Mosques and similar places that a person goes to in order to draw closer to Allah, such as schools,Zaawiyahs, city walls, bridges, inns,wells, Khanqahs and so on:
If a person dreams that any part of these places is left and that he was appointed in charge of it, then if the dreamer is fit to be in a position of authority, he will be appointed over it and the people will benefit. If heis not fit to be in a position of authority, then he will be appointed to a position that befits him and the people of that place will benefit from what he builds there. If he is a scholar, the people will benefit from his knowledge, and if he is a worshipper, they will benefit from his supplication or he will appoint for them someone who will teach them to worship Allah. If he has a business or trade, he will benefit from it. If he is an evildoer, he will repent. If he is single, he will get married, and if heis married, he will be blessed with righteous children.
If he is poor, he will become independent of means,and if he is sick, he will recover and people will come to him, to congratulate him on his recovery.All of this applies if he builds it with Halaal money.If it is otherwise, then he is trying to draw close to Allah or to prominent people or others, or he got married, with bad income. Destruction of that place is indicative of the death of a man in whom there is benefit. If someone tries to destroy it, then he will try to destroy the one to whom it refers, and probably the one who is in charge of that place will die.
A man dreamt that a mosque was destroyed and Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said to him: Did you frequent it? He said: Yes. He said: You stopped praying there; go back to it. He said: If the Mihraabof the mosque is destroyed or the minbar is broken,the Khateeb or Imam or emir of that place will die.
Similarly, if the Minaret is broken the Muezzinmay die, and if the lamps are broken or the mats are worn out, the scholars or the people who are in charge of that place may die or theAwqaaf (charitable endowments) may cease.
The same applies if the pillars are broken. If inthe dream the Jaami’ mosque is in ruins, calamitywill strike the Muslims; by the same token, if the structure is found intact, this is indicative of good news for the person indicated, or the Muslims in general will receive good news. Another man dreamt that the Mihraab was destroyed and he said to him: You used to learn Qur’an then you stopped.
Another man dreamt that the dome of a mosque was snatched bya black crow. He said to him: A black man will snatch your hat orturban.
Another man dreamt that the lamp in the Mihraab was removed. He said: The Imam will be dismissed or die and a blind man will take his place.
Another man said: I dreamt that the Minarets of the Jaami’mosquewere destroyed, and I said: The Adhaan will cease, then a man said to him: It has not ceased. He said to him: You are going to do deaf and be prevented from hearing it.
A Muezzin said: I dreamt that I built a Minaret inside the Minaret.He said: Your wife is pregnant and will bear a boy, who will become a Muezzin like you.
Another man said: I dreamt that I fell into a lamp and ate its wick
He said: You went to the mosque and climbed inside it and stole the garment of its Imam. Another man dreamt that but he said: I dreamt that oil was inside it. He said to him: You stole a jar of oil and soon you will die from a pain in the head.
In all cases it turned out as he said.Another man dreamt that he built an inn and let sheep and wolvesenter it. He said: The sheep represent things entrusted to you and thewolves are savage and cannot help themselves if they see sheep. The sheep also represent the owners of wealth and good people, but you are letting evildoers and bandits as well as the owners of the wealth meet in the same place and you are treating them all well, and you think that you are doing the right thing but you are not, and there is the fear of a penalty (from the ruler) for you. Shortly thereafter, he received someevildoers in his inn, and they stole the things that had been entrusted to him and he was forced to replace them.
Another man said: I dreamt that I was building a fine wall around my master’s house and the houses of other people. He said to him: You appear to be good and you are praying for your children, and they will succeed because of your supplication. Another man dreamt that, but he said that he was building it around a woman and he was building it with glass. He said: You are in love with this woman and are trying to attract her by means of witchcraft, but it will not help you.
Another man said: I dreamt that I built a pond of salt. He said: Have you decided to buy some musk and carry it by sea? He said Yes. He said: A wave will come and it will be destroyed and sink.
Another man said: I dreamt that I was building houses of honey in the sunshine. He said to him: Do you make the kind of sweets that are made by blowing? He said: Yes. He said: You will get sick and no longer be of any use.
Facilities such as Inns, Presses, Bathhouses,Shops, Ovens, Mills, and
Slaughterhouses.
If a person dreams that he built any of these things or possessed itor gained control of it, if he is qualified to become a ruler then he will become a ruler; if he is qualified to be a governor then he will appointed as a governor; if he is single he will get married; if he is married he will blessed with a son or he may get a male or female slave or his livelihood will improve. If he is a worshipper, he will be distracted by worldly matters and will give up his worship; if he is poor he will become independent of means and may receive some benefit from oneof his parents or relatives or property. The reason why they said that this is indicative of a king or ruler is that people come to them (kings)because they have needs and because of the wealth that they have, andthe same is true of scholars and worshippers, because the people come to them. The reason why inns represent marriage is that they offer a rest and tranquility to the traveller.
The reason why the press is mentioned is because it contains pipes from which the oil comes out, and because stone is put on stone (all of which refers to marriage). The reason why the bathhouse is mentioned is because of what occurs therein of pleasure, bathing and sweating.
The reason why the shop is mentioned is because a man puts someone whom he loves and trusts in it and he puts his belongings there. The reason why the mill is mentioned is because it contains a pair of stones, one of which is put on top of the other. The reason why lighthouse is mentioned is because the woman takes off her clothes when her husband wants to be intimate with her. And the reason why they said it may signify a child or a male or female slave or increased livelihood and benefit is clear.
If a person dreams that he takes his grain to a mill and has it ground,or he takes his dough to the oven and has it baked, or he takes his leather to the tanner and has it tanned, or he takes his animal to thes laughter house and has it slaughtered, or he takes his meat to the cook and has it cooked or grilled,or he takes his olives to the press and has them pressed, or he takes his animal to the veterinarian and has it treated, or he takes his cloth to the tailor and has it sewn, and so on if heis seeking something from a prominent person he will get his needs met,and if he wants to marry a woman he will marry her, and he will become independent of means after being poor, or he will become secure after fear, or he will recover after being sick or he will make a profit if he is a merchant. But if he goes to those places and finds in them a bad smell,or the fire or smoke is bothersome, or he finds dead animals or harmful animals there, then they are places of wrongdoing and corruption, and places of scholars who introduce innovations, and they are indicative of trade with Haraam money, or a bad living, or the building of bad places such as churches and prisons, and whoever enters one of them will be contaminated with blood or mud or a bad smell, or will be burned with fire and he will have some trouble from the person indicated or he will suffer because of loss of income.
A mill in the city to grind or smash the sons of Adam, stones or ovens that annoy people with their smoke, slaughterhouses in which people are slaughtered, toilets in the road which annoy people, an unknown blacksmith who annoys people with his sparks or puts them in his furnace, a place in the city from which snakes come out, and so onare all indicative of distress caused by enemies, sickness and epidemics,and the source of the distress depends on what the dreamer sees. If he sees a mill or oven, then it will come from food that causes epidemics,sickness and high prices. If the harm comes from enemies, they may block food supplies or destroy stored food and plants. If it comes froma slaughterhouse, then it will come from war and bloodshed, or this calamity may be caused by animals, or the calamity and epidemics may come from meat. If it comes from toilets, then it may be a hot fever,especially if it is summer. If it comes from the sea and the like, then the epidemic may come from water or from what comes out of it. ShaykhShihaab-ud-Deen said: If you see a millstone grinding foodstuff, andthe way it is rotating is crooked, that is indicative of high food prices; a windmill signifies a dispute that is not going to last.Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: If the mill is run by animals and the dreamer dreams that it is powered by water or wind, or its movement change, this is indicative of some benefit from an unexpected quarter,because he saved the food needed for the animal to run the mill.
A man dreamt that he put his hand beneath a revolving millstone and it was destroyed. Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: You will interfere between two men in an inappropriate manner and will have trouble from both of them.
A man dreamt that he brought barley to a mill and what came out was wheat flour. He asked whether eating barley bread was his habit and he said no. He said: After becoming rich you are going to need to eat barley, then you will become independent of means by the help ofa man who dances and sings a lot, because the rotation of the stone is like dancing.
A man said: I dreamt that I was in an oven and my foot was pierced by a stick at the head of which was fire and it burned me. He said: A snake bite you on your foot.
Another man said: I dreamt I was bitten by a snake in an oven. He said: You were burned by a stick which had fire on the end of it.
Another man dreamt that he brought some flour to the oven and baked it without making dough from it. He said to him: Do you have asick loved one and are looking for someone to treat him? He said Yes.
He said: He will recover before that. Another person said something similar to him but said that he kept the bread overnight. He said: Do you have someone who is pregnant? He said: Yes. He said: She will become sick with a fever and will miscarry the child.
A hand mill is indicative of two evil partners from whom nothing good will come except by the help of the third evildoer.The breaking of a millstone is said to indicate relief of distress for one who sees it, and it was said that it signifies his death. In my view,this applies to an unknown millstone. If it is known then it refers to the person indicated, based on what we have said above.
A man dreamt that a loaf of bread broke a millstone. Shaykh Shihaabud-Deen said: You will break your teeth on a small stone in the bread.
Another man dreamt that there was an oven in his mouth in which the fire was stoked. He said: You will eat or drink something hot and suffer intense pain from it.
A boy said: I dreamt that there was an oven in my mouth and Is allowed it. He said to him: You will lick a substance and when you get old you will make a living as a baker. And when he grew up he became a baker.
Another man dreamt that he built an inn. He said: You will undertake journey. If he built it well it means that his travel will go well, otherwise it will not.Another man said: I dreamt that I destroyed an inn. He said: You were preparing to travel, then you could not go ahead. And it all turned out as he said.Entering the bathhouse is indicative of troubles and coming out of itis indicative of relief.
The trouble may be because of a woman, because he takes off his waist wrapper in the bathhouse and his trouble will disappear when he leaves her.One of them said: If the one who enters the bathhouse is feeling distress, his distress will disappear.
This is based on what the doctors say, that if a thirsty person enters the bathhouse his thirst will disappear,and if a person is not thirsty, when he enters it he becomes thirsty.Joining a group of people in a bathhouse is indicative of committing immortality that may result in scandal, because it is a place where‘Awrahs are uncovered.
An unknown bathhouse signifies a woman whose honor themselves are trying to tarnish. If a person dreams that he is in the hot room in the bathhouse, and the water starts running and he wants to stop it but he cannot, this indicates that a man is betraying him with his wife. If he dreams that he is bathing in olive oil in the bathhouse, thisis a good sign.
A man said: I dreamt that I renovated something inside the bathhouse.Shaykh Shihaab-ud-Deen said: You did Ghusl then you were unsure about it so you did it again. He said: You are right. Another man said something similar and he said that the water was hot and it was summertime. He said: You will get another fever.
Similarly, another man said: Who is better, the one who goes in or the one who comes out? He said: If you see someone going in, your wife will have a boy.Another man said something similar and he said: You have two wives and one of them is a slave woman.A man said: I dreamt that there was a bathhouse in my hand, then it fell and was destroyed. He said: A brazier fell from your hand andbroke.
Another man said: I dreamt that there was a bathhouse in my hand and I ate it. He said: You had a kettle and you sold it and consumed itsprice.Another man said: I dreamt that there were stars above my head whilst I was washing in the bathhouse, and they fell and broke my head.He said: A large vessel in the bathhouse will fall on your head.
A woman said: I dreamt that I became an attendant in the bath house for men, women, and wild animals. He said: You will become a midwife,delivering boys and girls and illegitimate children. And that is what happened.
Another woman said: I dreamt that I became a bathhouse. He said: Boils will appear on your body. Another woman dreamt that and he said: You will marry men of all types.A man said: I dreamt that I opened spouts in the bathhouse and water flowed out of them after they had been blocked. He said: You will start to give people suppositories and they will be healed from difficulty in urination at your hands.Another man said: I dreamt that I was the cistern in the bath house and the people were taking water from me. He said:
There is a slur against you. He said: Do not tell anyone.A woman dreamt that she threw sulphur into a vessel of water. He said to her: Was it one whole piece or was it cut up? She said: It was a whole piece. He said to her: You are pregnant and will give birth in the bathhouse.Another woman said: I dreamt that my liver was behind me in hot water.
He said: You will give birth to an illegitimate child who will be raised by the wife of someone who lights fires or a cook.A woman said: I dreamt that my husband was looking from behind the vessels in the bathhouse and was saying: This is a great calamity.He said to her: He is away and he is sick with a fever, and soon he will come back and die.
He derived the word Maat (will die) from the Word jamaat, meaning vessels.Another woman said: I dreamt that I saw someone running over the vessels in the bathhouse and prostrating to Venus. He said to her: An astrologer told you that your husband is turning away from you and that he is distracted by love for another woman. She said: That’s true.
He said: And I say that you are a sorceress. She said: You are right.A man dreamt that a wild animal in the bathhouse injured him. He said: Someone will throw a comb with sharp teeth at you and your blood will flow. And it all turned out as he said.
