Seeing “prepare pilgrimage”
in your dream

If a person dreams of himself as holding or possessing water contained in a dish or bowl and he is conscious of himself as being in a state of tuhr (ie. Ceremonial purity) or on a journey in an unknown and strange place, then such a bowl of water symbolizes his life span. If he dreams of drinking all the water it means his life span is completed; he should now prepare for the hereafter. If he drinks the water partially it means he still has a number of years to live. The same interpretation is given if, instead of water, the contents of the bowl or dish is thareed: Pieces of bread steeped in broth.

(Twenty one pebbles collected at Muzdalifa near the Plain of Arafa during the pilgrimage season and are used to stone the devil at a place called Jamarat.) In a dream, pelting stones represent fidelity, paying one's debts, victory over one's enemy, or doing good deeds. To eat one of the stones which are intended for pelting in a dream means to devour or steal the property of a young orphan. Pelting stones in a dream also means fulfilling one's obligatory prayers and fasting, having earlier missed their performance for a legitimate reason. (Also see Pebbles; Pilgrimage; Jamarat)

Azrail  (the Archangel of Death)

• Seeing Azrail: (1) Must prepare for death. (2) Death of a sick person. (3) A lurking enemy.
(4) Will have a long life.

• Azrail seeming happy: The dreamer will die as a martyr.

• Azrail frowning and looking unhappy: The dreamer will die without repenting.

• Wrestling with Azrail: (1) If he overcomes the Angel of Death, the dreamer will face death, but God will save him.
(2) If the Angel of Death gains the upper hand, the dreamer will die.

• Kissing Azrail or vice versa: (1) Inheritance. (2) Dispersal. (3) Something bad will happen.
Israfil  (the archangel who will blow the horn to summon mankind on the Day of Resurrection)

• Seeing Israfil: Good tidings and a beneficial trip.

• Israfil bending and blowing the horn and only the dreamer hearing its sound: The dreamer will pass away. Israfil bending and blowing the horn and other people in the area hearing the horn:
(1) Death and atrocities will take place in that spot. (2) Justice will prevail and the unjust will perish.

• A man dreaming that the hair on his forefront has been dispersed: Will suffer temporary humiliation.

• A white-haired man dreaming that his hair was sprinkled: Will have an ordeal. In case the hair on the right side was dispersed, he would suffer at the hands of male relatives. The left side refers to the female kind. If he has no relatives, he will harm himself.

• Shaving one’s hed or cutting one’s hair short: A good dream for ordinary or poor men, meaning victory, the settlement of debts, and relief, especially if it had been done to perform a pilgrimage. However, such a dream made by a leader would mean the reverse. If he had shaved his head in any other season than that of the pilgrimage, it means that he will be deposed in a scandal and become poor. Likewise, the same dream for a rich man would mean that his wealth will decrease.

• Having been to Maqam Ibrahim and prayed in its direction: The dreamer is a true believer who learns and memorizes religious tenets and will be granted the privilege of performing the pilgrimage.

If one dreams of being on the Day of Arafa  (part of the Muslim pilgrimage rites to commemorate the day on which God brought together Adam and Eve), one will
(1) Resume his support to his parents and in-laws. (2) Make peace after a dispute.

(Maqam Ibrahim, arb.) One who stands at the Station of Abraham at the Sacred Mosque in Mecca and offers his prayers in a dream is a pious person who observes the divine laws and who may be invited to perform a pilgrimage.

Seeing oneself circumambulating Allah's house while riding on a mare in a dream means that one will commit the abominable sin of adultery with a member of his own family or with a consanguineous blood relative with whom it is not permissible to have sexual relationship.

If the one who is walking between the two hills in the dream is a judge, it means that he will be just and equitable. If he is a husband, it means that he will be just with his wife, or true to his parents. If one is ill, it means that he will recover from his illness and return to earning his livelihood.

In a dream, it means sorrow, or earnestly seeking knowledge, desiring to become wealthy, preparing to perform a pilgrimage, or celebrating a religious festival. If one sees himself marching alone in a campaign in a dream, it means that he might endanger his own life, lose his wealth, or that he may face an awesome trial that will bear heavily on him.
