Question
What is the interpretation of seeing Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) in a dream? A brother's question
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
A brother asked me a question, he says Maulana Sahib, last night I saw Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis Salam in my dream. I am very worried, what will be the interpretation of this dream? Is this a good dream or a bad one?
Many brothers and sisters ask the same question, what does it mean to see a Prophet in a dream. So today I will answer this question in detail.
Answer: Seeing Hazrat Ibrahim AS in a dream is very blessed
My dear brother, first of all congratulations to you. Seeing Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis Salam in a dream is a very blessed and good dream. This is not an ordinary dream. Scholars say that seeing Prophets in a dream is truth.
Its interpretation is very good. It is a sign of goodness and blessings. If you have seen this dream, it means Allah will grant you worship and leadership. You will get abundant and halal sustenance and Allah will grant you righteous children. This dream also indicates that you will become a person who enjoins good deeds and forbids evil deeds.
You know Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis Salam is called Abu-al-Islam, the Father of Islam. Allah says in the Quran that it was he who named us Muslims. Therefore seeing him in a dream is like seeing a kind and affectionate father. It is a sign of a father's affection.
Interpretation of different conditions of this dream
Now there are different conditions of this dream, every condition has a different interpretation, listen carefully.
First condition, if someone sees that he is in some difficulty or trouble and then he sees Ibrahim AS, it means Allah will protect him from that difficulty and will give him salvation. Just as Ibrahim AS was saved from the fire., if someone sees that Hazrat Ibrahim AS has shaken him or shaken hands with him, then this is a proof of love from Allah. Allah loves you.
Third condition, this is very important. Seeing Ibrahim AS in a dream is a sign of performing Hajj. Because Hazrat Ibrahim AS built the Holy Kaaba and gave the call for Hajj. If you have seen this dream and you have the means, then InshaAllah you will get Hajj very soon.
A sister had asked that what if a woman sees this dream? So its answer is that if a woman sees Ibrahim AS in her dream, its interpretation is that some hardship and trial will come upon her children, but Allah with His grace will protect them from that calamity. You should not worry, you should pray.
Fourth condition, if a person sees in a dream that he himself has become Ibrahim AS, then this is a sign that he will face some trouble from his enemies but in the end he will overcome them and will be successful. Or its interpretation is that he will become a Waliullah or a big ruler and will do justice. Or after hopelessness Allah will grant him excellent sustenance. And some interpreters say that messengers of great personalities will bring him some good news.
Fifth condition, if you see that Ibrahim AS is calling you towards himself and you are saying Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik and running towards him, then this is a very great dream. It means your status will be elevated in this world and in the Hereafter.
Which dream is a warning?
Now also listen to a warning dream. If you see that Ibrahim AS called you but you did not give any answer, or you saw that Ibrahim AS is scolding you, threatening you, or you saw him with a stern or angry face, then all these conditions are not good.
It means that such a person is not going for Hajj despite having the ability, or he abandons his prayers, or he criticizes his Imam of the time or there is hypocrisy in his heart. If someone has seen such a dream, he should immediately repent to Allah, become regular in prayers and make intention for Hajj.
Good news for sinners
In this dream there is also great good news for sinners. If a non-believer sees Ibrahim AS in a dream, its interpretation is that he will become a Muslim. If a sinner sees him, he will repent sincerely from his sins. If a person who does not pray sees him, he will return towards prayer.
And whoever sees that he is in the form of Ibrahim AS or is wearing his clothes, then some trial will befall him but later he will get honor.
My final advice to you
My brother, in short, this dream indicates removal of grief and worry and attaining goodness and guidance. Some scholars say that sometimes this dream can also be a sign of disobedience to one's father, so you should take special care of your parents.
If you have also seen such a dream, then thank Allah, offer Nawafil and pray to Allah that Allah makes this dream better for you. And do not tell your dream to everyone, tell it only to a pious and knowledgeable scholar.
May Allah grant us all the respect for His Prophets. Ameen.
