Dreams have always held a special place in human culture, often viewed as windows into the subconscious mind, reflections of our fears and desires, or sometimes, divine messages. Among the countless dream experiences people have had throughout history, a recurring theme stands out: the appearance of a man in white. For many, encountering a man in white in their dreams often represents a deeply spiritual and transformative experience. In this article, we will explore the significance and meaning of dreams featuring the man in white in Muslim culture.

Among the countless dream experiences, the dream of a Man in White transcends religious and cultural boundaries. Dreams featuring the man in white often involve encounters with a gentle, compassionate, and radiant figure whose clothing is described as pure white.

Those who experience these dreams interpret them as messages or guidance from God. The man in white provides spiritual counsel, inspires individuals to embrace faith in Him, or offers comfort during challenging times.

Dreams of the Man in White bring spiritual healing and forgiveness opportunities. These dreams are a chance to seek repentance and solace in the presence of a divine figure who represents forgiveness and mercy.

For some, seeing the Man in White serves as a catalyst for increased religious devotion. The dream may encourage the dreamer to deepen their faith, pray and reflect, and strive for a closer connection with God.

The Man in White is seen as a symbol of protection and reassurance. Individuals who are going through difficult circumstances or facing challenges in their lives interpret this dream as a sign that they are not alone and that a higher power is watching over them.

Dreams featuring the Man in White, who represents Isa Al-Masih (His peace be upon us), are a remarkable aspect of the religious experiences. These dreams hold deep spiritual significance, offering guidance, forgiveness, and reassurance in times of need. While dreams are inherently personal, these encounters with the Man in White provide a unique and profound connection to Allah (SWT) for many. They are a testament to the power of faith.

  1. بارك الله فيكم أخ فادي و لكن أتمنى لو وجدت تفسيراً أيضاً لحبّات البرتقال التي ذكرتها لكم في بقية الرؤيا

    1. نشكرك يا نورس للتواصل مجدداً معنا. إن رؤية ثلاث شرائح دائرية الشكل في يدك تدل على الثمار الطازج الكامل لأن الشكل الدائري غالباً ما يرمز للكمال ليس كالأشكال النصف دائرية أو المثلثة التي تدل للنقص أو بالبحث عن الكمال. بل هي مستديرة وتقول بأنها كانت طازجة فهذا يدل على الثمار الجديدة التي ستظهر في حياتك وكما تعلم أن الثمر الجيد لا يمكن أن يكون إلا لذيذ ويظهر نضوجه بشكل واضح وهذا يدل على أن الأمور أو التغييرات التي ستحصل في حياتك ستكون جيدة لحياتك لأن سيدنا عيسى المسيح لا يعطينا إلا ما هو جيد وصالح لأنه قال “اَلسَّارِقُ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ وَلِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ.” (يوحنا 10: 10).أما بالنسبة للبرتقالة التي خرجت من معدتك فيمكننا تفسير ذلك بأن المعدة ترمز لباطن أو داخل الشخص وخروجها بشكل فاسد في يدك اليسرى تدل أن ما كنت تفكر به أو أفكارك الباطنية قد تكون غير صالحة ويجب أن تجددها وتغييرها للأفضل لكي تشعر بسلام وفرح بحياتك. وسيحدث هذا التغيير بمجرد قبولك دعوة سيدنا عيسى المسيح سلامه علينا من خلال اتباعه لأنه الوحيد القادر أن يوصلك لطريق الحق “قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أَنَا هُوَ الطَّرِيقُ وَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَيَاةُ. لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَأْتِي إِلَى الآبِ إِلاَّ بِي.” (يوحنا 14: 6).نحن سعداء جداً لتواصلك مرة آخرى معنا وبالتالي نحن بانتظار أي سؤال منك حول أي قصة أو نص من الإنجيل لكي نساعدك في تفسيره. بارك الله بك.

  2. Assalamualaikum last night in my dream Prophet Issa pbuh appeared to me in the dream standing in the sky wearing white robe and surrounded by light, then he sent a white dove and it came and stayed on my right shoulder. Please can you help me understand this dream and it’s meaning?

    1. Wa alaikum assalam, Rashdan. We thank you for sharing your dream. Seeing Isa al-Masih (may His peace be upon us) standing in the sky, wearing white with bright light, represents His purity and holy presence. White is associated with holiness and righteousness and your description aligns with some texts of the Injil about Him (Injil, Matthew 17:2; Revelation 1:14-16). The white dove represents the Holy Spirit. In the Injil, the Holy Spirit is often depicted descending like a dove, representing purity, peace, and the presence of Allah. “And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him.” (Injil, Matthew 3:16). When the dove sits on your right shoulder in the dream, that symbolizes a blessing bestowed upon you. Isa (may His peace be upon us) is showing you His kindness and covering you with mercy. His presence in an invitation to trust and follow Him also allowing the Holy Spirit to make the changes that are needed in your heart to bring you closer to Allah. May Allah bless you abundantly. Please don’t hesitate to write us if you have more questions.

  3. السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
    أرجو من حضرتكم الرد بجواب على هذه الرؤيا لأنني مررت بضائقة كبيرة قبلها ولا يمكن شرحها بسطور وجيزة ولكن رأيت في منامي
    أنني جاثيٌ على ركبتي أمام رجل يلبس عباءةً بيضاء (غلابية) كان جالسا على كرسي و بيده سبحة ولكن لا أذكر لون السبحة أكان أحمراً أم أخضر و لكن لم أرى ملامح وجهه و كنا في مسجد في مدينتي القديمة في حلب في حي الأشرفية و اسم الجامع (البدوي) وانا حالياً مقيم في المانيا.
    و بعدها خرجت من الجامع مترنحاً اسقط و اقوم مراراً و تكراراً حتى وقعت على ركبتي و فتحت يدي اليمنى و رأيت فيها ثلاثة شرائح برتقال مقطعة على شكل قرص الشمس و اثناء نظري الى هذه القطع أشعر بألم في معدتي فأستفرغ شريحة برتقال رابعة من معدتي و تخرج من فمي و امسكها بيدي اليسرى ولكن كان شكلها بالياً قديماً و غير مشابه لباقي الشرائح في يدي اليمنى و بعدها استيقظت من النوم.
    أرجو منكم الرد لأنني في محنة و ضائقة لا يعلم بها إلا الله و السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

    1. وعليك السلام يا نورس. نشكرك لمشاركة حلمك معنا. ندعو الله ان تكون أمورك بخير وقد قطعت ضيقتك بسلام. إن رؤية نفسك تجثو على ركبتيك فهي دلالة على الخشوع والطاعة والاحترام. أما الرجل ذو الغلابية البيضاء هو سيدنا عيسى المسيح سلامه علينا “وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُمْ، وَأَضَاءَ وَجْهُهُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَالنُّورِ” (متى ١٧: ٢). ورؤيته تدل على البركة والخير والسلام. ورؤية المسجد الذي يرمز للصلاة أو العبادة وهو بيت الله. تدل على حالة من الصراع والاستفسارات الروحية التي تمر بها كونك كنت تقوم وتقع لعدة مرات وهذا نتيجة لعدم الثبات بالايمان وهذا ما تشعر به. ونشجعك للثقة بسيدنا عيسى سلامه علينا. لانه لن يتركك وسيحميك ويثبت إيمانك في حال اتبعت تعاليمه المذكورة في الانجيل. لانه قال “قَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: أَنَا هُوَ الطَّرِيقُ وَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَيَاةُ. لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَأْتِي إِلَى الآبِ إِلاَّ بِي” (يوحنا ١٤: ٦). وبالتالي حلمك دعوة للتعرف على عيسى المسيح سلامه علينا واتباع تعاليمه. ونحن على ثقة أن عيسى سلامه علينا سيحل مشاكلك ويغير حياتك للافضل لأنه قال “اَلسَّارِقُ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ لِيَسْرِقَ وَيَذْبَحَ وَيُهْلِكَ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ حَيَاةٌ وَلِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ.” (يوحنا ١٠: ١٠) ونحن على استعداد لنساعدك في الإجابة عن أي سؤال لديك.وندعوا الله أن يزيل هذه الضيقة عنك ويفرج عن همومك. بارك الله بك.

  4. Salam, I had a dream last week where I was walking alone, and suddenly the sky opened and a man in white came down from the clouds. He was glowing with light, and I felt this strong sense of peace and power around him. There were angels behind him shining too. He looked at me and said: I’m the word of Allah, stay faithful, be ready I’m coming soon. Then I woke up. I’m not sure what it means, but I’d like help understanding it.

    1. Wa alaikum assalam, Munir. We thank you for sharing this dream with us. The scene you saw in the dream, is reminiscent of the Second Coming of Isa al-Masih (may His peace be upon us). He is pointed as the Just Judge coming soon to destroy evil and to establish the divine kingdom. It is written: “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.” (Injil, Revelation 1:7). His white clothes and glowing light, reflect purity, righteousness, authority and holiness (Injil, Matthew 17:2; Revelation 3:5; 19:8). The angels around Him also testify about His power and the heavenly support of His mission: “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). He is the Word of Allah (Ali-Imran 3:45; John 1:14). He is alerting you about His return and calling you to trust Him so you will be prepared: ” “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.” (Injil, Revelation 22:12). He wants to protect you and lead you to eternal life. I encourage you to study about Him and the signs of His coming and if you need assistance, we will be happy to study with you. May Allah bless you.

  5. My grandmother had been severely sick. Placed in hospice care. It wasn’t looking good. I had been extremely depressed by it. One night I fell asleep. In my dream,I was lying face down in the dirt between the side of an old apartment building and some bushes. I could hear children playing, wagons rolling and no one knew I was lying there. Someone appeared before me. I lifted my head to see a man with shoulder length hair in a white robe. He told me to follow him. I instantly got up and just followed. He took me through the apartment building and then every thing started turning to brown stone. I entered a room that had all my dead relatives and my grandmother was there. She told me she wanted to get better and to tell the doctors this. She stated laughing and that turned into a heart attack. I pulled her off the stone everyone was sitting on and tried CPR. Everyone just looked at me as I screamed for help. Two people entered the space to help and my body floated backwards away from my grandmother and back through the path I had walked to get there. Then I woke up. A week later my grandmother got better and that was over 4 years ago. She got extremely well and lived 4 additional years and died Feb. 21st 2025.

    1. Thank you, Jessica, for sharing your dream and trusting us to answer it. This dream reflects a deeply spiritual journey through sorrow, divine presence, and God’s mercy. Lying face down symbolizes deep grief and helplessness (Zabour, Psalm 44:25). Yet in that dark place, Sayidna Isa (His peace be upon us), Jesus, symbolized by the man in white (Injil, Revelation 1:13-15), appeared and called you to follow Him. This reflects Sayidna Isa’s (His peace be upon us) continual call in our darkest hours (Injil, John 14:1-3). As you followed, you were brought into a place where departed loved ones were gathered. This represents the reality of death, but the dead “know nothing” and “sleep” (Tawray, Ecclesiastes 9:5; Injil, John 11:11-14). Thus, the grandmother speaking symbolized her desire to live and God’s mercy, not her literal state. Her heart attack and your helplessness reveal human limitation; only God can give life (Zabour, Psalm 146:3-5). The two who entered symbolize angels, as God sends help when human strength fails (Zabour, Psalm 91:11). Your return journey represents leaving the mysteries of life and death in God’s hands. The subsequent real-life healing shows God’s mercy and answer to prayer, extending her life for His purposes. Her final passing after 4 years shows that though God may extend life, death remains an enemy until Sayidna Isa’s (His peace be upon us) return (Injil, 1 Corinthians 15:26). Yet, hope remains sure in the resurrection at the Second Coming, when “the dead in Christ shall rise first” (Injil, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Please accept our deepest condolences. Don’t hesitate to write back if you have any questions. May God bless you.

  6. AlSalam ALaikum. I saw a dream in which I was traveling with my cousins. A bright light shined and a man wearing white clothes appeared. He invited us to follow him and said that he is the way to heaven. How can I understand the dream and what does it mean to me and to others?

    1. Wa alaikum assalam, Rashed. We thank you for sharing the dream with us. Traveling with your cousins could point to a spiritual journey together, sharing or facing the same vision and perspective. The description of this man wearing white, aligns with the presence of Isa al-Masih (may His peace be upon us). White symbolizes purity, holiness, authority and justice: “and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.” (Injil, Matthew 17:2). His invitation to follow Him, mirrors His words also: “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). He is the Words of Allah, as mentioned in the Injil and the Qur’an and He wants to guide you to eternal life and success. I encourage you to accept His invitation. May Allah bless you.

  7. Assalam alaikum, I saw myself in the dream lost and there was a very strong storm. I couldn’t see anything. Then, light came from heaven, then Prophet Isa (pbuh) stood there wearing a bright white clothes. He pointed the way and I felt safe,then the storm went away and remained with Prophet Isa (pbuh). Please can you help me understand the dream?

    1. Wa alaikum al-salam, Maher. Thank you for sharing your dream, it is deeply meaningful and speaks to something spiritual at work in your life. Storms represent chaos, danger, and inner turmoil—a time when one feels overwhelmed or spiritually lost. The Zabour (Psalm 107:28–29) tells us that when people cry out to the Lord in their trouble, He calms the storm and brings peace. In your dream, being lost in the storm reflect such a season in your life. But then you saw Sayidna Isa (His peace be upon us), standing in the light and pointing the way, a beautiful image of divine guidance. Both the Injil and Islamic tradition describe Him as a righteous guide and a sign to all people (Surat Maryam 19:21). His white clothing symbolizes purity and divine approval (Injil, Revelation 1:13–14; Mark 9:3), and His act of pointing the way shows His role in leading people out of confusion into truth. That you felt peace and safety when you saw Him is deeply significant, it reflects the kind of peace He gives, as seen in the Injil, Matthew 14:32, when He calmed the storm and the wind ceased. This dream is a divine invitation to seek the One who brings peace, truth, and eternal life. Sayidna Isa (His peace be upon us) said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (Injil, John 14:6), and He offers salvation to all who come to Him in faith. Just as He guided you in the storm, He desires to guide your life and lead you into the presence of God. Will you follow the light that appeared to you? He is calling you not only in your dream but even now with love, mercy, and grace. May Allah bless you and guide you in His truth.

  8. Salams, I dreamed I was standing alone, with a crowd of people behind me—strangers I couldn’t see clearly. I looked up at a clear sky and began to pray. When I looked again, a man dressed in white appeared, descending from the sky, surrounded by bright light. He reached out his hand and looked into my eyes, and I felt an overwhelming sense of peace, knowing he cared for me. The people around me formed a circle, speaking words I couldn’t understand. Then I woke up, the feeling of peace still with me.

    1. Wa alaikum assalam, Sultan. We thank you for sharing your dream. The description of the man in white, descending from the sky in radiant light, align with the second coming of Isa Al-Masih (may His peace be upon us). He is full of authority and will return in glory and light with many angels with Him: 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). When He looked into your eyes and reached out His hand, the peace you felt was a sign of His deep care for you. The brightness surrounding Him reveals His divine majesty, for He is the light that shines in the darkness, guiding those who follow Him: “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). The circle of people speaking words beyond your understanding reflects how all nations and tongues will one day acknowledge His authority: “At the name of the Son, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge the truth.” (Injil, Philippians 2:10-11). This dream is a reminder of the promise that He will return in power, bringing justice and peace to the world. The lasting peace you felt is an invitation to trust in Him, to walk in His light, and to prepare for His return as He wants to lead you to eternal life: “I am the way, and 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 Him and if you need any assistance please let us know. We will be glad to study with you. May Allah bless you with wisdom.

  9. السلام عليكم رأيت في منامي رجل يلبس ثوب أبيض طلب مني أن أترك كل شيء وأتبعه لأنه وحده طريق النجاة والجنة. ما تغيير هذا الحلم وشكرا؟

    1. وعليك السلام يا مؤيد نشكرك لمشاركة حلمك معنا. إن ما رأيته في حلمك عن الرجل الذي كان مرتدياً ثوباً أبيض والذي يرمز هذا اللون إلى الطهارة والقداسة هو ما تم ذكره عن سيدنا عيسى المسيح (سلامه علينا) يمكنك قراءة ذلك في الانجيل “وَتَجَلَّى أَمَامَهُمْ، فَشَعَّ وَجْهُهُ كَالشَّمْسِ، وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَالنُّورِ” (متى 17: 2). ولقد ظهر لك ليخبرك بأنه الوحيد القادر أن يساعدك للوصول للجنة ولكن عليك أولاً اتباع طريقه وتعاليمه لأنه قال “أَنَا هُوَ الطَّرِيقُ وَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَيَاةُ. لَا يَأْتِي أَحَدٌ إِلَى الآبِ إِلّا بِي” (يوحنا 14: 6) لذلك نشجعك أن تبدأ بدراسة الانجبل لأنه سيساعدك في التعرف أكثر عن عيسى المسيح (سلامه علينا) وتعاليمه التي كان يجول بين الناس ويعلمهم عنها. وبالتالي من المؤكد أنك شعرت بالسلام والراحة لأن حضوره يجلب ذلك وهو قد وعد بأنه سياعد كل اللذين يتبعونه ويعطيهم السلام ” سَلاَمًا أَتْرُكُ لَكُمْ. سَلاَمِي أُعْطِيكُمْ. لَيْسَ كَمَا يُعْطِي الْعَالَمُ أُعْطِيكُمْ أَنَا. لاَ تَضْطَرِبْ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَلاَ تَرْهَبْ” (يوحنا 14: 27). لذا يمكنك التواصل معنا في حال كان لديك أي استفسار أو سؤال . بارك الله بك.

  10. Salam, I want to thank you for this article. Short and sweet. I had seen such dreams and I was filled with peace in the presence of the man in white, I believe in him and follow him. Thank you and may Allah bless you.

    1. Aleykum al-salam Salim. We are delighted with your comment and also to hear that you have decided to trust and follow the Man in White. Feel free to write to us if you have any questions or suggestions. May Allah fill your life with blessings.

    1. Thank you, Mufid, for writing and reading the articles on the website. We praise Allah (SWT) that these articles have been a blessing to you. May Allah bless you.
