Detailed book entry

- ud - Deen said: The only reason why being on the bier is indicative of glory and rising in status is because he is above the people; and it is indicative of being appointed to a position of authority because people w alk before him and behind him; it is indicative of travel because he is moving from one place to another; it is indicative of a poor man becoming rich because the people do for him what needsto be done; it is indicative of meeting loved ones because he wil l end upin the place where loved ones are, namely the graveyard. A man said to me: I dreamt that I was on a bier and the windcarried me. I said to him: You will travel on a ship. And that is whathappened. Another man said: I dreamt that I was on a bier bei ng carried byanimals. I said: You will travel on wheels. If he dreams that he followed the funeral procession, he will follow aruler with no religious commitment. If he saw a funeral in the marketplace, that market will sell all its goods and run out of me rchandise, becausethe deceased is like wealth, in that he has a high status, like gold andsilver coins, and he has appeared in the marketplace like wealth. Thatonly happens when there is nothing left to buy. If he dreams that he sawa funeral procession fly ing in the air, a leader or scholar will die buthis death will be concealed from the people and he may die away fromhome. If he dreams that a bier was travelling along the ground and hewas on it, he will travel on a ship. If a woman dreams that she died an dwas carried on the bier, if she is single she will get married, and if shehas a husband her religious commitment will be spoiled. My daughter dreamt, when she was still unmarried, that she died andwas carried on the bier. I interpreted that as meaning tha t she would getmarried and that the bier represented the chair on which the bride sits. And that is what happened. Then a married woman dreamt that she wasbeing carried on the bridal chair and I interpreted that as signifying herdeath, and the chair repres ented her bier. And that is what happened. Ifa person dreams that he is carrying the deceased person, he will acquireHaraam wealth. Dragging the deceased along the ground is indicative ofacquiring Haraam wealth. If a person dreams that he carried a decease dperson to the marketplace, he will sell his goods and his needs will bemet.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
