Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, hail signifies affliction, hardship, famine, loss of wealth, destitution, widespread oppression, or torment. By its nature, hail cools the land and destroys harmful insects, worms, and scorpions, while reducing the threat posed by snakes. Therefore, seeing hail falling in its appropriate season in a dream points to the removal of distress, relief from worries, and victory over difficulties, enemies, or envious rivals. Witnessing hail during the summer in a dream indicates commercial losses, whereas seeing it fall in winter signifies success and abundance. Intense or heavy hail in a dream denotes the ruin of businesses, disruption of communication, and damage to roads and pathways, thus symbolizing an obstruction to public benefit. Hail in a dream may also refer to an unusual type of trade or enterprise arriving from the direction of the storm-bearing wind. If no harm is experienced in the dream, hail represents good news, particularly when people are seen collecting it in containers. When hail falls upon farmland without causing damage in a dream, it signifies a plentiful harvest. Gathering hail in one’s clothes or wrapping it in fabric in a dream means loss of wealth or the disappearance of an expected delivery.
