In-Depth Explanation

Dream interpretation is a knowledge proven from both the Quran and the Sunnah. Allah gave the knowledge of dream interpretation to Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام.

Sheikh Abdul Basit interprets according to the methods of Imam Ibn Sirin and other classical scholars — not every dream has a meaning; only the ones that are truly from Allah.

Proof from the Quran

Allah's own words on this matter, with scholarly explanation.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ

"Thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of dreams."

Surah Yusuf 12:6

Explanation: Allah has made the interpretation of dreams a real knowledge, given to the Prophets and to certain special servants.

إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِي سَاجِدِينَ

"Indeed, I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon — I saw them prostrating to me."

Surah Yusuf 12:4

Explanation: The dream of Yusuf عليه السلام came true in reality — true dreams are a sign from Allah.

Proof from Authentic Hadith

Narrations from the Prophet ﷺ on this subject.

الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ

"A good dream is one of forty-six parts of prophethood."

Sahih Al-Bukhari 6983

Explanation: True dreams are a part of prophethood — that is why their interpretation matters.

الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ تُعَبَّرْ، فَإِذَا عُبِّرَتْ وَقَعَتْ

"A dream rests on the leg of a bird until it is interpreted, then it falls."

Abu Dawud 5020 — Sahih
