Turaab in Dream Islam

Detailed book entry

(dust) may be misread asTuraath (inheritance). If he dreams that he swept his house and collecteddust from it, he will take his wife’s wealth by means of a trick. If hedreams that he swept his shop and collected dust from it, he will makea profit in his trade. If he collects some clothes with the dust, he willmove to another shop. If he dreams that dust was put on his head, he will acquire wealth byhumiliating means, or he may be wronged by someone and complain tothe ruler, because some people do such things. If he dreams that he is eating a stone or sand or dust, and he findsthe taste good, he will acquire some wealth from the person indicatedor from farming, or his income will increase. But if the taste is not goodor he gets wounded in his mouth as a result or his teeth get broken, thatis indicative of poverty and exhaustion. Eating sand may indicate thathe benefits from making glass, and other cases may be interpreted insimilar fashion. Gardens, Trees,Water and Ships Gardens Gardens are composed of land and plants. If a person dreams thathe benefits from that garden, which may be attributed to the personindicated by the trees. One of the dream interpreters said: The basic principle with regardto gardens is that they are indicative of seeking forgiveness a great deal,because Allah says: “I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, Heis Oft-Forgiving‘He will send rain to you in abundance, ‘Andgive you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on yougardens.” [Nooh 71:10-12] A garden may also be indicative of a woman, so whoever dreamsthat a garden of his dried up, he will stay away from his wife, and if he irrigates it, he will have intercourse with her, but if someone elseirrigates it, that person is going to betray him by cheating with hiswife. One of the dream interpreters said: Entering an unknown gardenis indicative of grief and dismissal of the governor, meaning that theone who enters a garden is looking to relax and no one seeks that butone who is distressed. Moreover, if there are unknown trees in it that isindicative of arguments. If a sick person dreams that he entered an unknown garden,thatindicates that he will die and enter Paradise. But I found this interpretationonly with him, and the reason for that is obvious. Trees Trees are indicative of a king; their leaves represent his troops andweapons and their fruits represent his wealth. Nebuchadnezzar dreamtof an intensely green tree with its roots firmly implanted in the groundand its branches in the heavens; on its branches were all the birds of thesky and in its shade were the wild creatures of the earth. Daniel saidto him: The tree is you and the birds and its branches are your childrenand your troops and your family. The wild animals dwelling in its shadeare your subjects. A tree may also be indicative of a father or master, and its leaves andfruits are his wealth. Or it may be indicative of his wife, with its leavesrepresenting her bracelets and its fruit representing her children. All itmay be indicative of slaves, children and animals because of the benefitsthat there are in it, and its leaves represent their garments because theleaves cover the tree and were it not for them it would be burnt bythe sun. A tree may also be indicative of livelihood, with its fruits andleaves representing wealth. Or it may be indicative of a scholar, withits leaves representing his books and its fruits representing his branchesof knowledge. Or it may be indicative of a worshipper, with its leavesand fruit representing his supererogatory acts of worship. Trees are alsoindicative of wealth because they and their fruits are a kind of wealth.The bark of the tree refers to inheritance from the dead. If a person dreams that he sees trees growing with fragrant plantsaround them, that is indicative of men entering the place where they aregrowing in order to weep and offer condolences. If a person dreams that he possessed a tree or sought its shade or ate of its fruits or benefited fromit, he will get some benefit shortly from the person indicated by the tree. You may work out the character of the person whom the tree indicatesby referring to the situation of the tree. If it is easily accessible with nothorns, and the taste of its fr uit is good and its fragrance is pleasant, thenthe person it refers to is easy - going and of good character. If the tree isdifficult to reach or it has thorns or its fruit is bitter or its fragrance isunpleasant or rotten or if it does not bear fruit, then the person it refersto is a bad character and his earnings are Haraam. If the tree has thornsbut the dreamer needs its thorns in order to benefit from it by using itto encircle his garden or because he wants the colocynth for medicinalpurposes or he wants the sour pomegranates, and he finds everythinghe wanted, that indicates that he will achieve his aims. That is similarto the one who goes to a miser and gets from him what he wants. If thedreamer finds a tree without thorns or he finds that the colocynth o r sourpomegranates taste sweet, that is a bad sign. You have to pay attention to the tree that you see in your dream, withregard to its origin. A pregnant woman dreamt that she took a coconutand found it very heavy. Shaykh Shihaab - ud - Deen said to her: You willgive birth to a child whose origins lie in India. Another woman dreamtthat and he said to her: You will have some trouble from a Sindhi slavewoman. A man said to him: I dreamt that there was a palm tree in my houseon which there was fruit. He said to him: If you are single, you aregoing to marry a noble woman or a woman whose origin is in the Hejaz,and if you are not single, a man from that region will come to you. Andit all turned out as he said.A man said: I dreamt that I went inside an olive tree an d I broughtout leaves of different colors. He said to him: You will go to the landof the Byzantines and bring from it garments of different colors. Then if what you took of leaves was good, you will benefit, otherwise youwill not.

Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
