Imam Ibn Sirin
Seeing paradise and not entering it in a dream means glad tidings of a blessed deed one will perform. Only an equitable person may see it, not an unjust person. Should he desire to enter it when someone is preventing him from doing so in the dream means that he must exercise patience toward being prevented from attending a pilgrimage to Mecca. It also means that he could be prevented from repenting from a sin he is adamant at disqualifying from being a sin, then when suddenly he feels an urge to repent for it, he may be prevented from doing so. If one sees that one of the gates of paradise is closed in the dream, it means that one of his parents will pass away. If two of its gates are closed in the dream, it means that he will lose his parents. If all of its doors are locked in the dream, it means that his parents are displeased with him. If he enters paradise from whichever gate he pleases in the dream, it means that both of his parents are pleased with him. If one is let into paradise in a dream, it represents his death. It is also interpreted to mean that he will repent for his sins at the hands of a spiritual guide or a wise shaikh who will lead him into paradise. Entering paradise in a dream also may mean attaining one's goals, though paradise itself is surrounded with schemes and maneuvers. Seeing paradise in one's dream also means joining the company of revered people of knowledge and observing good conduct with people in general. If one sees himself entering paradise smilingly in a dream, it means that he constantly invokes God's remembrance. If one sees himself entering paradise with his sword unsheathed in a dream, it means that he commands good, forbid evil, and that he will receive blessings and praises in this world and in the hereafter. This dream also can be interpreted as earning one's martyrdom. If one sees himself sitting under the central Tiiba tree in paradise in a dream, it means blessings and prosperity in this world and in the hereafter. If one sees himself sitting in the gardens of paradise in a dream, it means that he will be blessed with sincerity and perfect religious adherence. Eating from the fruits ofparadise in a dream means acquiring knowledge. Drinking from its rivers of honey and milk in a dream means receiving wisdom, inner knowledge and prosperity. Leaning against a tree in paradise in a dream represents the chastity of one's wife. Picking the fruits of paradise and feeding them to others in a dream means sharing knowledge with others or teaching them. If one is forbidden from having the fruits of paradise in a dream, it denotes his failure to properly attend to his religious duties. Drinking water from the fountain of abundance (kawthar) in a dream means attaining leadership and conquering one's enemy. Dwelling in a heavenly palace in a dream means marriage to a beautiful woman. Seeing Ridhwiin, the guardian angel ofparadise in a dream brings happiness, prosperity and a healthy life. If one sees angels coming before him and paying their regards in a dream, it means that he will sustain a great patience during a worldly trial that will lead him to paradise. If a sick person sees himself entering paradise in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness, and it could represent earnings, piety, prosperity, dispelling distress and getting an answer to one's prayers. If one sees himself entering paradise carrying money and leading a herd of sheep in a dream, it means that he will enter it through his charity and paying his due alms. Entering paradise together with one's wife means a good family relationship and giving respect to one's wife. Seeing paradise in a dream also represents one's devotion, piety, renunciation, and being of benefit to one's companions. The trees of paradise in a dream represent the gnostics, the true servants of God Almighty and the callers to God Almighty. If one is thrown out of paradise in a dream, it means that he needs to understand the story of Adam, upon whom be peace. Circumambulating paradise in a dream means dispelling fear, overcoming one's difficulties, or getting married. (Also see Key)
Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi
Entering Paradise is indicative of the opposite of what is signified byentering Hell. It is indicative of marriage for one who is single and ofgood deeds, and repentance of the evildoer. If the dreamer dreamt thathe took a book with him, it indicates that he will enter it by virtue of hisknowledge. If he has a Tasbeeh or other religious artefacts with him, hewill enter it by virtue of his worship. If he has any kind of equipmentwith him, he will enter it by virtue of Jihad. Thus the means by whichhe will reach it is indicated. Entering it is also indicative of safety from fear and of meeting lovedones and those who are absent. If the dreamer sees Paradise and did not see himself entering it, thatis glad tidings of a good deed. One of the dream interpreters said: The one who sees Paradise withhis eyes will get what he wanted and his distress will be relieved. If he dreams that he wants to enter it but is prevented, that indicatesthat he will be prevented from doing Hajj or Jihad after thinking of it,and he may fall into sin and want to repent but will be prevented fromit. If he dreams that one of the gates of Paradise was shut in his face,one of his parents will die, and if two gates are shut in his face, they willboth die, because their supplication is a means of entering Paradise. Orit may mean that he will find it difficult to do righteous deeds that heused to do. If he dreams that the gates were shut in his face, his parentswill be angry with him or he will do the deeds of the disobedient andabandon the deeds of the righteous. If he dreams that he entered it from any gate he wanted, his parents will be pleased with him. One of them said, It indicates that he does Wudoo' properly and saysafter it: Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu'l-mulkwa lahu'l-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer. Allahumma-j'alnimin al-tawwaabeen waj'alni min al-mutatahhireen (There is no godbut Allah alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion andto Him be praise, and He is able to do all things. O Allah, make meone of those who repent and make me one of those who are purifythemselves).The Hadeeth narrated concerning that says that the onewho does this will have the gates of Paradise opened for him and hemay enter by whichever gate he wants. If he dreams that he is sitting beneath the tree of Tooba, he will attaingood in this world and the next, because Allah says: " Toobaa (all kinds of happiness or name of a tree in Paradise) is for them and a beautiful place of (final) return. " [Al - Ra ' d 13:29] If he dreams that he is lying on a bed in Paradise, it indicates thathis wife is chaste and righteous. If he dreams that he entered Paradisebut does not know when he entered it, he will attain complete glory andblessing in this world as long as he lives. If he dreams that he threwParadise into Hell, he will sell a garden and consume its price. If he dreams that its cro ps were withheld from him, his religiouscommitment will be corrupted because Allah says: " Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allah, thenAllah has forbidden Paradise to him. " [Al - Maa ' idah 5:72] If he dreams that he picked up one of its f ruits and gave it to someone else, he will benefit that person by teaching him knowledge. If he dreams that he is in one of its palaces, he will attain leadership ormarry a beautiful girl, because Allah says: " Hoor (beautiful, fair females) guarded in pavilions. " [Al - Rahmaan 55:72] It is narrated that al - Hajjaaj dreamt that two of al - hoor al - ' iyn camedown from heaven; he kept one of them and the other went back. Newsof this dream reached Ibn Sireen and he said: Those are two turmoils;one of which will ha ppen during his lifetime and he will be involved init, but the other will occur after he dies and he will not be involved in it. He was involved in the turmoil of Ibn al - Ash ' ath but not in the turmoilof al - Yazeed ibn Muhallab. If he dreams that Radwaan, th e keeper of Paradise greeted him, hewill be happy and live a good life, and he will be safe from calamity,because Allah says: "And its keepers will say: Salaamun 'Alaykum (peace beupon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein"[Al-Zumar 39:73] And he will end up a martyr. A man said: I dreamt that I was the owner of Paradise. He said: Youown a garden and are in charge of it. A disbeliever said: I dreamt that I was thrown out of Paradise. Hesaid: You have a beautiful house in which there are plants, but it will betaken from you, and you will have a lot of wealth and blessings becausethis world is a prison for the believer but a paradise for the disbeliever. And that is what happened. A man said: I dreamt that I entered Paradise and took something from it and ran away with it. He said: Did you enter the house of a person ofhigh status and steal something from it? He said: That's right. Another man said: I dreamt that I was in Paradise, talking to itspeople. He said: You are going to enter a city in which there are travellersfrom many lands and you will hear strange news. A man who was sick with a fever said: I dreamt that I enteredParadise. He said: You will recover. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Master Muhammadand his family and Companions until the Day of Judgement. Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.
