Islamic Interpretation
(Early followers, Jurist, Masjid, Knowledgeable men, Mosque, Religious authorities, Pious individuals) A scholar in a dream heralds good news, advancement, or praise, and denotes one who practices and speaks according to his knowledge. Seeing an early scholar denotes an increase in understanding, for they were the sagacious bearers of God's message on earth. Their appearance also signifies growth in wisdom, contentment, and delight, and may indicate that one will rise to admonish or advise people. Beholding the early righteous ones and the blessed companions of God's Prophet, peace be upon him, signifies an increase in piety. If one sees a scholar recognized as an authority in religious learning and heeds his counsel in the dream—though in waking life he follows a different school—it foretells an ordeal that will be long remembered, yet his testimony will be accepted by people. Should a renowned early scholar appear during a time of hardship, economic strain, or drought in a community, it signals the relief of their affliction. Seeing an unknown scholar or religious authority means a healer or philosopher may visit one's home.
