Dream:
Assalamualaykum,
I had this dream where I was married to a cousin whose family lives not far from mine, and I had one or two children – I can’t quite remember. But my son was named Mustafa, and he was about 2 years old or so. And he was guiding me about what was right and wrong. He said that me drawing his face was so much gunna (haram). And before I was doing that I was writing in a book ‘About Islam’, and suddenly I started painting my dream son in the middle of the page. I have a feeling that this was my guidance, but could you please interpret this?
Also I am a student, is there a way I can avoid doing the topic that cropped up in my dream and which I do in reality of people? Is burning the drawings a good way to go?
Shukriya.
Interpretation:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
Marriage indicates Divine support and children is rizq. The two-year-old Mustafa points to verse 2:132, which is the second of 13 verses mentioning istifa’ (election and purification).
قَالُواْ سُبۡحَـٰنَكَ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَآ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمۡتَنَآۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
{They said: “Glory to Thee: of knowledge we have none, save that Thou hast taught us: in truth it is Thou who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom.” } (Surat al-Baqarah 2:132)
Drawing points to learning, architecture and wisdom. The blame is for something you did, which needs repentance. Learn one of the Islamic arts in which you can put your talent to good use.
