What in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

will the consequences be? He said: If your garden is in land that produces dates, then the one you got instead of it will be of little use, otherwise it will not. Green Figs Green figs are liked by many people, so they are indicative of provision and benefit. The evidence for that is that it is said that thehonour of the fig is based on the fact that an oath was sworn by it in theQur’an. And some of them said that seeing it in the dream is indicativeof trouble. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: For the one who usually feelsdistressed when he sees it, he is going to face trouble if he sees it in hisdream, because of his habit. Otherwise it signifies provision. Grapes If the grapes are white, then they signify ample provision andgoodness and a good yield, if they are seen in season. If they are eatenin season, this provision will be hastened before the time when he wasexpecting it. If the grapes are black, they are also indicative of provision,but it will not last. One of them said: In season, they signify worry and out of season,they signify sickness. He said: If he sees them at the door of the ruler,there is the fear that he will be flogged. Someone else said: Black grapes are not something to worry about,just as there is no reason to worry if white grapes are seen, because Allah called it provision. The correct view is that it depends on what is usual, as stated abovewith regard to figs. They may be indicative of rain, because the word‘Inab (grapes) may be misread as Ghayth (rain). If he picks a bunch ofgrapes, he will get some accumulated wealth from his wife, becausethe grape signifies a woman. Picking some grapes from it is indicativeof inheritance. If he picks up one grape and throws it, he will have anargument with his wife and will have some problems. If he dreamsthat he presses the grapes and turns them into alcohol, he will gaina fortune from a ruler and Haraam wealth, based on the story of theservant [whose dream Yoosuf interpreted for him in the prison]. Olives Olives are indicative of wealth. A sick person dreamt that someonesaid to him: Eat and you will never be healed. Ibn Sireen said to him: Eat olives and you will be healed, and he recited to him the Verse “Neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sunrays only in themorning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sunrays only in theafternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long).”[Al-Noor 24:35] I dreamt that someone told me that about someone else, and that hesaid to him: Eat olive oil, and you will recover, and he recited the sameVerse to him. Apples Sweet apples signify Halaal wealth and sour apples signify Haraamwealth, because people are put off by sour things and they are also putoff by Haraam things.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
