Islamic Interpretation
Seeing a knife sharpener in a dream symbolizes a person who refines others, teaching skills, wisdom, insight, and practical intelligence, and helping people improve their abilities and sharpen their understanding. It represents discipline, sobriety, and the ability to endure hardships with dignity, patience, and self-control. At the same time, such a figure may also signify a sharp-tongued or troublesome individual who stirs conflict, exposes weaknesses, or pushes matters to decisive outcomes, embodying either constructive guidance and clarity or, in its negative aspect, vileness, provocation, and disruptive influence.
