For many Muslims, dreams can be a source of prophecy or offer divine gifts to the person who has them. They can also serve as warnings. But how a dream is interpreted also depends on the dreamer's character and the context in which they live. Read on to learn more about how dreams are interpreted in the Islamic faith and why it's important to seek out a scholar to interpret your dreams for you rather than trying to do it on your own.
Things You Should Know
- In Islam, there are 3 types of dreams: true dreams (Ru’yaa) that are messages from God, bad dreams (Hulum) that come from the devil, and dreams that come from your own mind.
- Dreams can be interpreted in light of the Quran or Sunnah or by means of proverbs, names, metaphors, or opposites.
- Seek guidance from Allah before you engage in dream interpretation. It's best to have a scholar or person you love and trust interpret your dreams.
