Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, displaying harshness, austerity, grimness, or severity, whether through sharp speech, lack of restraint, or deliberate harsh conduct, signifies pride and arrogance rooted in the ego. It reflects a hardened heart that resists advice, rejects correction, and turns away from remembrance and divine guidance. Being defiant or unmoved when God’s words are spoken in a dream indicates spiritual heedlessness, self-admiration, and persistence in sinful behavior. Such a vision serves as a warning, pointing to moral rigidity, inner blindness, and the danger of distancing oneself from humility, repentance, and obedience, urging the dreamer to soften the heart and return to righteousness.
