Crying dream meaning in Islam
What the classical Islamic books of dream interpretation say about this symbol, with the book and page.
What al-Nabulsi wrote
Did you cry in your dream? Al-Nabulsi wrote in Ta'tir al-Anam that weeping, if it comes from fear of Allah, from hearing the Quran, or from regret over a sin, may point to relief and joy, and to worries lifting. Weeping with wailing has another ruling in his book. Interpretation differs with the dreamer's state, and Allah knows best.
From the book
- «وإن كان البكاء من خشية الله تعالى أو لسماع قرآن أو من ندم على ذنب فإنه في المنام دليل على الفرج والسرور وزوال الهموم والأنكاد»“If the weeping is from fear of Allah, or at hearing the Quran, or from regret over a sin, then in a dream it is a sign of relief and joy and of worries and troubles lifting”
Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, ʿAbd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi (d. 1143 AH), p. 28. Dar al-Fikr, Beirut (al-Shamela text, book 1217). Translated from the Arabic by Fil Manam.
