Islamic Interpretation
An elephant appearing in a dream signifies a chronic and burdensome illness that brings swelling and heaviness to parts of the body, especially the legs or private areas, reflecting prolonged suffering and physical strain, and seeing a person afflicted with elephantiasis symbolizes excessive attachment to worldly life, indulgence in material desires, and the pursuit of gain through unlawful, corrupt, or misguided means, indicating moral distortion, spiritual heaviness, and the consequences of clinging to what distracts from righteousness.
