Islamic Interpretation
In dreams, palm fiber or a rubbing cloth symbolizes new clothing, renewal, and outward change in one’s condition or appearance. It can also represent accumulated wealth and possessions that weigh heavily upon their owner, either because of the hardship, strain, or questionable means used to acquire them, or due to neglecting their obligations, such as failing to pay the prescribed alms and required charities. In this sense, palm fiber reflects material burdens, moral responsibility tied to wealth, and a reminder that prosperity brings accountability, purification, and the duty to give in order to attain true ease and blessing.
