Imam Ibn Sirin

Dreams and Interpretations (Ibn Sireen, Hathurani tr.) · p. 60

Applying surma to the eyes suggests the observer's rightful conduct in matters of his Deen. Applying surma in the eyes with the object of adornment suggests that the observer will accomplish a religious task as a result of which he will enjoy credibility amongst the people. Sometimes a person's eye may symbolise either his belongings, son, brother or leader. Any excellence or defect in the eye will then reflect a similar excellence or defect in any of the above. Eyebrows and Eyelashes: They symbolise the preservation of one's Deen and the heeding of its message. The healthier they are the greater its preservation and the more he will respond to its message.
