Islamic Interpretation
(Hymns, Remembrance of God, Supplications, Songs of Divine Love) Seeing oneself in a dream engaged in the remembrance of God Almighty (zikr)—such as participating in a circle of people invoking His Most Beautiful Names, praising His Divine Attributes, reciting the Qur’an, offering supplications, or chanting devotional hymns—signifies that the place where this remembrance occurs will become a site of blessing and sanctity, a location dedicated to the glorification and worship of God. The degree of goodness, purity, and blessing attached to that place corresponds to the quality of recitation, sincerity, humility, and devotion witnessed in the dream. If the zikr takes the form of ascetic or spiritually uplifting songs, it indicates that one’s religious authority, stewardship, or moral responsibility is rightly established and sound. However, if the dream involves sensual or worldly love songs, it points to temptations, distractions, and spiritual trials that may lead one away from sincerity and restraint. Seeing oneself repeatedly calling upon the Name of God in a dream signifies victory over enemies, whether they be external adversaries or inner struggles such as desires, fears, or doubts. Calling people to God, reminding them of His Attributes, and exhorting them to righteousness in a dream represents the role of a preacher or guide—one who warns, advises, and leads others toward safety, helping them distance themselves from sin and its harmful consequences. If a merchant sees himself invoking God’s Beautiful Names in a dream, it means that his business will be protected, and that he will be saved from loss, ruin, or bankruptcy through divine favor. If a disbeliever, irreligious, or secular person sees himself remembering God and invoking His sacred Attributes in a dream, it may indicate that he will face illness or severe trials. Yet inwardly, his heart will be turning to God in supplication, seeking mercy and relief. Although he may conceal his faith outwardly—out of fear of mockery or social pressure—his inner state will remain attached to divine hope. If, during such a dream, the person utters words of truth, wisdom, or sincere counsel, it means that he will recover from his affliction, overcome adversity, and be cured of illness. Moreover, he will move toward a more stable and compassionate life, marked by charity, good deeds, guidance, and illumination, and faith will gradually settle firmly in his heart. However, if one recites prayers with a mocking tone, affected twang, or insincerity, it indicates that he will remain trapped in hardship for a prolonged time, and that people may ridicule or belittle him, reflecting inner confusion and lack of humility.
