Why Dream Interpretation Matters in Islam

In Islamic tradition, dreams hold significant spiritual meaning. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated that good dreams are from Allah and are a form of glad tidings. Understanding dream symbolism helps believers reflect on their spiritual state and seek guidance. Our interpretations combine classical scholarship with contextual understanding to provide meaningful insights.

All Prophets Dream Interpretations

Aaron

Seeing Prophet Aaron (peace be upon him) in a dream signifies honor, spiritual rank, or being entrusted with leadership, possibly even serving as an imam or deputy of an important figure. It may also indicate facing many difficulties before ultimately achieving success. Such a vision suggests triumph, fulfillment of goals, or the downfall of an unjust ruler. If a warrior sees Prophet Moses or his brother Aaron (peace be upon them both), it signals clear victory and overcoming the enemy.

Abraham

Seeing Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him, in a dream is an auspicious sign indicating wealth, blessings, uplifting news, devotion, longevity, diligence, healing for the sick, noble aspirations, righteous offspring, calling to good and avoiding wrongdoing, leaving harmful companions, adhering to divine commands, knowledge, guidance, success after setbacks, and distancing oneself from family in pursuit of God’s pleasure. In dreams, Abraham may represent compassion toward one’s children and kin, yet he can also signify enduring trials before ultimately reaching safety. (Also see Feast of Immolation; Station of Abraham.)

Adam

Adam, the father of humanity, peace be upon him, in a dream symbolizes both sin and sincere repentance. He may represent one’s father or a leader over people. Seeing him standing with dignity suggests success, achievement, and honor. If Adam speaks to the dreamer, it means acquiring knowledge. Becoming Adam or one of his companions—if one is worthy of such a rank—indicates rising to an esteemed position. Adam also reflects the temporary nature of worldly life. Seeing him may signify understanding and insight, for he was the first to witness dreams and to name created things. His presence can also denote reunion with family, forgetfulness, concerns, or recurring worries.

Daniel

(The prophet Daniel, peace be upon him.) To see him in a dream signifies that the dreamer will attain great knowledge, particularly in interpreting sacred texts and revelations. Some interpretations hold that such a vision may indicate the dreamer will rise to a position of leadership or ministry, gaining profound understanding, yet endure a period of severe trial which he will ultimately overcome. If one dreams of carrying the prophet Daniel on his shoulders, placing him by a wall, conversing with him, or receiving a message, good news, or honey fed by the prophet's hand, it denotes the dreamer will become a renowned scholar or an expert commentator on religious matters.

David

(Prophet David, peace be upon him.) To see him in a dream indicates the dreamer will attain power and authority, but may also fall into sin, adopt an ascetic life, face a trial and oppression from a wrongdoer, then by God's will be delivered and triumph over his adversary. He may also receive a high office or a rank of distinction. Some interpretations state that seeing Prophet David heralds the rule of a just leader, an honorable president, or a righteous judge in one's land. If the current ruler is unjust, this vision signifies God will replace him with a fair one. Should one become Prophet David or wear his robe in the dream, it means appointment as a judge, if qualified. If not qualified, it denotes prosperity, an increase in piety, and righteousness achieved through devotion, God-consciousness, sorrow, and tears of reverence and love for the Lord. This vision can also signify holding a deputyship, facing trials or troubles caused by women, the recitation of the Qur'an, constant remembrance of God, performing night prayers, understanding scripture, repentance, chanting divine praises, returning to the path after negligence, working with metals, or having one's repentance accepted. For one in metalwork, it promises great wealth or the mitigation of difficulties. Seeing Prophet David can also mean a successful conclusion to one's worldly life. If an unjust scholar sees him frowning or giving a warning, he must guard against wrongdoing and correct his ways.

Ishaq (Isaac)

Seeing God’s prophet Ishaq, peace be upon him, in a dream signifies trials, adversities, and periods of hardship that test patience and faith, yet they ultimately lead to relief and divine support. For one who has a disobedient or runaway son, such a vision foretells the child’s return, repentance, and restoration of obedience and family harmony. The dream also heralds glad tidings, inner peace, and tranquillity after distress, though it may indicate suffering persecution or injustice from influential people of one’s town or from relatives, followed by God Almighty’s intervention, restoring honor, dignity, and integrity. Seeing Ishaq in his most radiant and beautiful form is a sign of abundant blessings and joyful news, indicating that one’s descendants will include leaders, governors, and righteous individuals. This vision further represents emerging from constricted circumstances into ease, turning from heedlessness to guidance, from poverty to wealth, and from disobedience toward parents to renewed filial obedience. If one sees himself transformed into Ishaq or wearing his robe, it signifies approaching danger or nearness to death, followed by divine rescue and preservation of life.

Ismail

Seeing the Prophet Ismail, peace be upon him, in a dream signifies eloquence, clarity of speech, and the ability to lead, preside over, or be respected among one’s peers and colleagues. It indicates involvement in building a mosque or contributing to a righteous communal project, reflecting devotion, service, and strengthening the foundations of faith. This vision also signifies a promise that will be made and faithfully fulfilled, highlighting truthfulness, loyalty, and integrity. At the same time, seeing Ismail may point to enduring hardship, pressure, or pain inflicted by one’s father or authority figure, followed by God Almighty’s mercy, relief, and deliverance from suffering, transforming trial into honor, patience into reward, and obedience into divine favor.

Jacob

Witnessing the prophet Jacob (Ya'qub), upon him be peace, in a dream is a profound vision signifying divine strength, a life enveloped in God's blessings, and the blessing of many progeny, though some may bring temporary grief that will ultimately be resolved. This vision further symbolizes a period of familial dispersal that will culminate in a joyous reunion. It represents drawing near to God through devout worship, sincere prayer, charity, and righteous actions. Alternatively, the dream may indicate a temporary loss of sight, the joyful recovery of a lost child, or enduring a trial due to deep familial attachment—all of which, God willing, will conclude favorably. It can also forewarn of a calamity involving the loss of family and wealth, yet the dreamer will be endowed with immense patience and emerge victorious. For an ill person, it heralds recovery; for one with a supplication or need, it signals fulfillment. If one sees himself wearing Jacob's robe, it denotes impending afflictions, distress, separation from loved ones, or illness, but these sufferings will eventually vanish, replaced by happiness. The dream also points to business dealings, travels, rising costs, concealing merchandise and later revealing it. Should a woman see Jacob's wife in a dream, it suggests she may be stripped of wealth and face slander, though her case will end positively, or it may indicate the imprisonment of a child. For a sick person, seeing her signifies recovery through God's mercy and grace, as her name, 'Rahma,' embodies divine compassion. (Also see Joseph, upon whom be peace.)

Jesus

To witness the prophet Jesus (Isa), son of Mary, upon both be peace, in a dream signifies that the dreamer is a blessed, generous, and content ascetic who pleases his Lord, often destined for extensive travel and possibly gaining knowledge of medicine and herbs. Such a vision offers protection from calamities in the coming year, ensures fulfilled wishes and success in one's trade, and denotes a life of asceticism, journeys across the land, safety from enemies, and potential renown as a physician. If he is seen in a town observing its people, it signifies the lifting of afflictions and a period of peace for that place. Seeing him with his mother, upon both be peace, indicates a great divine miracle or sign manifesting there. If one sees himself as Jesus, wears his garment, or performs a prophetic duty, it foretells a rise in status: a scholar's knowledge will spread widely, a physician will become celebrated, and in general, it brings honor, power, and blessings, especially if felt with awe. For the sick, it promises recovery, but seeing Jesus ill portends one's own death. Overall, the vision points to miraculous events, social justice, and economic prosperity. For a pregnant woman, it means bearing a future physician. It may also indicate religious doubt, philosophical conflicts, discord, or the rise of his followers. Alternatively, it could signify false accusations, slander against one's mother, or experiences of distress, sorrow, defamation, or relocation, though also miracles. As the bringer of glad tidings who foretold Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace, the dream signifies good news, answered prayers, divine wrath against challengers from the upper class, or conversely, bounty, good fortune, and virtuous companionship. For a child, it may mean growing up orphaned or raised by his mother to become a righteous scholar, perhaps traveling between Syria and Egypt. For an infertile spouse, it promises restored fertility and fruitfulness. Finally, seeing Jesus descending upon a town heralds the establishment of justice and righteousness, prefiguring his eventual return by God's leave to defeat the Antichrist, eradicate falsehood, and fill the earth with justice, blessings, and victory for the believers.

Jonah

Seeing God’s prophet Jonah, Yunus upon whom be peace, in a dream signifies haste and impulsiveness, indicating that the dreamer may make a quick decision that leads to confinement, restriction, or severe hardship, followed later by release, relief, and a period of ease and enjoyment of life among a group of confused or searching people, and it also reflects an emotional nature marked by sensitivity, quick anger, swift repentance, and an equally quick return to contentment and satisfaction.

Joseph

To see the prophet Joseph (Yusuf), upon him be peace, in a dream signifies attaining a lofty position or vice-regency. It may also denote a period of rising prices, drought, separation from family, suffering from others' deceit, imprisonment followed by divine deliverance, and experiencing both favor and tribulation related to one's beauty and noble character. This vision further signifies gaining knowledge of dream interpretation, capturing an enemy, engaging in irrigation or river work, or transporting the deceased between lands, and may represent a great event or miracle, recalling how he, by God's leave, restored his father's sight. Joseph's shirt in a dream symbolizes the alleviation of grief and recovery from illness; if spotted with blood, it means separation and imprisonment; if torn from the back, it signifies false accusation. For a woman, this dream indicates a loss of comfort and eyesight, unhappiness from separation from a beloved, and love for a distinguished man; yet if she is afflicted, it foretells God's merciful turning and guidance to repentance, bringing marriage if unmarried, wealth if poor, and improvement in both worldly and spiritual life. Seeing Joseph as a young boy suggests ill fortune with siblings, enduring lies, imprisonment, and trials before ultimately rising to triumph and authority over them. The dreamer of Joseph is characterized as pious, generous, charitable, and a dispenser of sound counsel. If Joseph speaks or gives something in the dream, it denotes learning dream interpretation and sacred chronicles. Finally, the vision also portends marriage to a beautiful and genuinely loving wife. (Also see Jacob, Sale)

Khidr

Seeing Khidr, identified with God’s prophet Enoch and the blessed companion of Moses, upon both of them be peace, in a dream signifies relief and prosperity after hardship, sorrow, or depression, and a return to inner contentment and acceptance of one’s circumstances. It indicates tranquility of the heart, wisdom gained through patience, and ease following a period of difficulty, including the lowering of expenses after times of high prices or financial strain. This vision also symbolizes long life, enduring blessing, hidden knowledge, and divine guidance, and it may herald the honor of performing the pilgrimage to Mecca or being granted a journey marked by spiritual insight, protection, and fulfillment.

Moses

Moses. (God’s prophet Moses, peace be upon him.) Seeing the prophet Moses, peace be upon him, in a dream signifies that God Almighty will bring about the destruction of a tyrant through one’s hands, after which the dreamer will rise in rank, achieve repeated victories, and will not be disgraced or overcome. Such a vision also points to the strength and eventual triumph of the righteous and the unavoidable downfall of the unjust. If, at the time of the dream, there is an oppressive or impious ruler, then seeing Moses means that God Almighty will remove him and deliver the dreamer from his harm. If a person in authority sees himself as Moses or wearing one of his garments, it means he will defeat his enemy and attain what he earnestly seeks. If one sees Moses while imprisoned, persecuted, or while fearing a catastrophic event, death, a fatal accident, or a perilous sea journey, it means, by God’s will, that he will be saved and will survive the ordeal. Seeing Moses in a dream also signifies the end of oppression or victory in battle. If someone is wronged, anxious, or distressed by members of his own family and sees Moses in a similar condition, it means God Almighty will show him a way to overcome them, and if a traveller sees such a dream, it means he will return home safely. Seeing Moses further indicates trials in childhood, separation from family, witnessing extraordinary signs, suffering at the hands of one’s relatives because of sincere admonition, leaving behind a will for them, or enjoining good and forbidding evil. This vision may also symbolize a love of travel, noble intercession, sea voyages, safe return, profit, suffering from slander or false accusations, weakness in speech, unsteady movement, or affliction of the head. If an ascetic, one who has renounced worldly pleasures, or a devout person sees Moses in a dream, it signifies an increase in wisdom, illumination of the heart, and elevation in rank. If a woman sees Moses in a dream, it warns her of fear for her child, or it indicates a hardship that will ultimately end well, and the same meaning applies if a child sees Moses in a dream. Seeing oneself carrying the staff of Moses means attaining high status and prevailing over an enemy, and if the dreamer is afflicted by sorcery or an evil spell, it indicates that it will be rendered powerless.

Muhammad

(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)

Noah

Seeing God’s prophet Noah, upon whom be peace, in a dream signifies long life marked by trials, hardship, and endurance, followed by triumph and divine reward, and it reflects patience, gratitude, and contentment with God’s decree, even if one is tested through family matters such as children born from a difficult or disgraceful spouse, while remaining thankful to God Almighty for His gifts. It is said that whoever sees the Prophet Noah in a dream will become a learned person, devoted to worship, obedient to his Lord, and distinguished by patience, perseverance, and forbearance, ultimately gaining victory over enemies and receiving a great bounty from God. Such a dream also indicates that companions or followers may oppose and disobey the dreamer, yet by God’s leave he will prevail over them. Seeing the Prophet Noah likewise symbolizes rain and floods, numerous enemies, jealousy and envy from neighbors, and widespread hostility, though in the end these adversaries will suffer divine punishment while the dreamer is saved from their harm. It also points to the destruction of unbelievers and the victory of believers, and seeing him aboard a ship means rescue from destruction and salvation from drowning for all who are with him. This vision further denotes confrontation with a powerful army of unbelievers, their arrogance, verbal and physical abuse of the faithful, persecution of the weak, weakness of people’s faith, and lack of trust in God Almighty, while also symbolizing a lifetime devoted to worship, servitude, enjoining good, and forbidding evil. If a ruler sees the Prophet Noah in a dream, it means his subjects will rebel against him. The dream may also signify weeping and lamentation, family disputes, rising prices, relief after distress, hardships, and having stubborn or disobedient children. It can represent prosperity in trade, agriculture, shipbuilding, travel with diverse provisions, or the gathering of different species of animals, and it may allude to knowledge of genealogy, zoology, botany, plant sciences, horticulture, ecology, or the study of animals. Seeing the Prophet Noah may also indicate regret, sorrow, repentance for one’s behavior toward family, a son straying from God’s path, or even the death of a son due to disobedience, and if a woman sees the Prophet Noah or the Prophet Lot in a dream, it means she disobeys her husband and follows her own family and clan, whereas seeing Egypt’s Pharaoh indicates that she is a sincere worshipper and a truly obedient believer in God Almighty.

Prophet

In the language of the soul a prophet is the perfect mirror of mercy, every gesture a silent covenant that the universe is still watched by an attentive Creator; to meet him is to be folded into the original tenderness that existed before the word “I” was ever spoken, so that grief itself becomes a cradle and every wound is turned toward the light like a sunflower. He is the living syllabus of heaven, each breath a lesson in how to let the ego fall like a brittle husk and discover the sweet kernel of servanthood; whoever walks beside him walks inside the pulse of revelation, tasting the nectar that once dripped from the lips of Gabriel, and the heart learns the rhythm of certainty until doubt dissolves like salt in the ocean of la ilaha illa Allah. To wear his cloak is to inherit the weather of prophethood—its winter of exile, its spring of triumph—so that the body becomes a tent of resilience and the voice carries the echo of mountains that once knelt before David. If he offers you bread you are eating the same sustenance that once nourished Job in the ash of his patience; if he offers you water you are drinking the same stream that once gushed for Moses from a dry rock, and every drop writes on the tablet of your cells: trust, trust, trust. To see him impoverished is to witness the secret that treasure is not gold but nearness, and the bowl he extends is the sky itself upside-down, catching the coins of your tears to purchase for you a kingdom that never perishes. Whoever claims his station in sleep is claiming the wound of love that never closes, the thorn in the breast of the nightingale that keeps the song alive; if he speaks to you he is dictating the final exam of your life, and every syllable is a seed that will break open in the grave and blossom into a garden where your name is written on every leaf. To kill him in dream is to assassinate your own capacity for wonder, to tear the last page out of the book of guidance and scatter its letters like frightened birds; yet even then the blood that soaks the earth is ink, and from it will rise a single red rose whose fragrance is forgiveness. Living in his era of vision is to step out of chronological time and into the fresh clay of the first dawn, where Adam still rubs the dust from his eyes and sees every soul as his own rib; there, trade is conducted in luminous deeds, and the currency is tears of recognition. If he strikes you he is only beating the drum that announces your soul has been discharged from the army of forgetfulness; the bruise is a passport stamp that grants entry to the country of the living. Thus the prophet is not a figure but a frequency, a tuning fork struck by the divine hand; whoever hears it in dream wakes up inside the echo, and the echo keeps repeating: you were never abandoned, you were merely asleep, and the morning you asked for has already arrived. (Also see Muhammad, upon whom be peace.)

Salih

(The prophet Salih, peace be upon him, a descendant of the Thamud people, son of Habir, brother of Aram, son of Sam, son of Noah, peace be upon him. He conveyed God's message to the tribe of Thamud, who dwelled in the northwest Arabian peninsula, in Petraea between Medina and Syria, circa 700 B.C.) Seeing the prophet Salih in a dream suggests one may endure oppression from the haughty and impious, yet ultimately prevail over them by God's will in a conflict between truth and falsehood. Seeing him also indicates one might abandon the struggle against such people after a serious confrontation and evident discord. It further shows the dreamer to be a virtuous and sincere believer.

Shuaib

(The prophet of God, Shu'aib, peace be upon him, a descendant of Madyan and among the progeny of the prophet Abraham, peace be upon him.) Seeing him in a dream indicates residing among people who falsify their measures, defraud in their weights, withhold what is owed, and spread corruption. Such individuals will cause one injury, yet ultimately he will overcome them, be blessed with daughters, and live in contentment with them. If the Prophet Shuaib appears distressed or ill-favored in the vision, it may portend the loss of one's eyesight.

Solomon

(The prophet of God, Solomon, peace be upon him.) God Almighty made the wind subservient to the prophet Solomon. Seeing him in a vision denotes authority, a judicial position, gaining wisdom, or offering religious explications if the dreamer is qualified. This vision is strengthened if the Prophet Solomon crowns the person, places a ring upon his right hand, or seats him beside himself upon his throne. Seeing him also signifies surmounting trials and difficulties, and receiving a divine grant of an elevated rank in this world and greater rewards in the next. The vision may also denote tests involving women and their thanklessness. If the dreamer is a governor, it means he will be removed from office but later reinstated, or he might deceitfully wed a wealthy woman. If the seer practices sorcery, enchantment, dark arts, or conjuring spirits, it means he will benefit from his craft and become prosperous after despairing of such gains, or he will vanquish his foe. Whoever beholds the prophet Solomon will receive God's blessings, including lucid insights, clarity in religious interpretation, the capacity to learn many tongues, or become an interpreter, or perhaps master the Arabic language. Seeing Solomon also indicates recovery from illness. Obtaining Solomon's staff means engaging in defamation or false accusation, and if sick, his death. Seeing or discovering Solomon's ring means the renewal of one's leadership term, or the appearance of a great, perplexing marvel that will confound people. If a woman sees the prophet Solomon, she will mislead her husband. The vision also means acquiring knowledge of medicinal herbs. If one sees him lying deceased upon his bed, it means a caliph, military commander, leader, or scholar will die in that area, and his death may remain concealed or unrevealed for a time. Seeing him also means an increase in journeys, supremacy over one's enemy, and the subordination of both friends and adversaries to his command, should he be qualified. It further denotes wealth, dominion, swift and distant travels, and receiving blessings, peace, and safeguard. (Refer also to Solomon's ring)

Zachariah

Seeing God’s Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) in a dream signifies divine remembrance, mercy, and the fulfillment of long-awaited prayers. It indicates that God Almighty will restore fertility and blessing to the dreamer and his spouse, even after a prolonged period of barrenness or at an advanced age, demonstrating that divine power transcends natural limitations. Such a vision also foretells the birth of a righteous and virtuous son, one who will grow to become a leader, noble progenitor, or person of lasting influence. This offspring will be distinguished by upright character, wisdom, and devotion, and will carry forward a legacy of faith, honor, and remembrance of God. Seeing Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) in a dream is therefore a sign of hope, answered supplication, renewal of life, and enduring lineage, accompanied by divine favor and blessing.
