Interpretation of Dreams

by Ibn Raashid Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi

The present book tackles the issue of the interpretation of dreams in the light of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, based on the Prophet's hadeeth in which he said, "The dream of a Muslim is one of the forty-six parts of prophethood." In this book, the author provides a definition of the word 'dream', discusses the various types of dreams, mentions some dreams that were interpreted by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), etiquette to be observed by the person who has a dream and the person who interprets it , and provides the interpretation of a large number of dreams, among some other issues related to the subject.

The author is the well-known erudite scholar Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abd-Allah ibn Raashid al-Bakri (d. 736 AH/1336 CE). The English reader will definitely find this book highly interesting and thought-provoking.

One of the best manuals on dream interpretation

First read of the year!! This book was about the interpretation of dreams from the Islamic perspective, and it's a really interesting read. You can tell the author was very well-versed in Arabic and the Islamic science of dream interpretation. One thing that I took from the book is that two people can have the exact same dream- yet it can mean different things. For example, if a thief were to dream the same thing a King was to dream, the interpretation would mean something different for both of them. Very interesting overall!
