Chamberlain in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

The chamberlain is a secretary and keeper of secrets, and is in chargeof taking care of the household and whatever is required for maintenanceand other expenses. One of the dream interpreters said: Seeing the king’schamberlain standing is indicative of a serious approach to managingaffairs. Seeing him sitting is indicative of slowing down. Commander The commander is a known man who is in charge of the king’swar and the man who knows how to do tactical planning. One of themsaid: If a person dreams that he became a commander, he will attainsomething good. Chief of Police He is indicative of the Angel of punishment, or it was said that herepresents worry and distress. Soldiers Soldiers are indicative of the angels of mercy. Judge The judge carries the banner of Sharee’ah and gives each personhis rightful due; he enjoins what is good and forbids what is evil. If a person dreams that he is appointed as a judge and acts justly, and he isqualified for that, he will be appointed to a suitable position and he maybe appointed as a judge. If he dreams that he is sitting in a court and he is engaged in a dispute,he will prevail over his opponent. If he dreams that judgement is passedagainst him and he is sick, he will die. If a man dreams that the ruler appoints him as a judge, he will die. If a sick person dreams that a judgement is passed in his favour, he willrecover. If the judge appears cheerful, that is a good sign. If he sees anunknown judge being unfair in his judgement, that indicates that thepeople at that location cheat in weights and measures. If the judgedreams that he is placed in the scales and he weighs heavily, then hisposition before Allah is good; if he is light in the scales, let him bewarelest he be unjust. If he dreams that he distributed money or faulty coins,he will be unjust in his rulings and will accept false testimony. Thesame applies if his smell is bad or if he was seen feeding dead animalsto people or wearing a bad garment. Delivering Khutbahs and Leading Prayers These actions are indicative of high position. If a person dreamsthat he becomes a Khateeb or imam, he will be appointed to a positionof authority that befits him. If he is qualified to become a king, he willdo so; if he is qualified to lead prayers or deliver khutbahs, he will beappointed to these positions. A man dreamt that he was dismissed from a Minbar better than theone he had. He said: Did you propose marriage to a poor woman, but itdid not go through, then you proposed marriage to a rich woman? Hesaid: Yes. He said: Where was the Minbar? He said: Somewhere otherthan the Jaami’ mosque. He said: Her father’s profession is either acarpenter or a servant. He said: All of that. The evidence here is that ifthe Minbar was in the Jaami’ mosque, we would say that she was thedaughter of a scholar of high status. Because it was somewhere other than that, we know that her father has something to do with servingpeople or working with wood. A Khateeb dreamt that his Minbar became iron. He said: You willnot be reappointed. And that is what happened. Treasurer The treasurer represents a man who causes trouble and harms peopleand is harsh with them when bringing them to account. The evidencefor that is the Verse in which Allah says: “We called it to a severe account.” [Al-Talaaq 65:8] Gatekeeper The gatekeeper represents one who is trustworthy. If a person dreamsthat he becomes the gatekeeper of the ruler, he will attain a position ofauthority that befits him. Drummer A drummer is indicative of a ruler who is unaware, shouts a lot, isterrible and is preoccupied with worldly gains. Trumpeter A man who discloses information and spreads news. If a persondreams that he hears the sound of a trumpet, he will be summoned towar or to a dispute. Mailman A man who betrays the one who trusts him. If the one who bringsnews is an old man, then he is one of the noble scribes (recordingangels); if he is a young man, then he is a fighting man. Standard Carrier The standard carrier represents a judge. Corporal The corporal represents an innovator. Aides If they are wearing white garments, they are indicative of good news;if they are wearing black garments, they are indicative of sickness andgrief. Jailer The jailer is indicative of gravediggers who treat people equally. Deputy The deputy indicates a man who is earning sins for himself. Steward The steward is a man who is in charge of treasure and knows whathe is doing, because the Prophet Yoosuf (May Allah be please with him) was a steward for the kingal-‘Azeez. Groom The groom who looks after horses represents a man in a position ofleadership who is wise and a capable manager. Crafts and professions Now let us go back to discussion of crafts and professions. It isessential to establish a basic principle, which is that everyone who doessomething higher than his position will attain a higher status and riches,such as if a Faqeeh dreams that he is teaching or delivering a Khutbahor leading people in prayer or passing judgement; or if a person whowrites badly dreams that he is writing beautifully or that he is writingfor a leader after he used to write in the streets and so on. If he seeshimself doing something lower than his usual work, that is indicativeof poverty, trouble, lowering of status and moving from one situation toanother that is lower. Perfume seller The perfume seller is indicative of the judge. The interpretationdepends on whether he sells beneficial or harmful medicines. If a persondreams that he became a perfume seller, he will be appointed to a positionthat befits him and his livelihood will increase, if he sells beneficialdrugs and fine perfume. If he sells poisons and harmful medicines, if weinterpret the dream as signifying that he will be appointed to a positionof authority, then he will be a man of bad conduct; if we interpret it asreferring to his livelihood, then it will be bad. Doctor, Oculist, Surgeon, and Bone Setter These indicate the same as the perfume seller, because each one ofthem benefits people, takes from their wealth and has power over them. If a person dreams that he becomes one of them, he will be appointed toa position that will befit him, or his livelihood will improve and he willhave a time of ease. That applies if their conduct is good, such as if theydistribute beneficial medicine, or if the oculist uses good kohl to treatthe eyes, or the surgeon or bone setter provides good treatment. If weinterpret it as referring to appointment to a position of authority, thenhis conduct will be good; if we interpret it as referring to his livelihood,it will increase. A man dreamt that he became a doctor and that he distributed poisonand the people were taking it. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him:You are a snake charmer; you collect snakes and make a living fromthem. Another man dreamt that and Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said tohim: Was the poison liquid? He said: Yes, as if it was olive oil. Hesaid: The people to whom you gave the poison, did you know them? He said: No, but they looked bad. He said: You are a king and you willsend water against your enemies and drown them. And he said: I knewa group and I sent water against those whom I did not capture and theydrowned. He said: The evidence for that is that the flow of poison in thebody is like the flow of water in plants. Another man said: I dreamt that I became an oculist and every time Icame near an eye I applied kohl to it and I liked it and kissed it. He said:You love eating raw eggs and you will get colic from that. And that iswhat happened.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
