Seeing your father happy in dreams : Islamic meaning

~June 11, 2023~

Having a dream in which you see your father was happy for a good or pious reason, then it means happiness for him soon in real life. However, if in the dream your father was happy for another reason then that means sorrow, sadness.

That is an interpretation following the teachings of Ibn Sireen, for whom happiness in a dream means sorrow.

If the deceased appears attractive, cheerful, and well-dressed in the dream, it indicates that his descendants will inherit his happiness.

Ibn Sireen

In fact, according to this muslim author, in a dream being pleased or content about something that does not make the heart feel good or that the heart does not think is the right way to act or behave means sadness and sorrow when you wake up.

Moreover, as per this muslim author, if a deceased person appears in a dream as vivacious, pleasant, and casual, it indicates that the dream is a hallucination or that the dreamer is experiencing disturbed dreams, as dead people do not jest and have their own responsibilities to fulfill.

In a dream, to be happy means to be sad, upset, or cry. If a person thinks that his friends are glad and joyful, it means that he will also be happy.

Happiness in a dream can also mean not thinking about God’s rules. If a person is happy in a dream because a prisoner is set free or a sick person gets better, this is a sign that good things will happen in real life.

If you tell someone something that should make them happy but instead makes them sad, like that someone just got back from a long trip when that person just died, it means that their sadness and fears will go away.

There are another scholars who indicate that a dream in which someone sees a happy father means divine blessings and contentment in the dreamer’s life. It also reflects Allah’s favor and shows that the dreamer is on the right path, experiencing harmony, and finding joy in their relationship with their father or in their familial connections.

A dream portraying a happy father may symbolize the dreamer’s fulfillment of their filial obligations, indicating that they have been dutiful, caring, and supportive towards their father. The dream is a reminder of the reward and satisfaction that comes from fulfilling these responsibilities.

If currently there are pending tensions, conflicts or arguments inside your extended family, then dreaming of a happy father means resolution of past conflicts, forgiveness, or the mending of strained relationships. This dream signifies that the dreamer has found peace within themselves and with their father, fostering a sense of emotional well-being.

May Allah give your family comfort and patience and hope with which to continue.

May Allah, the most Generous, watch over you and your family.

Seeing your father was angry in a dream in Islam

If you dream that your father is furious with you, it indicates that you feel you are not following the instructions of your family members (parents) or someone in authority over you (supervisor, employer).

May Allah remove all of your difficulties and fill your existence with serenity and joy.

In a dream, becoming enraged for the sake of another signifies a corrupt contract, a contaminated agreement, a marriage consent with the intention of a subsequent divorce, a fight for unlawful earnings, or the accumulation of wealth through usury. In waking life, greed and rage in a dream signify deception.
