Building a masjid in a dream also could mean becoming a real estate agent, or repenting from one's sins, or receiving guidance on God's path, or to die as a martyr, hence, what one builds for God Almighty in a dream represents his house in paradise.

However, if it stores no water, and if no pasture grows therein in the dream, it represents a tyrant and a ruler who is an atheist, for in that case, it is dead and does not glorify God Almighty, nor can people benefit from it. In a dream, a mountain that stands high is alive, but a crumbling mountain that has turned into a pile of rocks is dead. If a person sees himself climbing an erect mountain, eating from its plants and drinking from its water, and if he qualifies to govern, it means that he will be appointed to a governing post under the auspices of a stringent ruler, though his subjects do receive benefits from his government. The size of the benefits the governor will acquire is equal to the quantity of food and the amount of water he drinks from it in his dream. If the person is a merchant or a businessman, a mountain in his dream represents profits and earning a good reputation. If climbing the mountain is easy, then there are no benefits in that climbing in the dream, for there are no benefits without hardships. If at the end of his climbing, one thanks God Almighty for what he has reached in the dream, it means that he will become a just ruler. If he calls to prayers on the top of a mountain or performs his prayers thereat in the dream, it means that he will be appointed to govern. If one sees himself descending a mountain in a dream, it means loss of rank, business losses, or regret. If one is accompanied by his king and soldiers in a dream, it means that he is in the company of God Almighty and that of His angels, therefore, he shall be victorious, whereby he can win a war, conquer an enemy, or renounce his attachment to the world. If climbing a mountain with difficulty means distress, then descending it in a dream means relief. If climbing means gaining a higher station, then descending in a dream means losing rank. If one sees himself climbing a mountain, though at a certain height he finds himself no longer able to climb or to descend in the dream, it means that he will die young. If one sees himself falling from a mountain in a dream, it means that he will fall into sin. If he falls and breaks a leg in the dream, it means that he will become despised by his superiors. A mountain on fire in a dream represents the death of a dangerous person. Leaning against a mountain in a dream represents friendship with someone in authority.

Muhammad

Category: Prophets

(God's Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him, The Seal of the prophets, The last Messenger) It is related that God's Messenger, upon whom be peace, has said: "One who sees me in a dream will see me in his wakefulness, for Satan cannot impersonate me. "He also has said: "One who sees me in a dream, it is as if he has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me. " He also has said: "One who sees me in a dream will not enter the fire of hell." Muslim theologians and scholars differ in opinion about the meaning of seeing God's Prophet in a dream. Imam Ibn Seerin used to ask someone who tells of such a dream to describe the Prophet, upon whom be peace. If any of the details did not fit his description, Ibn Seerin's reply was: ''You have not seen him." Asim Bin Kulayb once said: "I related to Ibn Abbas, God bless his soul and that of his father, that I saw God's Prophet in a dream. Ibn Abbas replied: "Describe him to me." Asim Bin Kulayb added: "I described him as resembling Al-Hassan son of 'Ali, upon both of them be peace." Ibn Abbas replied: "Indeed, you have seen him." Ibn 'Arabi once explained that the essence of seeing God's Prophet is cognizance of his presence and understanding the reality of his character and example. Thus, recognizing the presence of the blessed being is an affirmation of the truth, while seeing the physical form represents his example and attributes, for being earthly does not change the essence of prophethood. When God's Prophet said, "He will see me in wakefulness," it means: 'Expounding upon what he saw,' for what one sees in such a dream is the truth which resides in the realms of the unseen. In the second saying, when God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: "It is as if he has truly seen me," it means that if one had seen him during the time of delivering God's message, the example will be the same. Thus, the first saying signifies what is real and true, while the second saying implies the physical reality and its example. If one sees God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, coming toward him in a dream, it means blessings and benefits, and if one sees God's Prophet turning away from him in a dream, it means the opposite. AI-Qadi Iyad, God bless his soul, interpreted the words of God's Prophet in his saying: "Has truly seen me," to mean: "has truly seen my physical form," that the blessed companions knew, while seeing him in another form in a dream means that one's dream connotes personal interpretations. Following the explanation of AI-Qadi Iyad, Imam Al-Nawawi commented by saying: "This is a weak explanation. A stronger interpretation is to say that one who sees God's Prophet in a dream has seen him in reality, however, his resemblance may appear. Whether the resemblance in the dream is known or not." In a separate commentary, Shaikh Al-Baqlani added: "What AI-Qadi Iyad has said does not contradict what Imam Al-Nawa has said." This is because the first dream does not require interpretation, according to AI-Qadi Iyad. In the second type of dream, which is discussed in Imam Al-Nawawi's comments, one's dream does require interpretation or analysis. This means that since no Satan can impersonate God's Prophet, then whatever appearance he displays in one's dream is true. The meaning of God's prophet's saying: "For Satan cannot impersonate me," implies that since God's guardianship (Isma) is inviolable, and since God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, is sacrosanct, then as he was protected during the time of delivering God's message to humanity, he is still protected by the same guardianship after God Almighty took him back to Himself. Thus, whoever sees God's Prophet in any appearance in a dream, it is as if they have seen him in reality, regardless of whether one sees him as a young man, or at the time of delivering his message, or as an old person. If one sees him looking old in a dream, it means peace. If one sees him looking young in a dream, it means war. If one sees him smiling in a dream, it means that one is truly emulating his traditions. Seeing God's Prophet in his known and recognized appearance in a dream means that the one seeing the dream is a pious person, that his integrity is inviolable, and that his success is unquestionable. Seeing him in a dream, frowning, represents the ill state of the one seeing the dream. Ibn Abi Jumrah once said, "Seeing Him in a beautiful appearance denotes the good religious standing of the person seeing the dream. Seeing him with some disfeatures in a dream, a deficiency or distortion in one's application of his religious duties, for God's Prophet is like a mirror that portrays the one standing before it." In this sense, the person seeing the dream can recognize their state. This interpretation is also given by Ibn Hajar Al-Hutaymi, God bless his soul. Like that, in the book of Sharh al-Shama-il of Imam Al-Tirmithi, it is also stated that Satan cannot impersonate God Almighty, His signs, prophets, or angels. If someone suffering from distress sees God's Prophet in a dream, it means that his difficulties will be removed. If a prisoner sees him in a dream, it means that he will be released from prison. If one is living at a time of economic chaos, and if high prices are exploiting the people of the land, or if injustice is tyrannizing everyone, then seeing God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, in a dream represents an end to such adversities. Seeing him in his beautiful, radiant, and impeccable appearance, as best described by his companions in a dream, means glad tidings of attaining a successful conclusion to one's life in this world and in the hereafter. The state and clarity of one's heart and how well polished his mirror is determine in what appearance he may see him, upon whom be peace. If God's Prophet comes toward someone in a dream, or leads him in prayers, or if one sees himself accompanying him on the road, or if one eats something sweet from his blessed hand, or receives a cloak, or a suitable shirt, or if God's Prophet promises him something, or prays for him, then if the one seeing the dream qualifies for leadership, and if he is a righteous and a just man who commands what is good and forbids what is evil, and if he is learned and practices what he knows, and if he is a pious worshipper and a devout Muslim, he will then attain the station and company of the blessed ones. If the one who sees the dream is a disobedient servant of God Almighty, it means that he will repent for his sins and return to his Lord. If he is living in heedlessness, it means that he will be guided. Perhaps, he might attain his goals in acquiring knowledge, or learn how to reconstruct his innermost being to befit a human being who is grateful to his Lord. If one fears oppression, persecution, or loss of his property and wealth, seeing him in a dream, it means putting an end to such fears, for he is the best of intercessors to restore anyone before God Almighty. If one who follows innovations sees God's Prophet in a dream, it means that he should fear God Almighty, heed His warnings, and correct himself and particularly if he sees Him walking away from him, or turning his back to him. Seeing God's Prophet in a dream also means receiving glad tidings and happy news, or it could signify justice, establishing the truth, fulfillment of a promise, reaching a high rank among the members of one's family, or perhaps it could mean that one may suffer from their envy and jealousy, or leave his homeland and migrate to another country, or it could mean that he may lose his parents and become an orphan. Seeing him in a dream also could mean seeing miraculous events (Karamat), for his companions witnessed and testified to a deer greeting him, a camel who kissed his foot, the broiled leg of mutton talking to him, trees moving to give him cover, pebbles glorifying God's praises in his hand, among countless miracles, including his Nocturnal Journey and ascension (Miraj) to the heavens to meet his Lord. If an ophthalmologist sees him in a dream, it means that he will acquire great expertise in his field and become renowned in the land, for God's prophet upon whom be peace, did return the eye of his companion Qutadah to its place and made his sight sharper than it was by God's leave, after Qutadah had lost his eye during one of the battles with the unbelievers. If a traveller in the desert sees God's Prophet in a dream, or if there is drought somewhere, it means that rain will fall and springs will gush forth, as water gushed from between his blessed fingers when he placed his blessed hand over a half-filled cup to quench the thirst of an entire army. If calamities, starvation, and drought have befallen a land and someone sees Him in a dream, it means that such calamities will be lifted and life will return to normal in that place. If a woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will reach a high spiritual station, honour, righteousness, chastity, trustworthiness, and perhaps be given a blessed progeny, or if she is wealthy, it means that she will spend her wealth on God's path.

If a visitor to his mosque sees himself in a dream coming before God's Prophet and finds him standing up, it denotes one's correct religious standing, and it means that he will have commanding authority over the Imam of his time. If one finds him deceased in the dream, it means that a noble person from the family of the person seeing the dream will shortly die.

Receiving something from him, such as food or a drink, in a dream means benefits and profits. If one receives food whose substance connotes negative circumstances, such as a melon or the like elements in a dream, it means that one will escape from a great danger, though he will toil and suffer from hardships during his trials. If one sees that one of the limbs that belongs to God's Prophet has become his own in a dream, it means that he is following innovation and making changes in the laws God's Prophet brought to humankind. If one sees himself in a dream embodying the form of God's Prophet, upon whom be peace, or wearing one of his garments, or receives his ring, or sword, then if the person is seeking to govern, he will attain that and the people will accept his leadership. If one is suffering from persecution or humiliation in the land, then seeing God's Prophet standing in a dream means that God Almighty will grant him victory and make him rise above his enemies. If one is poor, his needs will be satisfied, or if he is unmarried, he will get married. If one sees him in a ruined place in a dream, it means that such a place will be rebuilt. If one enters a room and finds him sitting there in a dream, it means that a miraculous sign, or a major event, will take place in such a locality. If one sees him making the call to prayer in a dream, it means that prosperity will spread in that place. If one sees him establishing the prayers in a dream, it means that the Muslims will reunite and dispel their differences. If one sees him placing kohl over his eyelids in a dream, it means that he will find safety and correct his religious stand, or it could mean that one will study and become a scholar in the field of the prophetic sayings. If a pregnant woman sees him in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a son. If one sees him having a black beard with no grey hair in it in a dream, it will bring happiness, joy, and prosperity to one's life. If God's Prophet is seen as an old man in a dream, it means strength in one's life and victory over one's enemy. Seeing him in his most exalted state in a dream means that the Imam, or the ruler of the country, will rise in station and that his authority will expand. If one sees his blessed neck wide, it means that the Imam is holding firmly to his trust. If one sees him having a large chest in a dream, it means that the Imam or the ruler of the country is generous toward his subjects. If one sees his blessed stomach empty in a dream, it means that the treasury of the country is empty. If one sees his right hand closed in a dream, it means that the Imam or the ruler of the country does not pay his employees, or distribute the collected alms tax. If one sees his blessed right hand open in a dream, it denotes the generosity of the ruler and his compliance with the distribution of charities and alms tax as prescribed in God's book. If his hands are locked together in a dream, it means complications in the life of the Imam, or the ruler of the country. The same will affect the life of the person seeing the dream, including suffering from distress and adversities.

To eat with him in a dream means that one is commanded to pay the annual alms tax (Islamic law) due over one's money-making assets, or liquid assets, gold, silver, jewellery, savings, etc., excepting one's home or vehicle. If one sees God's Prophet eating alone in a dream, it means that the one seeing the dream refuses to give charity and disdains to help those who ask for his help.
