Seeing the loss of a child in a dream generally conveys the opposite of what it appears: it heralds happiness, family reunions, delight, and increased respect for the dreamer. Certain scholars add that it may indicate a time when one's children or spouse will pursue greater independence, such as establishing their own residence or separating households. Thus, a vision that seems filled with sorrow often carries a reassuring promise from Allah of ease, harmony, and dignity following worry or strain. Though the image is distressing, especially for parents, traditional Islamic understanding transforms it into glad tidings: the conclusion of anxiety, restoration of peace in the home, long-desired reconciliations or gatherings, and elevation in status or maturity. It reflects deep parental love and concern, yet by divine grace points toward healing and renewed honour. Some authorities observe that this symbol can represent children or a spouse preparing for new autonomy, manifesting as offspring maturing and seeking their own path—through studies, employment, marriage, or relocation—or a partner desiring more personal space. Such transitions may evoke pain, prompting the dream to employ a powerful image, but the core message remains encouraging: with God-consciousness, forbearance, and upright conduct, family ties strengthen even amid change. Children in dreams hold varied significance—carrying one suggests duties or financial matters, a youthful adolescent brings removal of troubles, a handsome young person entering a place foretells imminent good news, a small boy implies concerns and efforts among challenging people, while a small girl during hardship signals relief and prosperity. The bereavement overlays these, often indicating that burdens or trials linked to family and sustenance are approaching their end, to be replaced by lightness, gratitude, and joy. This vision frequently arises amid persistent fears for loved ones, dread of separation, family shifts like marriages or moves, or heavy responsibilities from debts and provision. In such moments, it serves as a reminder that Allah witnesses one's striving and apprehension, and relief, contentment, and honour may soon follow difficulty, by His will. Upon awakening disturbed, one may respond spiritually by recalling the favourable classical interpretation, praising Allah in all circumstances, supplicating for family safety and guidance, maintaining regular remembrances especially Ayat al-Kursi at bedtime, and offering charity for protection and ease—turning the experience into renewed reliance on Allah and affection toward kin.

Witnessing oneself interred following death in a dream suggests embarking on an extended voyage marked by financial scarcity. Being laid in the earth while still alive, and recognizing the person doing so, indicates that individual will wrong the dreamer through attack, tyranny, confinement, or unfair treatment. Perishing within the grave after interment foretells possibly succumbing to those afflictions. Enduring and emerging from them promises deliverance from similar threats, captivity, or wrongdoing. Observing another guiding one toward the grave's brink implies that person will steer the dreamer toward demise, yet praise may follow posthumously. Placement in a casket by another signifies relocating to a fresh residence. Heaping soil over the body points to accumulating wealth proportionate to the earth covering it. Burial while alive generally signifies decline in faith or devotion, unless the dreamer emerges unharmed. Stepping forth from the tomb soiled with earth, then brushing it away, reflects a dire condition or faint prospect for sincere atonement. Such live burial can denote incarceration, disdain from others, or harsh retribution serving as a warning to onlookers. A scholar or sage buried alive within his dwelling, or revived from it, means heirs will receive his learning, insight, and rank. Similarly, a prophet or pious figure rising alive from his tomb conveys inheritance of their spiritual legacy. Interment occurring after dawn, midday, or dusk serves as admonition to pursue righteousness and shun wrongdoing. Live burial is deemed erroneous, symbolizing disloyalty. It may alternatively represent union in marriage, affluence, or serenity following trials. A departed soul entombing the dreamer alive suggests unpaid obligations, detention to settle them, or rejected surety. Re-interring a deceased person implies concealing one's own errors. One deceased burying another indicates reconciliation, purified relations, affection and bonds among kin, or possibly confinement, wedlock, illness, an entrusted duty, or securing a debt. Experiencing burial post-death urges repentance prior to passing. Emerging alive thereafter hints at renewed contrition. Allah knows best. (Also see Cemetery, Grave)
