Dreams

The purpose of istikhaara

Q: I would like to ask about the istikhara that my cousin did for her for her proposal.

1) Is Istikhara always right when we do for marriage purpose?

2) My cousins fiancee did the Istikhara for her and it was good. When my cousin's aunt did it, it also came good. She saw in her dream a banana and jojo which they say that it symbolizes as good as banana is a jannat fruit for the prophet and so the istikhara is very good. I would like to know seeing banana and jojo is something in Islam and symbolize positive and is their any importance of it?

3) I have done istikhara in many situations where it came as good but something was not meant for me so I believe if we are honest then Insha Allah, Allah always guide us. Like to know how it works and how much seeing the fruit is important?

Respecting and serving one's parents

Q: I had a dream that I am dying and reciting the kalima. This is the second time it happened to me. Also I was on my mothers feet kissing her feet and asking for forgiveness. My father was there as well and I am asking for maafi from both of them then reciting kalima and my soul leaves my body. Then I woke up. It was 1 am. I stayed worried all day. Please help to interpret my dream.

Taking care of one's mother

Q: My father passed away three weeks before. A week before I saw in my dream that my father is telling me and my sister that what if I take away your mother to your uncle's home?(who already passed away two months before) Further, he said that would you both be comfortable? I am worried because I have heard that sayings of the dead are always true. I want to know what does it mean?

Exercising caution when dealing with different types of people

Q: I saw a dream around 8 am. I saw that my father bought some medicines for him. These were strips like that are used on injuries. I took out a strip and uncovered it on my hand. A lizard came out and began running around my three sister's body who were asleep on mattresses spread on the floor, it took four rounds around each of my sister body covering my youngest sister's face and other parts of each of my sister body. I was shouting calling out my mom to look. The lizard after taking 4 rounds died and I said to my mom" the lizard died as you crushed its face down your feet". The medicines were prescribed by a non-muslim doctor and I felt like it was kind of an attempt that he might make against muslims. I then got to know that any strip that sticks tightly has a lizard inside and so I began to sort the goods ones out and threw all that stuck tightly. I heard my father saying that the only problem is that this doctor is the best among all. Please let me know what does this mean.

What to look for when choosing a life partner

Q: I made istikhara about a proposal for my marriage. I am 28 and a male. I saw 3 different dreams and I was waking up after each dream during the night. All 3 dreams were confusing and in the morning my heart was in fear but later the day I was relaxed again. Below are three dreams. Please help me in getting their meaning.

1- I saw a girl and there was a man with him and it seem like the man wanted to hurt that girl, I was watching that girl and man from some distance and I was hiding myself behind a car so that the man couldn't see me but then he saw me and captured me. At this point I woke up and I was in fear.

2- I saw a girl from her back with her mother. They came out of a taxi and she took her away. I could feel that the mother was very protected towards the girl.

3- I saw a big house and on the roof of this house I saw myself with some more people. All of us were surrounding the borders of the roof and we had guns in our hands. There were dark shadows trying to enter the house and we were shooting with guns those dark shadows. We were trying to stop them from entering the house and we were successfully shooting them. Then I woke up and my heart was really confused. I don't know this girl and my family arranged this proposal and they are satisfied except for the height of the girl. I only saw her picture before making istikhara. I liked her picture. Please guide me, Jazakallah.

Receiving money in a dream

Q: I saw a dream on Thursday morning between 10 and 11 a.m. I will be very obliged if u tell me it's ta'beer. In the dream I saw that on Eid day my daughter received some money in pounds as Eidee (gifts given on eid day). And she brings it to me to keep it safe as she does in normal life too. At that time I am busy in the kitchen so do not want to go upstairs into my room to keep the money in a safe place. I keep some money in a chocolate box and some money elsewhere thinking that I will take it out later when I get free. So when I get free I open the chocolate box and take out different notes in pounds. I feel that the money is much more than the money that I put in the box. Similarly when I take the money from the other place as well I feel that the money is more than I put their initially. So I mentioned it to my husband as well that see its so much money and I was feeling very happy in the dream. Then I woke up.

Protecting one's limbs and leading a pure life

Q: I have two questions. One relating to a dream and the other to do with interpretation.

1) I saw I was at a Quran competition and once I finished I went looking for a girl. When she finished I asked her if I wanted to take her home. She was hesitant then she accepted. Next thing I see is a blue car which I drove her with. When arriving at the house that neither belongs to me nor her in real life, we enter the home (which seemed spacious and modern).

2) If I had a dream that was the same as somebody else,by reading its interpretation does that make it interpreted for me as well?
