ISLAMIC DREAM INTERPRETATION

Decoding the Encrypted Messages from the King of Kings
A 6-Month Programme in the Principles
and Practice of Islamic Dream Interpretation

"Abdullah ibn Zayd reported: I saw in a dream a man wearing two green garments teaching me the Adhan, and he sat on a wall by the Mosque. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him about it, and he said, 'Teach it to Bilal, for he has a louder voice than you.'”

Sunan Ibn Majah 706

IS DREAM INTERPRETATION

A SCIENCE WORTHY OF STUDY?

Many may wonder: Is understanding dreams truly an Islamic science worthy of our time and investment? The answer stems in the deep roots of this knowledge in Islamic tradition.

Dream Interpretation in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and Other Authentic Books of Hadith

Imam Al-Bukhari, one of the most respected scholars of Islam, dedicated an entire chapter in his monumental work, Sahih al-Bukhari, to the interpretation of dreams (Kitab al-Ru'ya). Similarly, dream interpretation is also addressed in Sahih Muslim and other authentic collections of Hadith, further emphasizing the importance of understanding dreams in light of our faith. These works serve as foundational texts, providing insight into the role dreams play in guidance, glad tidings, and personal reflection within the Islamic tradition.

A GLIMPSE INTO

THE ISLAMIC TRADITION

OF DREAMS

Prophet Yusuf (AS): "O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon—I saw them prostrating themselves to me."
— Surah Yusuf (12:4)

The Prophet’s Dream of the Conquest of Makkah:
"Certainly has Allah showed to His Messenger the vision in truth. You will surely enter al-Masjid al-Haram, if Allah wills, in safety..."
— Surah Al-Fath (48:27)

True Dreams as Part of Prophethood:
"Nothing is left of Prophethood except glad tidings." The companions asked, 'What are glad tidings?' He said, 'True dreams.'"
— Sahih Muslim 479

The Prophet’s ﷺ Practice of Discussing Dreams After Fajr:
"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) very often used to ask his companions, 'Did anyone of you see a dream?' So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allah wished to tell."
— Sahih al-Bukhari 7047

The Origin of the Adhan in a Dream:
"Abdullah ibn Zayd reported: I saw in a dream a man wearing two green garments teaching me the Adhan..."
— Sunan Abu Dawood 421

BENEFITS OF DREAMS

HOW WILL DREAM INTERPRETATION TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE?

Glad Tidings and Relief from Worry

The Prophet ﷺ said nothing of Prophethood remains except true dreams that bring glad tidings (Sahih Muslim 479). Whether it’s guidance in hardship or reassurance in doubt, dreams can lift burdens and bring comfort.

Encourage Good Deeds

True dreams can show your spiritual state and inspire action, like Ibn Umar’s dream motivating him to pray the night prayer. Imagine how this knowledge could deepen your own connection to Allah.

Remain Steadfast

When the companions felt weak, the Prophet ﷺ had a dream of performing tawaf around the Ka’bah. This vision, quoted in Surah Al-Fath (48:27), gave them hope and led to the eventual conquest of Makkah. Similarly, true dreams can strengthen your resolve and keep you on the straight path.

Connection to the Unseen

Dreams remind us of the existence of the soul and matters of the unseen, offering glimpses into the metaphysical realm. Unlike Western interpretations, Islamic dream interpretation acknowledges this divine connection.

Cure and Healing

Many have found solutions to spiritual and physical ailments through dreams, such as reciting specific verses of the Qur’an. Imagine discovering the guidance you need to overcome challenges in your own life.

Guidance for Your Deen and Dunya

From Imam Bukhari’s dream that inspired his monumental work, Sahih Bukhari, to modern innovators like Larry Page’s vision for Google, dreams have guided monumental achievements.

IN THIS COURSE, YOU WILL LEARN TO:

Distinguish between true dreams, hadith an-nafs, and dreams from shaytan

Understand how to approach dreams through Qur’an and Sunnah

Recognise symbols and how meanings shift with context

Apply a structured method instead of guessing

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT STUDENTS HAVE SAID

I had been searching for a dream interpreter for years and was overjoyed to discover that Ustadh Arif not only interprets dreams but also teaches us how to understand them. Since taking his course, I now sit with my children and ask them about their dreams—it has become a beautiful and meaningful part of our conversations.

SubhaanAllah this knowledge opened up a whole world of understanding things in a deeper way for me. Also the absolute excitement that you get when your interpretation is correct alhamdulillah. It's guidance that you receive from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and you understand what He's telling you through your dreams

I would highly recommend this course not only was it extremely beneficial (as it’s something you will use and put into practice in your day today life) but it was actually fun and enjoyable, I think this partly comes down to the teacher also, I believe it’s important to have certain characteristics to be a successful teacher and shaykh Arif not only has these qualities but he fulfills the lessons by making them enjoyable. His patience and kindness is of his best qualities and this is important in a teacher.

Through these courses with Ustad Arif, I learned that true dreams are from Allah — and that He guides our lives with precision, mercy, and wisdom beyond what we can see. Using the methodology taught in this program, I was able to understand a dream that came at the most critical moment of my life.

By Allah’s permission, that dream became the turning point that led to my reunion with my husband. What seemed broken was restored. What felt uncertain became clear. It was as if Allah illuminated a path I could not see before in ways I do now.

This course did not just teach interpretation — it opened my heart to how Allah guides, directs, and empowers us to navigate our life choices when we trust Him.

For me, it was transformative. It was divine guidance in action.

I have learned something very profound about the Islamic science of dreams. This knowledge has benefited me greatly and has deepened my understanding in a meaningful way. I am truly grateful for what I have gained, and I pray that Allah blesses Ustadh Arif for sharing this beneficial knowledge. May Allah reward him abundantly.

I would highly recommend it. It’s life changing to be able to understand your dreams. It provides warnings about people or things around you. Blessings and duas being accepted. And teaches you to eliminate and not fear dreams from shaytan.

I would recommend this course as it is a science that can’t be learned by the internet and the access to this science in English is limited to you! After this course I was able to take actions in my life according to the dreams I had (example: a dream I saw my sister crying and I was comforting her, I reached out to her after that to support her).

This knowledge opened up a whole world of understanding things in a deeper way for me. Also the absolute excitement that you get when your interpretation is correct alhamdulillah. It's guidance that you receive from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and you understand what He's telling you through your dreams.

This course completely changed the way I understand dreams. It feels like I’ve been given a bit of a superpower, like learning how to read a hidden code most people don’t understand. Ustadh Arif’s passion for teaching this science is evident, and his humor makes the classes both engaging and enjoyable. You can genuinely see how happy he is when his students grow and succeed. I recommend this course without any hesitation.

THE COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

The famous book "Dream Interpretation by Ibn Sirin" was not authored by Imam Muhammad ibn Sirin (rahimahullah), the renowned Islamic scholar and tabi’i. It was authored by Abu Muhammad Al-Naysaburi or Abu Saeed Al Waith.

Scholars and researchers have clarified that the book widely attributed to him does not have a reliable source to prove he authored it.

The authentic knowledge of Ibn Sirin regarding dreams comes from narrations documented in earlier sources like Imam Al-Bukhari's works, where he is quoted for interpreting dreams.

ARIF ABU MUHAMMAD

In 2017, my journey into the world of dream interpretation began with a moment I’ll never forget. My wife and I had been trying to conceive for months without success, and during this time, she had a dream. In it, she saw herself being given bangles and a Mus'haf. At first, we didn’t think much of it, brushing it off as just a dream. But something about it lingered in my mind, so I decided to share it with my Sheikh, who was known for his ability to interpret dreams.

When I told him about the dream, I didn’t mention that it was my wife’s. I simply said, "A person I know had this dream." Without hesitation, he replied, "Your wife will get pregnant with a baby girl." I was taken aback. I couldn’t understand how bangles could symbolize a baby girl. It didn’t make sense to me, so I left it at that, still somewhat skeptical.

A couple of weeks later, something incredible happened—my wife found out she was pregnant. I was stunned. How could the Sheikh have known? At first, I even wondered if this could be something sinister, like sihr. But as time went on and we found out the baby’s gender, confirming it was a girl, my intrigue grew. This wasn’t something evil—it was far too beautiful and precise for that. It felt like a gift from Allah SWT.

I couldn’t let it go. I went back to my Sheikh, full of questions, eager to understand more about dreams and their meanings. This experience opened my eyes to the profound wisdom and beauty in dreams, a gift from Allah that I had never appreciated before. It was a turning point for me. I realized that dreams are not just fleeting images but can hold deep, meaningful guidance.

That moment set me on a path to learn everything I could about dream interpretation. It became a passion—a mission. I wanted to share this beauty with the world, to help others see the divine messages hidden in their dreams, just as I had seen in mine.
