Muhammad Ibn Sirin Dream Interpretation

[Manlio Chowdhury]

MuhammadIbn Sirin (Arabic: محمد بن سيرين) (born in Basra) was a Muslim tabi' as he was a contemporary of Anas ibn Malik. He is claimed by some to have been an interpreter of dreams, though others regard the books to have been falsely attributed to him. Once regarded as the same person as Achmet son of Seirim, this is no longer believed to be true, as shown by Maria Mavroudi.[2]

The most notable of the books attributed to him is Dreams and Interpretations. Ibn Al-Nadim says that he was the author of Taabir Al-Ro'oya (Interpretation of Dreams), which is different from or an abridged version of Muntakhabul Kalam Fi Tafsir El Ahlam (A Concise Guide for the Interpretation of Dreams) first printed in Bulaq, Egypt, in 1284 AH, in Lucknow in 1874 and in Bombay in 1296 AH. It was subsequently reprinted numerous times in various parts of the Arab World under different titles.[citation needed]

The rare second edition in Italian of his interpretation of Egyptian and Persian dreams was translated from Leo Toscano's Latin into Italian by the famous cheiromantist Patricio Tricasso, who, in his foreword to Alessandro Bicharia, explains that he has omitted many of the original interpretations owing to many dreams being inspired either by melancholy or evil spirits. The original Arabic, Greek and Toscano's Latin texts seem not to have survived and this is the second of three Italian editions of the sixteenth century, the others appearing in 1525 and 1551.[citation needed]

I was wondering if it is possible to have warning dreams. I recently had a few dreams where some one is trying to harm one of my family members, physically and by slandering. Well, thats what I get from the dream. I didn't tell my family member the dream, but just that to ask Allah for protection, because though others might plan against my family, I know Allah is the best of planners. Was I wrong for telling my family member that i fear others are trying to harm u, please make dua to Allah for protection? Insha Allah, I hope that I didn't do anything wrong.

We ask Allaah to protect us and you from all bad and evil things and to divert from us and from you the plots of the devils among mankind and the jinn, for He is the best of protectors and the Most merciful of those who show mercy.

With regard to what the sleeper sees in his sleep, it falls into three categories: good dreams which come from Allaah; bad dreams which come from the shaytaan; and what a person is thinking about.

It may be that what one sees is not a dream of either of these two types, rather it stems from what one is thinking about. This is called confused dreams and it stems from events and fears stored in the memory and subconscious, which are replayed during sleep. For example, a man who works in a certain profession and spends all day working in that field, and before he goes to sleep he thinks about it, so he may see things having to do with it in his dream; or one who thinks about someone whom he loves and sees things that have to do with that person. There is no interpretation for these things.

Alarm comes from the shaytaan. The shaytaan depicts to a person in his sleep things that alarm him with regard to himself, his wealth or his family, or in his community, because the shaytaan loves to make the believers sad, as Allaah says:

Everything that causes distress to people and upsets them, the shaytaan is eager for it, whether it is when they are awake or asleep, because the shaytaan is an enemy as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught us what we should do if a person sees something in his dream that he dislikes and wakes up as a result. It is: spitting dryly to the left, seeking refuge with Allaah from the shaytaan, turning over, praying if one wants, and not telling people about it.

We should point out an important matter, which is that if a person is righteous and strives to obey Allaah always, he will not be harmed if he sees or is seen (in a dream) in a situation that causes distress, but if he is an evildoer and sinner in his real life, then he will not benefit from seeing himself or being seen in the best state.

Hishaam ibn Hassaan said: Ibn Sireen was asked about one hundred dreams and he did not give any answer except to say: Fear Allaah and do good whilst you are awake, and whatever you see in your sleep will not harm you.

You can warn your relative about a possible plot or evil that is expected, without mentioning who may be behind this plot. If you are worried that something bad may happen, then you should take precautions, and nothing will harm you in sha Allaah, even if what you fear happens. But if what you feared did not happen, and the dream did not come true, no harm will befall you because you did not speak badly of anyone and did not transgress against anyone.

This book is a comprehensive guide to interpreting dreams according to Islamic tradition. The book is authored by Mohammad al Akili and is based on the works of Ibn Sirin, a renowned Islamic scholar who lived in the 8th century.

The book provides a detailed analysis of the symbols and meanings associated with various dreams, including prophetic dreams, nightmares, and symbolic dreams. It draws on the teachings of the Quran and the Hadith, as well as the works of other Islamic scholars, to provide a comprehensive and authoritative guide to dream interpretation.

"Ibn Sirin's Dictionary of Dreams" is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the significance of their dreams from an Islamic perspective. It offers practical guidance on interpreting dreams and provides insights into the spiritual and psychological dimensions of dreaming.

These constitute true or good dreams, which are believed to be from Allah. Those who spend their life truthfully are more likely to have true dreams. Also, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised that those who have good dreams should share them with only those who they like and trust.

Dreaming about lighting a fire and seeing others being led by its light suggests that the individual who lit the fire will eventually become a source of illumination for others via knowledge and wisdom. Worshipping the fire in a dream also connotes a desire to serve a ruler or monarch, as well as the possibility of erring. If the fire that is being worshipped is not lit in the dream, it indicates that the person is looking for illegal sources of gain.

The ocean or sea represents a huge realm and a strong dynasty as long as there is no evidence of mud, silt, or ominous waves. In a dream, if the person sees himself swallowing the entire sea, and only the king can see him, it foretells that he will rule and have a long life. If one dreams of drinking from it to satiate their thirst, this portends wealth, power, and long life. If he fills a pitcher with its water in a dream, it portends fortune, or Allah will give him a generous present that includes wealth and high status. His reputation, nevertheless, will last longer than his wealth.

In a dream, snow, and fire that are next to one other, stand in for love, passion, and connection. Snow in a dream might represent money or a medical breakthrough. If snow is present throughout its season, it represents wiping away troubles and revealing rivals or jealous friends. If one sees snow in their dream during a season other than winter, it might represent pain, profanity, or hurdles impeding their journey objectives. It could also represent disease or paralysis.

Clearly, the scholars, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as well as the Quran highlight that some dreams have meanings and symbols. However, interpreting dreams is a tricky business and is not always accurate. Therefore, dream interpretation must be treated with caution.

The best way to distinguish meaningless dreams from true or bad dreams is by focussing on the feeling one has. True dreams are accompanied by a feeling that they were inspired by Allah. The bad dreams are usually frightening or troubling. However, the meaningless dreams are not accompanied by any significant spiritual feeling.
