Islamic Interpretation
A kohl jar in a dream represents a woman who serves others, offers guidance in managing wealth, and instructs women in religious and spiritual matters. The eyes symbolize one’s faith, while kohl signifies adornment or healing. Dipping the kohl applicator into the jar and applying it to the eyelids means marriage for an unmarried person, profit for the poor, or knowledge for the ignorant. If the jar contains ashes, butter, foam, or filth, it indicates seeking livelihood through falsehood and innovation. A kohl jar may also symbolize a chest, lost wealth, or a container for keeping papers and documents. (Also see Kohl)
