Two dreams after making Istikharah

· 5 Muharram 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I was reading istikaraah namaaz to decide whether to propose to a girl I saw, when I had the following dreams. The dreams were on 2 separate nights, about 3 days apart from each other. On both nights, I performed the Istikarah salaah with the dua at the end.

Dream 1: I was playing table tennis with my cousin in the balcony of my house. When I served the ball, it bounced once on the table and then fell on the floor. The ball was now an egg and splattered on the floor. The egg was just a normal egg but it was now broken. My dream ended then.

Dream 2: I was standing and staring into a large mirror. The mirror had 3 parts to it like a dressing room mirror. I was standing up and had no shirt on. In my reflection, I could see my bare chest which was quite hairy. In real life, I do have a lot of hair on my chest so this was normal. But there was a lot of white hairs mixed with the black hairs on my chest. I am still young, so I don’t have any white hairs in real life. The white hairs were more than the black hairs on my chest.

Mufti, could you please provide an interpretation to the 2 dreams and advice me further. What is the meaning of it with regards to my marriage proposal decision?

Answer

If the girl you intend marrying is compatible with you and she is firm in her Deen (and both families are also happy with the nikah) then insha-Allah you should go ahead. The dream apparently seems positive.
