Important Reminder

Islam teaches that dreams are of three types:

1. True dreams (a glad tiding from Allah).

2. Dreams from one's own thoughts and daily concerns.

3. Disturbing dreams from Shaytan.

Therefore, dream interpretation should never be treated as absolute certainty. Only Allah knows the unseen, and dream meanings vary according to the dreamer's faith, circumstances, and the complete details of the dream.

"And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him."
(Qur'an 6:59)
