seeing religious mosques???

[Sister Nomee]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Hope you are in the best of health insh allah.

I dreamt I was giving a talk on Islam( which is my job anyway) and I saw pictures of Masjid Nabwi (sallallho walihi wasalam)and other religious places which I cannot clearly remember. What does this dream mean???


Jazakallah khair Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam)


Jazak'allah for your valued question. Allah the Almighty states in the Qur'an al hakeem:


'Wa masajida yudhkaru fi hasmullahi kathira'

'It is in the mosques that the rememberance of Allah is made abundantly'


This is the verse that Hadrat Ibn-e-Sirin (Rehmatullahi ’Alaih)has quoted in his book named 'Ta'bir-ar-Ru'yah'. It signifies that seeing such a place in a dream, is a person to whom a lot of people come, in order to gain advice.


From it, it has also been deriven that one will be pious towards, and become good to other people, therefore gaining the necessary rewards. It also means that one will gather a nation, towards his work and make firm those therein, upon the religion of Islam, and the Shar'iyyah.


Hadrat Isma'il Ash'ath (Radi Allahu anhu) has also interpreted that if a person sees one of the two Noble Sanctuaries (Makkah or Madinah), and one has gone into anyone of these Mosques, it means that a person will be at harmony from all surroundings of fear.


These were the interpretations that were relevant to the question that you had asked, as all other dream interpretations were based on doing certain deeds in the mosque, like praying salaah, sitting near the greenery around the mosque, and lighting lanters in the mosque etc.


Hadrat Ja'far Sadiq (Radi Allahu anhu) states that there are twelve reasons in seeing a mosque in a dream:


a) A King
b) A judge
c) A scholar
d) A leader (head)
e) An imam
f) A sermoner (khatib)
g) A caller to prayer (mu'adhdhin)
h) A mosque
i) A head (amir)
j) Goodness and Blessing (khayr-o-barakah)
k) To marry a woman
l) To do good.


If one sees that he has gone in to the mosque on a Friday, it means that the common people shall gain the good and blessings from him. If one sees that he has made the mosque, it is a sign to say that one is firm in his religion and faith. If one sees that he has gone into a mosque, it means that he shall be tranquil from all fears. It is the saying of the Almighty:


'Wa man dakhala hu kana amina'

'Whoever enters into the mosque shall be tranquil.....'


Hope this information has answered the query regarding your dream.
