Funeral prayers Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation

Seeing funeral prayers in your dream signifies praying for the deceased. If you pray for someone you know, it symbolizes a wish for their soul's peace. Conversely, praying for an unknown deceased person may indicate the possibility of a new job or employment opportunities. Such dreams can represent changes or the arrival of new opportunities in your life.

Ibn Sirin

Funeral prayers — Islamic interpretation

From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Funeral prayers" (page 180).

Performing the funeral prayers (arb. J anaza) in a dream means interceding on behalf of the deceased. If the deceased is unknown, then performing the funeral prayers in a dream means employment for a jobless person, profits from a partnership, or it could denote failure to adequately performing one's regular obligatory prayers, or being oft-forgetful, and distracted during one's prayers. Leading the funeral prayers in a dream and interceding with exaggerated invocations on behalf of the deceased in a dream means receiving a political appointment by a ruler who is a hypocrite to manage a sector of his business. Invoking blessings upon the deceased in a dream means that God Almighty has forgiven him. Sitting in a gathering where people are praying for those who passed away in a dream means attending a funeral. Performing the funeral prayers in a dream also means interceding on behalf of a sinner. (Also see Death; Flue times prayers; Funeral)

Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
