Islamic Interpretation
Reciting the Torah without recognizing it in a dream indicates adopting a fatalistic outlook. For a king or ruler, owning the Torah signifies conquering a land or concluding peace on his own terms. If the dreamer is knowledgeable, it may point to an increase in learning, innovating matters not ordained, or inclination toward jovial company. Seeing the Torah also means recovering something lost, welcoming an awaited traveler, or encountering a follower of the Jewish faith. For an unmarried person, owning the Torah signifies marriage to a woman of another religion or marrying without parental consent. It may also denote extensive journeys. If one’s wife is pregnant, seeing the Torah means she will bear a child resembling his father; holding it signifies a daughter, since the word Torah is feminine, and it may also indicate associating with corrupt companions. Similar meanings apply to other revealed scriptures. Seeing the Torah, the Evangel, or the Gospel is akin to seeing Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, as his name appears in all of them. It may also signify betrayal, breaking a covenant, or desiring something base.
