Hell

Entering it is indicative of prisons, diseases and hardships, as wellas ri ch people becoming poor, people in positions of authority beingdismissed, leaving loved ones, risky travel and mixing with evildoers. If it burns him on his ears, it is as if that is because of him listening tothat which is not permissible; if it burns him on his mouth, it is becauseof what he said or ate; if it burns him on his eye, it is because of hislooking; if it burns him on his body, it is because of his earnings. If itburns him on his chest or his heart, it is because of his beliefs. If it burnshim on his genitals, it is because of his illicit sexual relations. If it burnshim on his feet, it is because of his walking (to commit sin). If it burnshim on his entire body, that is a very bad sign and indicates that he hascommitted major sins that dictate Hadd punishments and his situationmay be exposed before the people. If he dreams that the keeper of Hell, Maalik, took him by his forelock and threw him into Hell, he will be humiliated. If he saw him looking cheerful, he will be released from prison or wi ll find relief from a bad situation, or he will be saved from a jailer or executioner or someone else who has authority. If he dreams that he saw Hell from close up, he will go throughhardship because of a man of authority and will barely escape from it, b ecause Allah says: "And the Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists, sinners), shall see theFire and apprehend that they have to fall therein. And they will find noway of escape from there." [Al-Kahf 18:53] This dream about Hell is a reminder of a sin that he has committedand that he should repent from it. If he dreams that he escaped from Helland nothing bad happened to him, he will go through worldly distress. If he dreams that he ate from the tree of Zaqqoom in Hell or drankfrom its boiling water, he will be preoccupied with knowledge that hasbad consequences or he will face some trouble and may even commitmurder. If he dreams that he is detained in it and does not know whenhe entered it, that indicates that he will continue in this world to bedistressed, poor, deprived and forsaking all kinds of acts of worship. Ifhe dreams that he was walking on live coals, that indicates that he stepsover people's necks deliberately in gatherings. If he dreams that heunsheathed a sword and entered Hell with it, he will speak of immoraland evil things. If he dreams that he entered it smiling, he will commitshameful acts and enjoy worldly delights. Every dream in which Hellappears is a sign that turmoil will soon come, because Allah says: "Taste you your trial (punishment, i.e. burning)! This is whatyou used to ask to be hastened!" [Al-Dhaariyaat 51:14] A man said: I dreamt that I was in charge of Hell. He said to him: You are a jailer. Another man dreamt that and he said to him: You are abandit who kills people. A man said: I dreamt that Hell came and shouted loudly. He said tohim: That is indicative of the dismissal of prominent people. Another man dreamt that and he said: There will be intense heat that will destroythe crops and break the bathhouses. Another man said: I dreamt that Ifell into Hell. He said: You will fall into sorrow or into an oven. Andthat happened. Another man said: I dreamt that I was in control of Hell. He saidto him: You are a man who likes to frequent dens of iniquity andgambling.
