Jihad against the disbelievers or enemy appears to mean that he will get into trouble with people who follow innovation, but the consequences of that will be good for the one who prevails.If he dreams that he was asked to join the Jihad, he will attain a high status and be praised.
If he sees people going out for Jihad, they will gain glory, victory and blessing. If he dreams that he is fighting the enemy on his own, with his sword in his hand, striking right and left,he will prevail over his enemies. Jihad may be indicative of striving to support dependents, because the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:
“The one who is striving to support his dependents is like the mujaahid who is striving for the sake of Allah, may He beExalted.”If he dreams that he is striving in Jihad for the sake of Allah, may He be exalted, this indicates that he is striving hard to take care of his dependents and will attain good and plenty to live by, because Allahsays:
“He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allah,will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by.
If he dreams that he was engaging in Jihad and then ran away, he will stop striving to support his dependents, and he will sever ties of kinship and fall into sin, because Allah says:
“Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief inthe land, and sever your ties of kinship?
A man dreamt that he was fighting some people who he believed were Christians or Magians. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him:You will have a dispute with people who regard it as permissible tohave intercourse with a Mahram such as a mother or sister.
He said:That is what happened. Another man dreamt something similar and he said: You are having some trouble caused by astrologers and those who believe in the sun and fire. He said: That is right.Another man said: I dreamt that I was fighting the angels. He said:You hunt birds.
A man of high status dreamt something similar and he said: You will have a dispute with a man of authority. He said: That already happened.Another man said: I dreamt that I was fighting the Disciples. He said: You will have a dispute with a Christian.
A Christian said: I dreamt that I was fighting the Christians or it wasas if I was a Muslim. He said: You have knowledge and dispute with your coreligionists about the Oneness of God. He said: Yes.
