Dream:
My mother performed Istikhara on a Thursday night as there’s no peace in our home. Everyone’s always arguing, my father and her argue a lot, and there’s many arguments with all the children and herself. For two nights she saw nothing but on the third night she saw that she’s reading a book of the Arabic alphabet, the kind used by children before learning the Quran, with pictures of a fruit next to each letter, however all the fruits were jet black. Then she saw a red cola can. She’s read somewhere that seeing red and black in Istikhara is a negative. Could you please interpret, and also possibly recommend a dua to bring peace and unity within the family.
Thank You.
Interpretation:
The biggest blessing of parents is to live to see their children grow to recite the Qur’an with all their heart and this is what the letters mean, while the black fruits point to the cares and worries of raising them and the can is dunya. The coupling of the fruit and letter also points to the husband-wife relationship. It is more righteous and blessed for your mother not to argue with your father even when she is in the right, and for the children not to argue with their mother and father. Keep Salat in its time, fast as much as you can in Muharram (the biggest fasting month after Ramadan) and recite Ya Haleem every morning 100 times for peace and harmony.
