Solomon (A.S.)

Seeing Solomon (A.S.) in a dream signifies sovereignty and kingship, and judgeship, for one who is suited to them; and prosperity and well-being for others. Seeing him indicates suffering on account of women, attaining high positions, wealth and honour, knowing foreign languages, speaking with foreigners, and travelling much.

The interpretation of seeing Solomon (A.S.) in a dream—particularly if Solomon (A.S.) has turned toward the dreamer wearing his crown, placed his ring upon him, or seated him upon his throne—is sovereignty for one worthy of it, and judgeship and the giving of legal opinions for one qualified to issue fatwas. At times, such a person falls into difficult affairs, then ultimately rises to high stations through the beauty of his fate in the Hereafter and through the help of Allah in this world.

Seeing the Prophet Solomon (A.S.) in a dream signifies suffering and hardship at the hands of women. If the person who sees Solomon (A.S.) is a governor, he is dismissed from his office and later returns to the same governorship. At times, he marries, through deceit, a wealthy and honourable woman. If the person who sees Solomon (A.S.) earns his livelihood through birds and glassmaking, he derives great benefit from them and obtains abundant sustenance. At times, an exceedingly precious possession of that person is lost, and after he has given up hope, he finds it again. Sometimes, after his enemy has overcome him, he in turn overcomes that enemy and takes his revenge upon him.

Seeing Noah (A.S.) in a dream is the opposite of this. For seeing him signifies the death of the sick person. This is because the word Noah contains the meaning of “Nahva,” which means weeping over the dead. Such weeping is done only over the dead. Whoever sees in a dream that he possesses Solomon’s (A.S.) staff is a person who backbites and carries tales. If he is ill, he dies. Whoever sees Solomon’s (A.S.) seal and becomes its possessor will have his governorship renewed, or it indicates that he will possess a banner to a degree that will astonish the people. These interpretations are mentioned under the entries on seals and rings. A woman who sees Solomon (A.S.) in a dream will marry.

His return will be swift and his journey far-reaching, and he will attain goodness and safety.

Ibn Sirin: Allah Most High subjected the wind to serve the Prophet Solomon. Seeing him (A.S.) in a dream signifies leadership, the station of judgeship, possessing wisdom, or, if the dreamer is qualified, interpreting religious matters. This interpretation is further strengthened if Solomon crowns the person in the dream, places a ring on his right hand, or seats him beside himself upon his throne. Seeing him (A.S.) in a dream also indicates overcoming distress and difficulties, receiving a divine favour concerning an exalted position in this world, and attaining greater blessings in the Hereafter. Seeing him (A.S.) in a dream also signifies being tested through women and their ingratitude.

He may become an interpreter, or he may gain mastery of the Arabic language.

Seeing Solomon in a dream also signifies recovery from illness. Seeing oneself take the staff of Solomon into one’s hand in a dream indicates becoming involved in backbiting or slander; and if the person is ill, it indicates that he will die. Seeing or finding Solomon’s ring in a dream signifies the renewal of the period of one’s leadership, or the appearance of a great miracle that will astonish people and bewilder their minds.
