Islamic Interpretation
A fig tree symbolizes bountiful harvests or growth in progeny for the dreamer who consumes its fruit, or it may represent a prosperous individual who serves his community. Even adversaries will gain from him, since various serpents inhabit fig trees. No other fruit surpasses figs in benefits. Figs denote effortless and enduring gains that become evident. Fig leaves in visions signify anxiety, mourning, and melancholy. Eating a fig leaf portends grief and hardship. Observing black figs in season suggests ease, while white figs carry more favorable meaning. Consuming figs out of season indicates envy. Alternatively, figs can represent sorrow, recalling the final days of Adam and Eve during their original dwelling in paradise. (Also see Fig tree)
