Rain in a dream, if it causes no harm or destruction, signifies blessings, profits, and mercy; it also represents life, an earthly being, or the fulfillment of a promise. If the rain falls only on a specific place, it indicates sorrow and distress for its people or the loss of a loved one. Rain falling solely over one's own house means personal blessings, but if it falls over the entire town, it denotes blessings for all. However, rain limited to one's house can also indicate illness or severe pain for someone in that home. If the skies rain stones or blood, it signifies calamities and divine punishment for sins. Rain of dust or sand points to an unjust ruler in that area, while rain of dirt without dust means prosperity and good harvest. For a traveler, rain in a dream suggests obstacles on the journey. A destructive rainstorm symbolizes dishonesty, cheating in trade, or the spread of immorality in society; seeing it tear down buildings, destroy homes, or uproot trees represents retribution for the corruption and sins of the inhabitants. Gentle, beneficial rain may indicate reconciliation with an enemy or aiding those in need; it can also represent a caravan of camels, just as a caravan symbolizes rain. Good rain further signifies prosperity, joy, replenishing wells with fresh water, and the flowing of pure springs; it means reviving stagnant affairs, gains, blessings, relief from hardship, debt repayment, or emotional ease. For a farmer, good rain promises abundant harvest and profits. If the skies rain honey, oil, butter, or desirable food, it denotes widespread blessings.

Eating a rat in a dream denotes engaging in backbiting, slander, or acquiring unlawful wealth through dishonest means. In a broader sense, rats represent insolence, destruction, indecency, illicit relationships, marital discord, and difficulties related to the upbringing or behavior of one’s children.

To witness the final accounting of someone who has died in a dream symbolizes that person's torment in the afterlife. If a traveler is asked to give an account of his journey's expenses and is treated gently during this review, it portends profitable travels and a safe homecoming. Dreaming of oneself at this event signifies a sincere turning away from one's misdeeds. To be brought before the court on that great day and find the questioning made easy denotes divine favor in the form of a righteous, loving, and devoted spouse. Should the interrogation be harsh and meticulous, it foretells of losses. If one sees themselves being examined in a tribunal by unknown figures, it indicates deviation into religious innovation and being held to account for it. However, if those figures appear finely dressed and fragrant, offering congratulations and the greeting of peace, it signals the dreamer's own piety and virtuous conduct.

If strips of reed are seen turning into silver or gold, they point to righteous and highly valued deeds.

Reins appearing in a dream symbolize command over one's profession, authority in trade, or they may denote influence and robust financial health. They further represent a loyal servant or driver who follows orders without question. Mounting a workhorse fitted with such gear signifies holding a high office and requiring oaths of allegiance from subordinates. Plain, unadorned bridles point to a person of humility whose inner worth surpasses their outward appearance. Reins also signify security and restraint, like a safety belt. Donning a harness denotes safety and minding one's own affairs, though for someone facing trial, it suggests their evidence will be rejected, leading to defeat. Should a horse's reins break, it may herald the rider's demise. They further represent purity, guardianship, and safeguarding one's wealth, akin to the alms tax that purifies it. If the reins slip from one's grasp, it indicates religious decline, diminished devotion, or an unlawful marital situation.

Seeing the Day of Resurrection or Doomsday in a dream serves as a grave admonition for a sinner and a strong warning for one who is inclined toward committing sins. It also signifies the manifestation of justice. If one sees himself as the only person resurrected on that day, it indicates his death. Standing upright awaiting judgment on the Day of Resurrection in a dream symbolizes travel. If a person sees himself and his wife as the only ones brought forth for judgment on the Great Day of Gathering, it reflects his injustice toward her or others. For a warrior, witnessing the Day of Resurrection means that, by Allah’s decree, the aggressor will be defeated. The land of the great gathering represents a chaste woman or a noble and honorable man. Hearing the Trumpet of Resurrection blown in a dream signifies salvation and deliverance for the righteous. Witnessing the extraordinary signs and events that precede the Day of Resurrection brings glad tidings to a believer who does good deeds and serves as a stern warning for a disbeliever to repent and reform before it is too late. Such a dream may also point to the occurrence of major signs, including bloodshed, the spread of corruption, dominance of atheism, pride in wealth, empowerment of the working class, construction of tall buildings, the decline of kingship on earth, or reminders of foretold signs like the sun rising from the West, the appearance of a speaking beast, or the emergence of the Imposter (Dajjal). Seeing the Day of Resurrection likewise represents the spread of evil, the expansion of policing forces, and the rule of powerful armies and tyrannical regimes, making the dream a reminder and warning for the dreamer. If graves are seen splitting open and the dead emerging with their angels, it indicates that justice will prevail in that land. If one experiences resurrection in a dream and then sees the world return to its former state, it means justice will rule temporarily before tyranny arises through unexpected people. This dream may also apply to someone seeking the impossible or stubbornly persisting in falsehood and wrongdoing. Recognizing the imminent final signs of the Day of Reckoning in a dream signifies heedlessness and serves as a warning. An easy reckoning denotes the piety, kindness, and affection of one’s wife, while a harsh and detailed reckoning signifies great losses. If good deeds outweigh bad deeds, it shows true devotion and greater reward. Carrying the scale to weigh deeds indicates righteousness and integrity. Seeing an angel handing over the record and commanding one to read it signifies being on the right path. Walking on the bridge of Judgment while holding one’s record and crying reflects supplication for forgiveness and ease in reckoning. Seeing Doomsday may also mean escape from dangerous enemies or the occurrence of a great trial in that place. Crossing the Bridge of Judgment indicates deliverance from a severe trial or overcoming a major obstacle in life. Carrying the book of records in the right hand signifies righteousness, wealth, and honor, while carrying it in the left hand signifies falling into sin, poverty, and dependence on others, for wealth does not coexist with adultery. Witnessing the emergence of the Imposter (Antichrist) in a dream signifies new trends, innovations, and masses deviating from the straight path. (Also see Intercession, Reckoning, Rising of the dead, Trumpet of Resurrection)

They may signify relatives from varied social backgrounds, as well as the degrees of affection, unity, compassion, and mutual assistance among them.
