadows his approaching death and depletion of worldly provision. Reciting it during prayer when not customary suggests offering excess charity, or favouring one parent over the other, whichever applies.
