Question: Could
you please interpret my dream: I saw a man praying in the dark and he was
reciting Surah Kawthar.
Answer: I
am not an interpreter of dreams. It is normally thought that people who
have religious knowledge also have the ability to interpret dreams. This
I am afraid is not the case.
No doubt certain Prophets of Allah
had the ability to interpret dreams, but it seems that this ability was
a special bestowal from God to them. Today, no man can claim with certainty
that the interpretation he is offering of a particular dream is absolutely
correct. It is based on conjecture, which may or may not ultimately turn
out to be true.
So, I would advise you to stay away
from a person who claims such ability. And if you are tempted to go to
people who claim that they can interpret dreams, it is advisable that you
do not base your decisions solely on what you are told.
