Al Jawāb Bi’ounillāh Wa’alayhi At-tuklān

The science of interpreting dreams is an intricate one that requires the interpreter to have in depth knowledge of the different sciences of Dīn. Generally, dreams do not materialise in reality as exactly seen in one’s sleep. They tend to hold a hidden meaning which needs correct interpretation in light of the Qur’ān and Hadīth. This is why it is not everybody’s job to interpret dreams. The mere knowledge of the different factors that indicate towards the truth of a dream is not sufficient for one to interpret a dream.

Caution must be observed when narrating a dream to someone. It should only be interpreted by an Aalim who has the knowledge of interpreting dreams.

Consider the Hadith,

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ تُعَبَّرْ فَإِذَا عُبِّرَتْ وَقَعَتْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ‏”‏ وَلاَ يَقُصُّهَا إِلاَّ عَلَى وَادٍّ أَوْ ذِي رَأْىٍ ‏”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The vision (dream) flutters over a man as long as it is not interpreted , but when it is interpreted, it takes place as interpreted. And I think he said: Tell it only to one who loves or one who has proper judgment. (Sunan Abi Dawud 5020)

Hereunder are a few conditions that one should fulfil before attempting interpretation of dreams:

  • Should be knowledgeable regarding the Qur’ān and Hadīth.
  • Should have an insight in the linguistics of the Arabic language.
  • Should understand the conditions and temperaments of the people seeking an interpretation.
  • Should be knowledgeable regarding the principles of interpreting dreams.
  • Should be spiritually upright and have good character.
  • Should be truthful. May need to take into consideration the present conditions.

Further, interpretations of dreams differ from person to person. It is not merely the nature of the dream and its contents that are sufficient for an interpretation.  More importantly, those who are learned in the field of interpreting dreams have to consider the Deeni condition of the person who has seen the dream and relate the contents of the dream to his condition in order to give an interpretation.  Whilst two people may have seen the exact same dream, there is high possibility that the interpretations of both persons be very much different.

Whilst ‘Ulama have outlined certain scenarios of dreams and their interpretations, it is not necessary that a dream of that nature always holds that particular meaning. From general experience and knowledge ‘Ulama may have interpreted a certain type of dream in a specific manner, they have also specified that such interpretations are variable. (askimam.org)

YOUR DREAM COULD MEAN:-

Dreaming of the black stone and Ka’aba is a sign that one must constantly stay in Istighfār.

Allāh Ta’ālā knows best.
