“When Allah showed them to you in your dream as few; and if He had shown them to you as many, you [believers] would have lost courage and would have disputed in the matter [of whether to fight], but Allah saved [you from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.” (Al-Anfal 8: 43) “It was related that Abi Sa’id Al Khudari said that the prophet (ppuh) said: ‘If any one of you sees a dream that he […]

Dreams as defined by Webster’s Dictionary: “A Dream is a series of thoughts, images or emotions occurring during sleep.” (Webster’s International Dictionary page 688) A wise person once explained the importance of dreams saying: “Dreams are the perfect way to hear from God. When you are dreaming, you are quiet, so you can’t ignore Him. Plus, you are not easily distracted.” Dreams are the chosen way in which God uses to show His will and purpose. If we dream every […]

1- Weigh the dream. Who is speaking? What is the message? Does the dream reinforce God’s Word? Does the dream strengthen your faith in God? Does the dream increase and build your faith in God? 2- Pray. Pray that God will show you the source of the dream and what He intends to teach you through it. 3- Listen to God. Take a moment to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. 4- Seek Godly counsel. Sharing dreams is normal, […]

The vision of Isa (His peace be upon us) in a dream is a vision of truth. Ibn Sirin tells us that the one who saw Isa (His peace be upon us) among the men in general is a man of good and benefit, and he is blessed and travels and moves a lot to do good and benefit others. For a single girl, the vision of Jesus (His peace be upon us) means that she will do good and […]

The Qur’an says, “For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words of Allah. That is what is the great attainment.” (Yunus 10: 64) Many of the Mufasryn (Qur’an Commentators) said that the good tidings in the worldly life are dreams and visions. For example, In Kathir in his commentary said, “For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. He said: ‘The good vision […]

Is the vision of Allah Almighty true in dreams? In a Hadith Qudsy we read, “Narrated by Ibn Abbas from the Prophet that he said: ‘Tonight, my Lord, may God be blessed and exalted appeared to me in the best image …’” (Narrated by Imam Ahmad (16026) and Tirmidhi (3159). Al-Hafez said that the people of the scholars said that it is possible to see the Almighty in a dream, and His vision needed interpretation always. Al-Ghazali said, such as […]

There are many hadiths about dreams as well as the well-known story of the Prophet Yusuf in the Qur’an. “A good dream (that comes true) of a righteous man is one of forty-six parts of prophethood.” (Sahih al-Bukhari), another Hadith says, “A true good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan.” (Bukhari). There are 3 kinds of dreams in Islam: “Dreams are of three types: a dream from Allah, a dream which causes distress and which […]

Many people say that dreams are from Allah. Others say that dreams are from Satan. On the other hand, some say that visions are from Allah and dreams from Satan. Is that true? “Dreams are of three types: a dream from Allah, a dream which causes distress and which comes from the Satan, and a dream which comes from what a person thinks about when he is awake, and he sees it when he is asleep.” (Al-Bukhaari; Muslim). 1. Truthful […]

There are three sources of thoughts in our heads – ourselves, Allah and the enemy, so as dreams. Dreams from the enemy bring fear, are often dark, hopeless, and full of temptation; nightmares are obvious examples. Allah may show or tell you about negative things that are going to happen, but there has always been a message of hope within the dream. Allah never adds fear to your life; He always reduces it. You might see a dream that shows […]

Many Islamic scholars have said that it is impossible to receive a vision of God in this world while awake, based on the story of the prophet Moses. “And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, ‘My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.’ [Allah] said, ‘You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me.’ But when […]

The Bible tells us, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions” (Joel 2:28). Allah Uses dreams to search our hearts and help others: sometimes our dreams challenge us about things in our heart that we leave unattended. Allah uses dreams to open our ears: We are not always open to […]

Seeing Al-Masih (His peace be upon us) in a dream is a sign of good news of redemption from worries, ills, and diseases. If a person sees in his dream the birth of Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us), then, with God’s permission, he preaches good news or a happy event. As for the one who sees Christ (His peace be upon us) with His twelve disciples, he is blessed with good companionship or fellowship, and this is also […]

In the book Perfuming the Sleep in the Expression of a Dream, Nabulsi said, “Whoever is a Muslim and sees that he has the Book of the Injil will be devoted to worship and asceticism, and perhaps the Injil denotes isolation. If the seer has influence or strength, then his/her vision or dream expresses oppression of enemies or the prevention of grievances.” Seeing the Injil symbolizes fulfilling a human message or responsibility. These tasks may be arduous because the Injil […]

Dreams offer valuable insights. Here are a few examples of dreams mentioned in the Quran and their interpretations.
