Seeing The Kaabah in Dream

The Ka’bah: The Ka’bah personifies the imaam or khalifah of the Muslims. Therefore, any excellence or defects in the Ka’bah reflects similar excellence or defects in the imaam or khalifah.

Seeing the Ka’bah in Any Place Other than in Makkah: At times the Ka’bah also stands for peace and harmony. Therefore, if the Ka’bah is seen in a place other than Makkah, it suggests that the people of that town or village will enjoy peace and harmony.

Tawaaf of the Ka’bah: If a person sees himself performing the tawaaf of the Ka’bah or discharging the rites or manaasik of Hajj then this is an allusion towards the correctness and authenticity of the Deen he professes.

Viewing the Ka’bah: The mere viewing of the Ka’bah in one’s dream means that the observer of the dream will enjoy lasting dignity, exaltedness and victory. For, the Ka’bah is an object of desire for all who have hope.

Placing the Ka’bah Behind One’s Back: If a person sees himself placing the Ka’bah behind his back or performing salaah on top of the Ka’bah, it is a sign that he has abandoned Islam.

An Incident: A man once came to Sa’eed ibne Musayyib (RA) and said: “I have seen (in my dream) that I am performing salaah on top of the Ka’bah”. He replied: “Fear Allah! for it seems to me you have forsaken Isiam”. The man said: “Your excellency! I hereby offer my repentance in your presence for I have been advocating the beliefs of the Qadriyyah sect since two months.”

Performing Salaah in the Ka’bah: If a person sees himself performing salaah in the Ka’bah in the proper manner, observing complete ruku’ and sajdah and adopting inner serenity and outer calmness, then it means that he is rightly guided by Allah and steadfast upon the sunnah of Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam). For, salaah is the main pillar of Islam (after Imaan) and a link between Allah and His servant. But if the salaah is defective, lacking in Ahushoo’ and khudoo’ (ie. inner serenity and outer calmness and composure) it suggests that he has no regard for Islam and his contempt for it is equivalent to the mistakes he makes. He should make amends without further delay.

Inability to Determine the Qiblah: If a person sees himself as not being able to determine the Qiblah, it implies that he is confused and astray in matters of religion.

Making Additions to Salaah: And if a person sees himself making additions to the Salaah (such as performing five rak’aat or observing three sajdahs instead of two) then it implies that he has either questioned the authenticity of or entertained doubts with regards the five basic principles of Islam.

Salaah Towards East or West: If a person sees himself performing Salaah, facing east (when qiblah is not in that direction) it means that he will advocate the beliefs of the Qadriyyah sect (a sect who believes in the freedom of will). If he performs Salaah facing west (when Qiblah is not in that direction) it means he will advocate the beliefs of the Jabriyyah (ie. the sect of the fatalists, believing that man has no power of will: he is involuntarily forced by Allah to do good or bad).

Shaving the Head: Dreaming of oneself as having shaved one’s head during the month of Hajj is a glad tiding that one will proceed for Hajj. But if such a dream is seen during any other month besides Hajj it means that his capital (in monetary terms) will become exhausted.
