Islamic dream book: interpretation of dreams. Islamic (Arabic) dream book: interpretation of dreams according to the Holy Quran and Sunnah
In the state of sleep, a considerable part of human life. Sleep is a little death, rest and a channel of communication with what is beyond our mind. Once, having fallen asleep from incredible fatigue and awakened in the morning from sleep late for the morning prayer, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) turned to his companions: “Truly, Allah (God, Lord) took your souls when he wished and returned them when he wished. Bilal, get up, call people to prayer [read the azan loudly, let everyone wake up].”
The Holy Qur'an talks about sleep in nine places. The hadith collections contain entire sections on this topic. The Prophet himself sometimes morning prayer, turning to face those praying behind him, asked: “Did any of you have a dream tonight?” Some scientists said that prophetic, true dream- this is the creation of the Lord in the consciousness of man.
However, there are people who pay too much attention to “living in a dream.” Below I will try to imagine the boundaries of rationality, to understand what is a seed in this area of life, and what is a husk.
Let's start with the fact that everything created by the Creator are signs indicating His existence and power. There are a huge number of signs both around and within us. The most striking, and perhaps the most important, valuable ones are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. Among them is a dream:
“And from among His signs is yours night sleep[restoring strength and energy spent during the day] and [half-hour or hour-long sleep] during the day [so that you can rest your body and soul]” (see).
What is a dream in the Quran?
This is a sign indicating the existence of God, as already mentioned, and also one of the forms of manifestation of His mercy:
“He [the Lord of the worlds] is the one who made the night for you a garment [like something covering you, clothing you in something], sleep a rest, and the day a resurrection (revival). [Night transfers you to a different state, sleep partially kills you, giving the body the opportunity to rest and recover, and a new day brings you back to life, to new breath, as if it renews your awareness and perception of things, giving you the opportunity to take a fresh look at your surroundings]” () .
The dream was a source of revelations for the prophets and messengers of God (see, for example, the Holy Koran,). And after the completion of the mission of the last Prophet, it became a source of inspiration, sometimes something through which warning or intimidation could come. Sleep is also a state when Divine punishment was unexpectedly brought down (see Holy Quran, and).
What did the prophet Muhammad say about dreams?
Scientists commented:“The phrase “good dream” perhaps means the joy of the dream itself, and perhaps the goodness of the interpretation, the explanation that will be given to it. The word “man,” or “man,” according to the text of the hadith, means both men and women.” All Muslim scholars agree on this.
Who can have a prophetic, supposedly true dream?
“Those believers who are most truthful in their words will have the most truthful dreams.” Penetrating into the heart, consciousness and soul of a devout, religiously practicing person is most difficult for Satan, so the likelihood of seeing a prophetic dream among the very truthful of them is high. At the same time, the truthfulness of dreams for this kind of people is not unambiguous, but only supposedly carries the Divine principle. For obvious sinners, people far from God and religious practice, or even non-believers, the likelihood of a truthful dream is minimal, but, as theologians said, it is not excluded.
Which dream is clearly true?
“Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me. Truly, Satan cannot take my form,” was said through the lips of the Prophet Muhammad. Some scholars believed that “the hadith can be taken literally and nothing prevents this.” Imam al-Ghazali gave a different explanation to the words “he truly saw me”: “These words should not be understood as “he saw my body,” but should be understood as “he saw my image,” through which truthful information is given to a sleeping person. If a person sees the image of the Prophet Muhammad, this does not mean that he has seen the Prophet himself, his soul. He saw the image and likeness of the Prophet, which can only be from God and definitely not from Satan.
Dreams and the End of the World
“Closer to the End of the World, the dreams of believers will be more and more truthful.”
At what time of day is it most likely to have a prophetic dream?
“The most truthful dreams are during dawn (at dawn).” Ja'far al-Sadiq said: “A dream seen between the second and third prayers (afternoon nap) is the easiest to interpret.” ‘Ali ibn Abu Talib said: “There is no difference between sleeping during the day and sleeping at night. The opportunity to see a true dream during these periods of the day is the same. There is also no difference between the dreams of men and the dreams of women."
How to perceive, how to determine the quality of sleep?
Prophet Muhammad said: “A good dream comes from God. A bad dream is from the Devil. If a person sees in a dream something he likes [desired, good, pleasant for him], then let him thank Allah (God, Lord) and not tell anyone about it except those whom he loves (respects). And if he sees something unpleasant for him (causing disgust) [blamed, unwanted, frightening, disturbing], then let him spit three times over his left shoulder and say: “A’uzu bill-lyahi minash-shaytooni rrajiimi wa min sharrikh” (I am looking for refuge with God from Satan and his evil). Let him lie on his other side and [later] not tell anyone. There will be no harm to him from this dream." Having heard the hadith, Abu Salama said: “Previously, some dreams were heavier than mountains for me, but now I do not pay any attention to them.”
Muhammad ibn Sirin said: “Dreams are of three types: (1) speech of the soul (that is, a person’s impressions, the result of his thoughts, experiences); (2) intimidating Satan and bringing sadness and sorrow to him (when bad or terrible dream he tries to intimidate a person, to bring into the soul a feeling of despair, confusion, sadness); (3) a prophetic dream, which is good news from the Lord." Also, a prophetic dream can be a Divine warning, a warning for a person to mobilize and show greater care and vigilance.
Some interpretations of dreams from the Prophet Muhammad
- “If the Devil plays with any of you while he is sleeping [that is, if, upon waking up, a person remembers that he saw stupid, strange or scary dreams], then let [having awakened, throw what he saw out of his head, ignore it, forget about it and] not tell anyone!” The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of the Creator) said these words to a Bedouin who came to him and told him that in a dream he saw how he lost his head and followed his severed head. Hearing this dream, the Prophet laughed;
— The Prophet once shared with his companions: “Like anyone sleeping, I had a dream that we gathered with you in the house of ‘Utbah and they brought us good dates. I interpreted this as a harbinger of significant good (superiority) for us in this worldly life and in eternal life, and our religion has completeness (completeness) [by practicing it, we feel the sweetness of faith]”;
“A certain woman saw in a dream how a spring gushed from one of the Prophet’s companions, who had died shortly before. She asked the Messenger of the Almighty, and he replied: “These are his deeds (which will benefit him even after death) [will be credited to his personal account in eternity until they cease to be useful to other people]”;
— The Prophet was once asked about Waraq, a relative of Khadija. Khadija said: “[Do you remember] he confirmed the truth of your prophetic mission?! He died before the news of you as a Prophet spread.” Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of the Creator) said: “He (Waraka) was shown to me in a dream. It was wearing white clothes. If he were one of the inhabitants of Hell, then he would be wearing different clothes."
You need to be more careful about how to interpret a dream. The Prophet Muhammad warned: “The dream of a believer is one forty-sixth of a prophecy. And this dream is in an indefinite (suspended) state [between heaven and earth] until they start talking about it [until it is interpreted, until they give it a definite meaning linked to reality]. When they speak, then it will fall [to the ground in the form that will be given to it, which will launch the mechanism of its implementation with Divine blessing].” One of the narrations adds: “Do not tell [dreams] except to someone who is smart and wise, so that they can correctly interpret [only and only V better side ]» .
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) also said: “Truly, a dream is realized the way you interpret it. It is similar to when a person raises his leg and waits [time] before lowering it [that is, he pauses for a while, paying attention to what he is stepping on]. If any of you sees a dream [prophetic, bright, clear, memorable], then let him not tell it to anyone except someone who knows how to instruct [a person who can give wise advice] or a knowledgeable one ('alim) [who has religious knowledge and I am well aware that in Islam dreams, even alarming and terrible ones, must “sink to the ground,” that is, be interpreted only and only for the better]» .
The hadiths also mention the significant sinfulness of lying when retelling dreams, when a person tells as a dream what he actually did not see.
For prophets and messengers, sleep was the source of one forty-sixth of their revelations. For the average believer, sleep is more of a rest than a source of information about future events. Almost everything that a person sees in a dream throughout his life is the result of his thoughts, experiences, impressions or satanic whispers and intimidation. What is from God is not like a confusion of events: when we wake up, what we see will be before us like the sun on a cloudless day.
Theological scholars have repeatedly emphasized that excessive attention to sleep and dreams indicates the weakness of a person’s faith and the desire to escape from the reality of this life.
Answers to questions about sleep
Is it possible to interpret dreams?
Canonically, this is permissible and permissible (mashroo').
How are dreams interpreted?
What I personally emphasized for myself when analyzing theological materials on this subject can be formulated as follows: unified system there is no interpretation of dreams. There are criteria in determining whether a dream is from the Creator, from Satan, or the result of everyday worries and anxieties. If the dream is supposedly caused by the last two reasons, you do not need to pay any attention to it, you should immediately forget about it. If it’s the first, you should pay attention and learn something useful for life. The best interpreter in this case will be the one who sees it himself, since it is most likely that Divine edification is given to him in the language of his associations and images (both positive and negative), life rules, principles and taking into account the circumstances and time in which he lives. If a person cannot find the key to the solution, then he can turn to pious, literate people.
If someone saw in prophetic dream the Prophet Muhammad himself, how can this be interpreted?
If a person saw the Prophet Muhammad (may the Almighty bless him and greet him) in a dream, we can unequivocally say that this dream is true. We know from the authentic hadiths given earlier that Satan cannot take the form of the Prophet Muhammad. “How can a person determine who exactly he saw?” - you ask. If a believer sees the last messenger of the Lord in a dream, then he will have no doubt that he saw him. When he wakes up, he will be sure of this without a single doubt.
Many theologians said: “If a person saw the Prophet Muhammad in health and joyful, then this speaks of the strong faith and piety of the person who saw it, that everything is fine with him. And when - stern, angry or ill, with some shortcomings, then this indicates the weakness of faith of the person who saw such a dream, the presence of serious shortcomings in its essence. The image of the Prophet in a dream is like a mirror full of light. The sleeper sees in it the true state of affairs of his essence, his own shortcomings, errors.”
Also, some reliable hadiths add: “...and this person will see me in reality,” that is, the one who sees the Prophet in a dream will be one of his followers on the Day of Judgment, as theologians commented. The rivayat says: “...he will see me as if it were real,” that is, clearly, believably.
I have very vivid and varied dreams that largely absorb my consciousness and do not let go throughout the day. In my last dream I saw the mother of the prophet ‘Isa (Jesus). She came up to me, extended her hands and said: “Repeat after me,” and I said the Shahada (testimony of Monotheism) with her.
Dreaming is good, but keep in mind that sometimes people live dreams in reality, perhaps because of some troubles or seemingly insurmountable difficulties that they do not try (fearing or doubting) to finally solve or resolve. I don’t advise you to focus on dreams. Dreams remain just dreams. If there is any benefit from them from the point of view of Muslim values, then it is help in difficult times and an impulse to action. Let them inspire you to realize new earthly victories, inspire you to self-discipline, work and hard work. You are obliged to live in reality, to be involved in the life process of intellectual, physical and spiritual daily development, which would help you maintain good shape and would fill you with energy to realize your life goals and objectives. I hope you have them.
When waking life begins to dominate in your brain, when you begin to see the fruits of your efforts and efforts, rejoice in them and thank the Almighty, then, I believe, the world of your dreams will be transformed.
I have nightmares at night. I see terrible pictures, as if I was dying in difficult conditions, with people close to me, my family, nearby. I’m trying to wake up and get away from this horror, but as soon as I open my eyes, my whole body is shaking, I’m in a cold sweat. This has a very strong effect on my psyche. Sometimes I get tired both mentally and physically from this. What to do when things like this happen? Why is this? Magomed.
You should stop watching TV and going on the Internet, that is, viewing everything that clogs your brain and frightens it. I believe that a lot of garbage, terrible associations and images have accumulated in your head, and therefore you cannot clear it all out so easily and quickly. Try to find the book “Change Your Brain, Change Your Body” by Daniel J. Amen! and subtract from it at least 5 recommendations related to your question. Then follow them strictly for at least 6 months. This should apply to your diet, your mobility, and your lifestyle in general.
Start practicing the recommendations from the following hadith. Prophet Muhammad said: “A good dream comes from God. A bad dream is from the Devil. If a person sees in a dream something he likes [desired, good, pleasant for him], then let him thank Allah (God, Lord) and not tell anyone about it except those whom he loves (respects). And if he sees something unpleasant for him (causing disgust) [blamed, unwanted, frightening, disturbing], then let him spit three times over his left shoulder and say: “A’uzu bill-lyahi minash-shaytooni rrajiimi wa min sharrikh” (I am looking for refuge with God from Satan and his evil). Let him lie on his other side and [later] not tell anyone. There will be no harm to him from this dream."
I also recommend donating blood for the most detailed analysis of its condition and the presence of necessary substances and elements in it. In my practice of communicating with people, there was a case when a person suffered from nightmares for several years, waking up in the middle of the night in sweat. Where has he not been examined? But only after getting to one of the foreign clinics and taking a detailed blood test, he learned that one of the organs does not secrete sufficient quantity a substance vital for the body. He started taking it in supplement form and it went away.
It was no longer dawn or dawn, but the rising of the sun itself, during which prayer-namaz is not performed.
Scientists commented: “Taking the soul (ruh) from a sleeping person is a partial cessation of its connection with the body. Taking the soul from a dying person means a complete cessation of the connection between the soul and the body. See: al-‘Aini B. ‘Umda al-qari sharh sahih al-bukhari. In 20 volumes, 1972. T. 4. pp. 244, 245.

“Most of us need 7-8 hours of sleep (per day. - Sh. A.). During sleep, the brain is restored. Sleep gives the brain a chance to troubleshoot and do housekeeping—replenish proteins and strengthen synapses. To do this, the brain must turn off so that the neurons do not “get underfoot.” The lower brain temperature and slower metabolic rate that accompany deep sleep help enzymes repair and restore cells more successfully.<…>Having lost sleep one night, some people do not feel much discomfort. But after one or two weeks of sleep deprivation, everyone suffers because the effects are cumulative. One week of insufficient sleep is equivalent to 24 hours of continuous wakefulness. Two weeks - 48 hours." See: Eckerman J. Short story human body. 24 hours from the life of the body. St. Petersburg: Amphora, 2008. P. 265, 266, 272.
“A properly dosed afternoon nap helps improve mood and increase activity. The latest research says that 15-20 minutes between 13.00 and 14.30 is enough to banish fatigue, increase productivity and recharge your batteries. A longer nap, such as three-quarters of an hour or an hour, may require another twenty minutes to shake off the sleep inertia. A short afternoon nap is a natural response to the biological need for rest. The human body is programmed for siesta.” See: Eckerman J. A Brief History of the Human Body. 24 hours from the life of the body. pp. 135-137.
Also see, for example: Holy Quran, 78:9-11.
It is prophecy that is mentioned in all hadiths on this topic. The prophets were informed about the hidden, hidden, unknown, awaiting people in the future (al-ghayb), but they were not the ones through whom Divine instructions were given. Canons individual peoples or to humanity as a whole were transmitted through envoys God's.
It is the veil of the unknown (al-ghayb) that can be slightly opened for the righteous and people close to God through sleep.

Some scientists stipulated the following criterion: “A thought, idea, dream that is from God is stable and clear. The same thing that comes from Satan is unstable, accompanied by confusion and incoherence of images.”
Here “spit” means air, not saliva. This action symbolizes a disdainful attitude towards the machinations of the Devil and the removal of satanic filth (influence) from oneself. See: Nuzha al-muttakyn. Sharh Riyadh al-Salihin. T. 1. P. 573, hadiths No. 4/841, 5/842 and explanations to them.
One of the hadiths adds: “...let him stand up and pray,” that is, perform two rak’ahs of additional prayer-namaz.

Muslim dream book helps to touch inner world Muslims, to plunge into the peculiarities of their lives, to understand them spiritual world and values. The interpretation of this dream book is based on the works of ancient Persian sages, Islamic encyclopedia“The Body of Knowledge”, the book “Luminaries of Various Sciences”, some individual works and, most importantly, the wisdom of the Koran.
Features of the dream book for Muslims
The Muslim dream book is the most complete; it is one of the most popular books of Islamists. Thus, since ancient times, in Arab countries there has been a special respect for dreams. Not everyone could become an interpreter; this required relevant experience and wisdom, which helped to establish a person among Islamists. It was also believed that a person could interpret dreams only with the blessing of Allah.
Several features characteristic of the Muslim dream book can be identified:

Varieties of dreams according to the Muslim dream book

- good, which are perceived as part of the prophecy and good news from Allah;
- bad dreams from the Muslim analogue of the devil - Shaitan, filling with a feeling of fear, horror and capable of leading astray from the righteous path to committing sinful acts;
- dreams associated with a person’s thoughts and his life, which reflect everything that a person experiences in reality.
After have a good dream It is imperative to pray to Allah with gratitude. Such a dream can be told to one of those people whom the dreamer wishes well. After a bad dream that causes negative thoughts and feelings, you need to ask Allah for protection, pray three times, do not try to interpret such a dream and do not tell anyone about it.
In order for the dream to be correctly interpreted, it is important to follow the following necessary rules.
- From everything you saw, highlight the most important symbol to indicate the main message of what you saw. Is this good news or bad news? It refers to real life or afterlife?
- Sift the vision as if through a sieve, discarding everything unnecessary and leaving only the important points.
- Of all the symbols, select the most important one, which should be given the most appropriate interpretation.

The main feature of this interpreter is the fact that the symbols are considered in it according to the Koran and Sunnah - the main books of the Muslim faith. Many interpretations are straightforward in nature - the images are assigned the meanings with which they are usually associated in life. For example, the eagle is interpreted as a symbol of the dreamer’s power and strength, and the hare – cowardice. At the same time, in interpretations one can find many descriptions of the values and traditions of the Muslim people.
In Islam they believe that people almost always come to true Muslim believers. There is no need to interpret them. But for people who have not yet reached this level, interpreters were written.
History of writing
Currently, many people professing other religions do not turn to the Muslim Dream Book to reveal the meaning of their dreams - they believe that this source does not suit them. However, this is a big misconception.

A dream, as part of a prophecy, is of great importance for a Muslim. About, good dream or bad, whether it will come true or not, the Muslim dream book on the Koran and Sunnah will tell you. It can be useful and interesting for representatives of other faiths.
From the point of view of science, dreams are nothing more than a reflection of everything that a person experiences in life. Everyday life: his actions, thoughts, plans, dreams, feelings and emotions. Some believe that the images that appear in a person’s mind during his sleep are inspired by a certain higher power, in particular, by God. They can transport not only to the past, but also to the future, as well as to other realities. Dream images cannot always be taken literally. They need correct interpretation. People who profess the Islamic religion can benefit from a Muslim dream book on the Koran and Sunnah.
Dream in Islamic religion
Sleep and dreams are given great importance in the Islamic religion. What true Muslims see when they fall asleep they consider “observations of the soul.” The great Allah Himself sends down signs to them. Some of them are obvious; you don't need to make an effort to understand what they mean. Others consist of a collection of seemingly unrelated images. The meaning of such dreams is clear only to selected interpreters.
It is impossible to become an interpreter by learning from books. The ability to unravel “visions of the soul” is bestowed by Allah. To receive such a gift, you must be God-fearing and live according to the Koran, not sin and protect others from the sins. These people are either prophets or saints. And you can only turn to them for the interpretation of dreams.
Therefore, the Muslim dream book interpretation of the Koran and Sunnah is a guide rather for curious people. It is a generalization of knowledge about sleep and dreams in the Islamic religion, a kind of collection of the most reliable interpretations. Thanks to him, a person gets an idea not only of those visual, sound and tactile images that appeared to him after falling asleep, but also of Islamic culture and religion.
What does a dream mean according to the Muslim dream book?
According to Muslim Holy Scripture, dreams can appear to a person from Allah (God), Shaitan (the devil) or be born from one’s own subconscious. Accordingly, they come in three types:
Both men and women can have prophetic dreams. This can happen both at night and during the day. But those who dreamed closer to the morning and morning prayer are most likely to come true.
What to do to make the dream come true?
So why do the Koran and Sunnah call for sharing all the good things you dreamed about and keeping all the bad things to yourself? The fact is that the Prophet Muhammad himself said that a prophecy that appears to a sleeping person will materialize only if it is made public.
The Islamic religion also warns its followers to pay special attention to dreams and try to interpret all the images that arise in dreams. You should also protect yourself from television and online commentators who, for the most part, they are telling lies.
The difference between the Muslim dream book and other existing ones
The science of dream interpretation, oniromancy, is more popular than ever. In bookstores and the Internet you can find a huge number of dream books offering interpretations a huge number images that a person can dream about. It is very difficult to verify their reliability in any other way than through personal experience.
The Muslim dream book on the Koran and Sunnah is fundamentally different from all others:
- Decoding dreams is based on what is said about the images that appear in them in the Koran and Sunnah themselves.
- It is known that the Prophet Muhammad himself interpreted dreams; the dream book indicates that it was he who saw in one or another image that appeared at night.
- The interpretation takes place close to the nature of man and the world around him; it is not ambiguous or confusing.
- Usually, phenomena seen at night are distributed alphabetically in dream books. The Muslim dream book has a special structure: the order of the images depends on their significance from the point of view of the Islamic religion.
- Images interpreted positively or negatively by other dream books can have diametrically opposite meanings in Muslim ones.
- The dream book allows you to form a clear idea of the lifestyle and worldview of a Muslim.
Three illustrative examples of deciphering images from dreams according to the Koran and Sunnah
God, saints, prophets
A person who sees Allah himself in a dream can be sure that his dream is true and good. After all, Satan will never be able to take his form. A meeting with the Almighty means that a Muslim lives according to the rules and performs righteous, godly deeds. Allah accepts these benefits and is ready to reward them. A Muslim can be sure that on the Day of Judgment he will have a place in heaven.
If a person dreamed of the Prophet Muhammad or one of the saints, it matters exactly what they looked like. If their faces expressed satisfaction, and they themselves were beautiful and elegant, the Muslim would expect deliverance from sorrows and adversity, victory over enemies, or some other good event. If the saints and prophets appeared darkened and pale, it means that one should prepare for something bad.
Angels
These creatures don't always turn out well. For example, fighting one of the angels means imminent death. If they gather together in any village or city, someone there will soon die. But if one of the angels dreamed of good location spirit, cheerful and contented, a person will experience success in worldly affairs and insight in religious matters.
Death
See in a dream own death, according to Muslim dream book, means to free yourself, to return home after long wanderings. Despite the fact that the Muslim dream book is intended primarily for those who profess Islam, it can be interesting and useful for representatives of other faiths.
