Fighting in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

between the sun and moon is indicative of war and that kings will prevail. If he sees that happening during the day then the sun is going to prevail and the people of truth will prevail; but if he sees it happening at night then the moon is going to prevail and the people of falsehood are going to prevail, because the moon is connected to darkness. It was narrated that ‘Umar (May Allah be please with him) sent a Qaadi to Syria, but he came back before reaching there. ‘Umar (Peace be upon him) asked him why he had come back and he said: I dreamt that the sun and moon were fighting. ‘Umar said to him: Whose side were you on? He said: The moon’s. ‘Umar said: Go, but you will never do any work for me. Then he recited: “And We have appointed the night and the day as two Ayât (signs etc.). Then, We have obliterated the sign of the night (with darkness) while We have made the sign of the day illuminating.” [Al-Isra’ 17:12] He thought that the moon was connected to darkness, so if a person indicates that he is siding with the moon, it means that he is connected to darkness. Then that man was killed at the battle of Siffeen, when he was fighting on the side of the people of Syria. The Crescent Moon If the crescent moon appears, it is indicative of good news, such as the arrival of an absent person from the direction from which it rose. If the dreamer’s wife is pregnant, he will be blessed with a boy, but if he sees it red, his wife will have a miscarriage. The crescent moon is also indicative of people who will come after him for their debts, because its rising is a sign that debts are due and debtors will pay off their debts. It is also indicative of healing the sick, because the sick person has been under the domination of the sun but now he is free from that. If he sees the crescent on his own even though everyone is looking for it, then he will die, because he was the only one to see a heavenly body, and that is indicative of the Angel of Death. The appearance of crescents and moons is indicative of the emergence of rebels, but if the people benefit from their light, there will be a time of ease and abundant blessings. If he sees crescents together, he will do Hajj, because Allah says: “They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage.” [Al-Baqarah 2:189] Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: The appearance of the crescent moon is indicative of a rebel figure. If he dreams that it appears at night, then the rebel will prevail, because the moon is connected to night. But if he dreams that it rises during the day, then the king will prevail, because the moon and stars are suppressed during the day by the light of the sun. A king dreamt that he was distributing crescents to the people. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: You will march and will distribute bows among the troops. Another man dreamt that he was drinking honey from the crescents, then one crescent flew and landed on his head. He said: You are a veterinarian and make your living from that; an animal struck you with its hoof on your head. He said: You are right. A hoof resembles the crescent and honey indicates provision.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
