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 benefit others and follow the good way. As for a woman who is pregnant, she will give birth to a male child who is wise and has power and authority in good. As for the married woman and other women, it may indicate pregnancy for those of the age of gestation, and reproduction, and indicates the happiness and satisfaction of other women.

Other commentators say that seeing Isa (His peace be upon us) in a dream for a male or a female is a blessing from God or a demonstration of care from Him to someone in great distress. His descent (His peace be upon us) in a dream in a specific place, indicates the appearance of justice in that place, the outpouring of blessings, the loss of the unbelievers, and the victory of believers.

We can say that the dream of Isa (His peace be upon us) is more than that; He has come to save many. His vision in dreams brings peace to the soul to humanity in general. His vision gives reassurance to the soul that is far from God. His visions cast fear out. His vision is a declaration of salvation.

The Qur’an says that He has made great miracles that no one else has done. He commands the dead, and they return to life. He gives back to the blind his eyesight. He touches the skin of the leper and heals it. He forms clay into the shape of a bird, breathes it into, and it becomes a living bird. He knows the unseen. He requested dining tables from heaven for the Apostles. He was lifted to heaven, having triumphed over death by resurrecting from the dead.

The Qur’an also says that He is blessed wherever He is, a mercy to the worlds, “Zaki” pure from all sin and fault, the Word of God and Spirit from Him, and (Wajeh) exalted in this world by prophecy and good place and in the hereafter by intercession and higher degrees, and close to God Almighty.

All these references in the Qur’an agree with the facts about Jesus in the Bible, that Jesus (His peace be upon us) is an extraordinary person, “Jesus, because He will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21), “Immanuel (which means “God with us)” (Matthew 1:23), “So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35), and “a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2: 11).

The Gospel proclaims His ministry, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor” (Luke 4: 18-19).

  1. Salam! I had a dream of walking along a wide path with many other people, then prophet Isa peace be upon him joined me in my walk and told me that I need to follow him but through a narrower path. I woke up wondering why is prophet Isa telling me such a thing and why would other people nearby didn’t see or know him?

    1. Wa alaikum assalam, Ahmad. We thank you for sharing your dream with us. The description of your dream, aligns with something that Isa al-Masih (may His peace be upon us) explained: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Injil, Matthew 7:13-14). This represents the path that requires sacrifice, dedication, and choosing to follow Allah’s Word, even when it is hard or unpopular. It is a conscious decision to follow Isa al-Masih (may His peace be upon us) and trust in Allah’s plan, even when it means going against the current. Isa (may His peace be upon us) invited you personally, because He sees the sincerity of your heart and He promises His Light: “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (Injil, John 8:12). He wants you to trust His guidance and he will lead you to eternal life: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (Injil, John 14:6). I encourage you to learn more about Isa (may His peace be upon us) and accept His invitation. May Allah bless you.

  2. Salamalaykoom. I had a dream where the imam was telling me that prophet Isa is the gift of God and he is his spirit. I didn’t understand why he was insisting on me to focus on that matter then he told me that I need to follow whatever prophet Isa said in his book. I am a bit confused and can not understand what does this dream mean. Hope that you can clarify some of this confusion in your response.

    1. Wa alaikum al-salam, Sahib. We thank you for sharing your dream. The imam in your dream reminding you that Sayidna Isa (may His peace be upon us) is the gift of God and His Spirit, aligns with what the holy scriptures reveal. The Injil and the Qu’ran say that He is the Word of Allah (Al-Imran 3:45, Injil, John 1:1-4) and also His Mercy (Maryam 19:21, Injil- Luke 19:10, Matthew 9:13), pointing to the great gift Allah offered to humanity, as part of the divine plan: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (Injil, John 3:16). Also, telling you to follow what Isa (may His peace be upon us) said in His book, echoes these words: “…The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (Injil, John 6:63); “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Injil, Matthew 24:35). Your dream shows that Allah is inviting you to look more closely at Isa’s words (may His peace be upon us), His role in the divine plan and trust His guidance. I understand this can be confusing, but encourage you to meditate about this dream and study the Injil to learn more. If you need more clarification from specific aspects of the dream, please let us know. May Allah bless you abundantly.

  3. Alsalam Alaikom. How can I be sure that prophet Isa peace be upon him who appeared to me in a dream is content with me? Is there any guidance on how to receive Allah’s the almighty blessings?

    1. Wa alaikum al-salam, Suror. We thank you for sharing your question with us and allowing us to help you. Seeing Isa al-Masih (may His peace be upon us) in a dream, is already a sign of Allah’s mercy and means blessings, guidance, truth, peace and good news. His presence reveals that you are known by Him and He brings blessings and good news of salvation. He invites those who are looking for truth, to follow Him and His guidance that leads to eternal life: “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Injil, John 8:12). Allah is Most Merciful and He offered the greatest blessing of all, by sending His incarnated Word and Mercy to the world (Al-Imran 3:45, Injil, John 1:1-4 and Maryam 19:21, Injil- Luke 19:10, Matthew 9:13), that brings peace to the heart through reconciliation with Allah: “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Injil, Romans 5:1). I encourage you to pray and meditate about the dream you had and learn more about Isa (may His peace be upon us). And if you want more clarification please feel free to share your dream so we can help you to interpret it. May Allah bless you always.

  4. Assalamualaikum, last night in my dream, I saw that I was in the mosque, sitting on the carpet with other people. Then Prophet Isa, peace be upon him appears wearing a simple and pure white robe. He was standing before us, teaching. His voice was calm and clear. He spoke about the Kingdom of Allah, telling us to have clean hearts and to be good to one another. He said to watch for the signs of its coming, like when a tree shows its first green leaves in the spring, you know that a new life is near. I felt a deep happiness and peace I had never felt before. Can you help me understand the meaning of the dream?

    1. Wa alaikum assalam, Bashar. We thank you for telling us about your dream. Seeing yourself in a mosque, represents the searching for spiritual growth and connection with Allah. Seeing Isa Al-Masih (may His peace be upon us) is a sign of mercy, peace, guidance and truth, and see Him teaching at the mosque, represents His role as master and “Light” that guides all who seek the straight path: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Injil, John 8:12). His white clothes reflect His pure and righteous character (Injil, Matthew 17:2; Revelation 7:9-14). The words He spoke in the dream about the kingdom of Allah and how to prepare for His return, echo His teachings found in the Injil: “And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” (Injil, Matthew 24:4-7). He will return to the world with power, angels and glory to destroy evil and establish a kingdom of peace and harmony: “Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Injil, Matthew 24:30-31). His words to you meant to give you courage to trust and prepare yourself: “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!” (Injil, Matthew 24:32-33). He is calling you for repentance, to seek justice and purity and keep persevering and trusting His guidance: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Injil, John 14:6). Your heart was filled with hope and peace, representing a calling to seek more, to open your heart fully to His guidance and prepare for His return, as He promises to encourage you: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (Injil, John 14:27). I encourage you to spend time reading the Injil where these things are written and pray for wisdom and discernment. Please let us know if you need more clarification. May Allah bless you.
