Detailed book entry
The sun indicates a great man, such as a king, governor, father, master, son, husband or relative. It is also indicative of wealth, possessions, goodness, livelihood and gold. If a person believes that the sun is w ith him or on his head, or that it speaks to him, or he sees it in his house or dreams that he is carrying it but is not harmed by its light, something good will happen to him with regard to one of the people mentioned and his income will increase, especia lly if his profession is one that needs the sun, such as a fuller or farmer, and especially if he sees it in winter. If his wife is pregnant he will be blessed with a handsome boy. If he dreams that the sun burns him or harms him, he will have some problem s with one of the people mentioned. If he dreams that it burns the crops or the garden, or its light harms the people, this is indicative of injustice on the part of people in charge, as well as sickness and high prices. If he dreams that it rises above hi s head and not the rest of his body, he will achieve something important or will achieve remarkable worldly gains. If it rises over his feet and not the rest of his body, he will acquire a great deal of provision from agriculture. If he dreams that it rise s over his stomach from beneath his clothing without the people realizing it, he will get sick. If he dreams that he is hanging from the sun, he will gain power from a man of high status. If he dreams that he is walking alongside it, he will die. That is a lso the case if he dreams that it is setting and he follows it, because Allah says: “But We have made the sun its guide (i.e. after the sunrise, the shadow shrinks and vanishes at midnoon and then again appears in the afternoon with the decline of the sun, and had there been no sunlight, there would have been no shadow). Then We withdraw it to Us — a gradual concealed withdrawal.” [Al-Furqaan 25:45-46] If he sees it hanging from a chain, he will attain the position of governor. If he sees its rays reaching the east and the west and he is qualified for position of authority, he will gain great authority; otherwise he will be granted knowledge for which he will become well-known throughout the land. If the governor sees it in his dream, he will attain power in his governorship, but if he sees its rays not falling on him, he will be dismissed if he is a governor, otherwise he will lose his livelihood or fail in business. If a woman sees that in her dream, her husband will divorce her or will refrain from intimacy with her. If he dreams that the sun turns into a man, if it is a young man then the king’s conduct will become worse and if it is a middle - aged man, then the king’s conduct will improve. If a man dreams that he turns into the sun, he will attain au thority as far as its rays shine. If he dreams that the sun turns yellow, he will become sick. If he dreams that it turns black, this is indicative of an enemy. If it turns red, this is indicative of bloodshed. If he dreams that his belly is split and the sun emerges from it, he will die, because the soul is of a light nature. If he dreams that he swallows the sun, this also means that he will die, because the sun is indicative of authority or sovereignty; if the sun enters his stomach, this means that the dreamer will end up in his grave, and if he is not a king, he will live in sorrow, because the sun is hot and grief is the cause of intense burning in the heart. If he dreams that the sun is split in two, and one half remains whilst the other half disappe ars, this is indicative of the emergence of a rebel. Then if the remaining half follows the half that disappeared and they are reunited, the rebel will prevail. But if the part that disappeared goes back to the half that remained and they are reunited, the n sovereignty will be restored to its original owner, i.e., the king. If he dreams that there are several suns in the sky, then the people will be harmed by wrongdoers who are in authority. If the people benefit from these suns, the crops will be good and the people in authority will be just. A man dreamt that the light of the sun became cold, and Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said to him: if that was in summer, then someone in authority will be dismissed or the people under his authority will get something good, then he will die shortly after that. Then their Qaadi (judge) died after becoming good. Another man dreamt that he was naked and the sun fell on his head and burnt his hair. He said to him: A vessel in the bathhouse fell on your head and cracked it. He sai d: You are right.
Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
