Islamic Interpretation
Mahaleb, the fragrant tree whose seeds are used in perfumes and sweets, symbolizes in a dream pure, lawful, and blessed sustenance that brings both material benefit and inner satisfaction. Seeing a mahaleb tree reflects earnings that are sweet in nature, gained through permissible means, and accompanied by barakah, good reputation, and contentment of the heart. Its pleasant fragrance points to praise, good mention among people, and the enjoyment of wholesome provisions. Seeing its branches or parts may indicate growth, continuity of blessing, or benefit extending to one’s household. It may also signify the birth of a son, especially one who will be a source of joy, righteousness, and sweetness in character, or it may point to the strengthening of family lineage through lawful provision and gratitude.
