Islamic Interpretation
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.)
