DREAMS AND SPIRITUAL MESSAGES: AN ISLAMIC AND SCIENTIFIC INSIGHT

Dreams are one of the most mysterious parts of human life. Every person experiences dreams, yet their meanings and messages are often unclear. In Islam, dreams are seen as more than just imagination they can be spiritual signs, guidance, or warnings from Allah.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “True dreams are one of the forty-six parts of Prophethood” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

showing how valuable and powerful they can be. At the same time, scientists explain dreams as a natural function of the brain, especially during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, where our mind organizes thoughts, emotions, and memories. By combining Islamic knowledge with modern psychology, we can understand dreams deeply and see how they may contain spiritual messages that affect our life.

Modern psychology explains dreams (Nafsiyati Dream) as a way for the brain to process emotions, store memories, and release stress. During sleep, especially in the REM stage, the brai” becomes very active. Neuroscientists believe that dreams help in:

• Emotional healing
• Problem-solving
• Strengthening memory
• Releasing subconscious fears
• Although science looks at dreams from a biological perspective, it still cannot fully explain why some dreams feel so real or even predictive.

A believer should approach dreams with wisdom neither ignoring them completely, nor over-interpreting every small detail. Islamic scholars recommend focusing on good dreams, seeking protection from bad dreams, and using dreams as a reminder to strengthen faith. With the support of scientific insights, we can also understand how our mind and emotions shape many of our dreams.

TYPES OF DREAMS IN ISLAM

In Islam, dreams are not seen as random events. They carry meaning and can come from different sources. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explained that dreams are of three types.

RAHMANI (GOOD DREAMS FROM ALLAH): These are dreams that bring comfort, hope, or guidance. They are a form of glad tidings from Allah and sometimes come through the angels who show the believer a message, a warning, or a sign of encouragement. Such dreams are usually clear, positive, and leave the heart at peace. They can also inspire a believer to move closer to Allah and stay strong in faith.

In Islam, good dreams are considered a gift from Allah and are often shown through the angels.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Good dreams are from Allah, and bad dreams are from Shaytan” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim).

Scholars explain that when a believer sleeps in a state of purity, remembering Allah, the angels are appointed to protect and bring peace. At that time, Allah may command the angels to inspire the heart and mind of the believer with good visions, or to show symbolic dreams that carry guidance, glad tidings, or warnings for benefit. These dreams may be clear or symbolic, but they always contain goodness, mercy, or a reminder that connects the person closer to Allah.

For example, some narrations mention that good dreams are a part of prophethood,

The Prophet ﷺ said: “The righteous dream is one of forty-six parts of Prophethood” (Sahih al-Bukhari).

This shows that angels, by Allah’s command, deliver dreams as a form of spiritual guidance and as a way to strengthen a believer’s faith. In short, angels act as a means through which Allah sends good dreams, bringing comfort, guidance, and light to the heart of the believer.

NAFSANI (DREAMS FROM ONE’S OWN SELF): These dreams come from our own mind, thoughts, and daily experiences. What we think about often, worry about, or desire deeply can appear in our sleep. They may not carry any spiritual message but rather reflect what is inside our hearts and minds. For example, a student may dream about exams, or a businessman about his work. These are natural and usually fade quickly.

Psychological Influence on Dreams (Nafsani Dreams)

Nafsani dreams are those that come from a person’s own self their thoughts, emotions, and daily life experiences. These dreams are not from Allah or Shaytan but from the mind itself. Psychology explains that when the brain rests during sleep, it processes the information, feelings, and memories stored in the subconscious. This is why what we think about too much, worry about, or experience during the day often appears in our dreams. For example, if someone is stressed about an exam or work, they may see themselves struggling or failing in their sleep. Similarly, if a person is deeply attached to someone, they may see them repeatedly in their dreams.

Dreams from Past Memories: Sometimes dreams are simply a reflection of old memories. The brain, especially during deep sleep, recalls past events and experiences and replays them in the form of dreams. This could be a happy childhood moment, a painful incident, or even something small like a conversation or a place we once visited. These dreams are not spiritual messages but the mind’s way of revisiting and organizing stored information.

When Do Nafsani Dreams Occur Most: Nafsani dreams often occur when a person is overwhelmed with emotions, tired, or mentally occupied. They are more common after a busy or stressful day, or when someone goes to sleep thinking about a particular issue. Research shows that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is the stage where such dreams are most active, as this is when the brain processes emotions and thoughts. Islamically, scholars also explained that many dreams people see are simply from their nafs (self) and hold no spiritual meaning.

Shaitani (Dream from devil): These are disturbing, frightening, or confusing dreams created by Shaytan. His aim is to disturb the believer’s peace, cause fear, and weaken faith. Shaytan may show terrifying images, chase a person in their dream, or create false messages to mislead them. His mission behind these dreams is to make believers anxious, doubtful, or even fearful of turning to Allah. The Prophet ﷺ taught us not to share such dreams with others, but instead to seek protection by saying A‘udhu billahi min ash-shaytanir-rajim, spitting lightly to the left three times, and turning to the other side while sleeping.

PURPOSE OF SHAYTANI DREAMS

Shayṭānī dreams are dreams that come from Shayṭān with the intention to disturb, frighten, and weaken a believer. The Prophet ﷺ told us clearly: “The righteous dream is from Allah, and the bad dream is from Shayṭān.” (Bukhari, Muslim). This shows that Shayṭān has no real power over a believer except to whisper and to try to play with the mind through illusions. His goal in showing such dreams is never random it is always connected to his mission of misleading mankind.

One of the main purposes of Shayṭānī dreams is to create fear and anxiety. Fear is one of Shayṭān’s greatest tools because when a believer fears him, the heart forgets to rely on Allah. He shows terrifying images dark shadows, snakes, falling, being chased, or seeing loved ones harmed so that the person wakes up shaken and worried. But in reality, these dreams are empty tricks.

Allah says: “It is only Shayṭān who frightens his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me if you are true believers.” (Qur’an 3:175).

This means the believer must remember that fear belongs only to Allah, not to Shayṭān.

Another purpose of Shayṭānī dreams is to plant doubts. Shayṭān sometimes shows dreams that make a person question their faith, marriage, family, or even Allah’s mercy. He may bring disturbing images of worship or twist Qur’anic recitation in the dream to confuse the believer. But this is only his whispering he wants the believer to lose trust in Allah’s guidance. The Prophet ﷺ taught us not to share such dreams with anyone, because they carry no meaning and only cause harm if spoken about.

Shayṭān also uses dreams to distract from worship. By showing nightmares or repeated bad dreams, he tries to make the believer afraid of sleeping or too tired for fajr. Sometimes he shows filthy or sinful images to disturb the purity of the heart. His aim is to occupy the mind so that the believer spends time worrying about a dream instead of focusing on dhikr and Qur’an.

Finally, Shayṭān uses dreams to break the believer’s spirit. He may try to convince a person that they are cursed, doomed, or always under attack. His mission is to weaken emaan so that the believer gives up hope. But Allah reminds us: “Indeed, My servants you (Shayṭān) have no authority over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.” (Qur’an 15:42). This is a clear proof that Shayṭān’s tricks are powerless against those who hold firmly to Allah.

So, the real purpose of Shayṭānī dreams is not just to scare but to distract, confuse, and mislead. A believer should never fear such dreams. Instead, they should respond with the sunnah: spit lightly to the left three times, seek refuge with Allah from Shayṭān, change the side of sleeping, and not narrate the dream to anyone. In this way, the dream becomes powerless, and the believer gains reward by following the Prophet’s guidance.

Purpose of Shayṭān in Bad Dreams for People with Sihr, Evil Eye, and Jinn Possession

Shayṭān knows that dreams can affect a person’s emotions, thoughts, and even relationships. That is why he uses bad dreams as a weapon against people who are already spiritually afflicted, such as those suffering from sihr (black magic), evil eye, or jinn possession. His goal is not only to disturb their sleep, but also to break their faith, create doubts, and destroy peace in their lives.

Creating Doubt and Mistrust in Relationships

Shayṭān shows disturbing images in dreams, like a wife seeing her husband with another woman or a husband dreaming that his wife is being unfaithful. These dreams are not reality, but they plant suspicion and jealousy. The next day, arguments begin without any reason, families break apart, and the victim feels emotionally drained. This is one of the strongest tricks Shayṭān uses, because breaking a family is one of his greatest achievements.

Forcing Victims to Re-Experience Sihr

In cases of sihr, Shayṭān makes the victim dream of eating or drinking the same things used in the magic. For example, if sihr was done with food, the jinn may force the person in dreams to eat that food again. This is a way to “renew” the effect of sihr and keep the victim trapped in its cycle, even while sleeping.

Fear and Helplessness

Victims of jinn possession often see terrifying creatures, shadows, or feel attacks in their sleep. Shayṭān does this to increase fear, make them feel weak, and stop them from turning to Allah. He wants them to believe that the jinn has more control over them than Allah does, which is a lie.

Blocking Healing and Ruqyah

Sometimes Shayṭān shows dreams where the patient feels that ruqyah is not working, or they see the raaqi harming them. This is meant to stop them from continuing treatment, because Shayṭān fears the Qur’an.

Corrupting Faith and Hope

Shayṭān wants afflicted people to wake up feeling hopeless. If a person loses hope in Allah’s mercy and healing, they become weaker, and the jinn or sihr affects them more. These dreams are not random they are carefully designed attacks to steal the victim’s peace, faith, and patience.

SLEEP PARALYSIS AND ITS CONNECTION TO SHAYṬĀN

Sleep paralysis is a strange and often frightening experience where a person wakes up but cannot move or speak. Many people describe feeling a heavy weight on their chest, seeing dark figures in the room, or sensing an evil presence. From an Islamic perspective, this experience can be linked to shayṭān and his attempts to disturb or frighten believers, especially when a person is in a state between sleep and wakefulness. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that shayṭān flows through the body of man like blood, so he tries to take advantage of weak moments, including during sleep.

Sleep paralysis does not always mean a person is possessed. It can happen to anyone due to tiredness, irregular sleep patterns, or physical weakness. However, when it repeats often or is accompanied by terrifying visions and suffocating pressure, it can also be a sign that shayṭān is trying to attack, frighten, or weaken a person spiritually. In some cases, people who are afflicted with sihr (magic), evil eye, or jinn possession may experience it more frequently because the jinn are directly disturbing their rest.

Shayṭān’s purpose in causing sleep paralysis is to instill fear, confusion, and hopelessness. Fear weakens the heart and makes a person more vulnerable to whispers and doubts. He wants the believer to wake up anxious, skip their morning adhkaar, or doubt the protection of Allah. Sometimes shayṭān also uses it as a form of oppression on those who are already spiritually afflicted, trying to break their strength by denying them peaceful sleep.

The best protection from recurring sleep paralysis is seeking refuge in Allah. Reciting Ayat al-Kursi before sleeping, making wudhu, reciting the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah, Surah al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq, and an-Nās, and blowing over oneself are powerful protections taught by the Prophet ﷺ. Sleeping on the right side and remembering Allah until sleep also closes the door for shayṭān. For those who already experience it, increasing dhikr, being consistent with morning and evening adhkaar, and keeping away from sins weakens the grip of shayṭān.

In short, sleep paralysis can happen to anyone due to natural causes, but shayṭān often uses it as a tool to frighten and disturb the believer. Recognizing it for what it is helps remove the fear, and holding firmly to Allah’s protection ensures that shayṭān’s tricks have no lasting effect.

WHY SHAITANS TARGETS SLEEP

Shayṭān targets a believer’s sleep because sleep is a state of rest, vulnerability, and renewal. When a person sleeps, the body relaxes, the mind disconnects from worldly distractions, and the soul partially departs in barzakh-like form, as mentioned in the Qur’an (Az-Zumar 39:42).

This moment of rest is an opportunity for the believer to recharge spiritually and physically. Shayṭān, out of jealousy and enmity, seeks to corrupt even this natural blessing from Allah. He aims to disturb sleep through frightening dreams, whispers, or even physical discomfort, so that the believer wakes up anxious, fearful, or unrested. By doing this, he hopes the person begins their day weak in worship, irritable with family, or negligent of remembrance.

For those afflicted with sihr, evil eye, or jinn possession, Shayṭān intensifies disturbances at night, as silence and darkness make the heart more prone to fear. Thus, the purpose behind targeting sleep is to rob the believer of peace, weaken their resilience, and make them start their day spiritually drained instead of refreshed in the obedience of Allah.

Shayṭān tries to disturb sleep because night is a special time when a believer can get close to Allah through peace, rest, or night prayers like tahajjud. By causing nightmares, sleep paralysis, or restlessness, he hopes to stop people from waking up for worship and to make them afraid of sleeping. He takes advantage of the moments when a person is half-awake and half-asleep, making them feel stuck, see strange images, or hear scary sounds. This fear can stay with the person, making them anxious about darkness, sleeping alone, or even forgetting to recite Qur’an before bed. His goal is to make sleep feel like a time of fear instead of comfort. Sometimes, he also tries to confuse people into thinking they are always under attack, so that they become stressed and lose hope. In truth, Shayṭān has no real power over the soul; he only tries to weaken faith by creating fear and doubt.

DREAMS AND SPIRITUAL AFFLICTIONS

Dreams are not just random images in the mind; sometimes they can reflect deeper spiritual realities. When a person is affected by sihr (black magic), ayn (evil eye), or jinn disturbances, their dreams often reveal signs that something unusual is happening. These dreams are not ordinary but repetitive, heavy, and frightening, leaving the person restless even after waking up.

One of the most common patterns is seeing snakes. Snakes in dreams often symbolize hidden enemies, sihr, or jinn presence. For example, many patients who later discovered taweez (black magic charms) in their homes first reported seeing black or green snakes attacking them in dreams. In one real case, a woman repeatedly saw snakes biting her feet, she felt extremely sick after seeing this dream and later during ruqyah, she vomited eaten sihr

Another disturbing sign is dreams of falling from heights. This often shows a lack of stability caused by spiritual harm. A brother once shared that he dreamt of falling from tall building, from a high mountain many times in dream at night. When ruqyah was done, the jinn inside him confessed that they were sent to destroy his financial stability confidence and keep him in constant fear.

Being chased is also very common in afflicted individuals. They often see dotalllion, cow, shadows, or strange figures running after them. A young girl once said she always dreamt of being chased by a tall black figure. After ruqyah, she realized it was the same jinn that had been causing her anxiety and sleep paralysis and many other issues.

Some also see graveyards, blood, dead bodies, or dark oceans in dreams. These reflect the heaviness of sihr or the work of shayṭān to scare them. One man repeatedly dreamt of drowning in dark water. After ruqyah, he discovered a pot of sihr buried near his house with dead animal remains inside.

On the other hand, those afflicted with ayn (evil eye) often dream of broken things, big Eyes watching them losing valuables, or being humiliated in public. For example, a student who was envied for his intelligence dreamt that his books were always being torn apart in dreams. When treated, the symptoms of constant headaches and laziness disappeared.

These dream signs don’t always mean a person is afflicted, but when they occur repeatedly and are paired with real-life symptoms like unexplained illnesses, fear, or sudden failures, it strongly suggests a spiritual problem. Through ruqyah and seeking Allah’s help, many people have found peace and seen these disturbing dreams replaced with calm and hopeful visions.

TEMPTATION THROUGH DESIRES IN DREAMS

One of the most deceptive tricks of shayṭān and lustful jinn is to attack a person through their desires, especially when they are asleep and most vulnerable. Many people experience disturbing dreams of zina, adultery, or sexual acts that they never intended or thought about while awake. These dreams are not just normal imagination often they are a form of spiritual assault. For example, some patients dream of being forced into adultery, or find themselves committing zina in a dream against their will. In reality, this is the influence of a lustful jinn or shayṭān, who takes advantage of the dream state to cause corruption, shame, and guilt in the believer’s heart.

In more severe cases, the patient may experience what is known as “sexual assault by jinn.” The dreamer feels as if someone is having relations with them, and when they wake up, they feel physical pain, tiredness, or heaviness in the body as if something truly happened. Some even wake up with bruises, blue or black marks on the thighs, shoulders, chest, or neck, with no physical explanation. Others wake up with a sensation of touch, pressure, or unusual discharge. This is a sign that the attack was not just psychological, but physical — carried out by lustful jinn who force themselves on humans to fulfill their desires.

Another layer of this temptation is when a person constantly sees dreams of zina with strangers, relatives, or even non-maḥram people they know. The goal of shayṭān is to plant lust, break moral boundaries, and make the person feel dirty or sinful, even if the dreamer never consented. Sometimes, these disturbing dreams repeat night after night, leaving the patient exhausted and ashamed. Many hesitate to share this due to embarrassment, but it is a real form of spiritual affliction that must be addressed.

The consequences are serious: a believer may begin to struggle with unusual temptations during the day, random lustful thoughts, or feelings of attachment to someone they never desired before. In many cases, this is the result of lustful jinn trying to bind the person emotionally or sexually. These jinn often whisper during the day, pushing towards haram relationships, pornography, or zina, using the dream as a tool to weaken the person’s guard.

Protecting oneself requires strong tawḥeed and strict adherence to the daily adhkār, especially before sleeping. Sleeping in a state of wuḍū, reciting Āyat al-Kursī, and the last two verses of Surah Baqarah are powerful shields. Ruqyah water and oil can also be used, along with supplications seeking protection from evil dreams. Most importantly, one should never feel guilt over such dreams, because they are not the person’s fault rather, they are an attack from the unseen. Seeking help through Qur’ān, duʿā, and ruqyah brings relief, and over time the jinn lose their power when the believer’s īmān grows stronger.

HIDDEN REASONS BEHIND SEXUAL AND IMMORAL DREAM ATTACKS

Many people wonder why only some girls or boys are targeted with lustful and tempting dreams, while others are spared. The reality is that such disturbing experiences usually happen because the person becomes vulnerable spiritually and physically. One of the main reasons is that magicians often send lustful jinn to harm or control the victim. These jinn take advantage of weak spots in the person’s life, such as neglecting morning and evening adhkaars, which act as a shield of protection. When these adhkaars are not recited regularly, the heart and body remain exposed to shayṭān’s whispers and attacks.

Another reason is lack of modesty when girls do not wear proper hijab, or dress and behave without haya (modesty), it attracts the attention of shayateen who thrive on lust and immorality. Staying far away from the Qur’an, avoiding prayer, and neglecting remembrance of Allah weakens the soul, making it easier for lustful jinn to attack in dreams.

In many cases, individuals who live in impurity, such as delaying ghusl after janabah (major impurity) or menstruation, also find themselves more prone to such dreams because jinn prefer unclean environments and impure states. These jinn may show themselves in dreams as if committing zina with the person, or forcing them into immoral acts, and when the dreamer wakes up, they often feel physical pain or find strange marks like bruises in blue, green, or black shades, especially on thighs, shoulders, or chest. Sometimes, a person is shown scenes of adultery or is tempted with immoral desires repeatedly in dreams, which slowly weakens their emaan and makes them fall into actual sins.

Other reasons include living in constant sin such as listening to haram music, watching immoral content, or maintaining secret relationships, which opens a doorway for shayateen to influence the mind and heart. Carrying amulets, taweez, or charms from magicians can also bind lustful jinn to the victim, causing long-term disturbances in their spiritual and personal life. Even jealousy and envy from others can lead magicians to send lustful jinn as a form of sihr, targeting the person’s chastity and peace of mind. What makes this issue more serious is that it is rarely spoken about openly, even though many young men and women suffer silently with shame, not realizing that these dreams are often signs of a spiritual affliction rather than just imagination.

WHY RUQYAH PATIENTS FACE STRONG ATTACKS FROM JINN

When a person begins Ruqyah treatment, it often becomes the turning point in their spiritual healing journey. But it is also the time when attacks from jinn, shayateen, and sihr become the strongest. This happens because the enemy realizes that its control is slipping away. Magicians and their jinn allies know that Ruqyah shariah recitation of Qur’an and authentic supplications burns and destroys their influence. As a result, they intensify their efforts to frighten, harm, or mislead the patient so that they abandon the treatment.

Ruqyah patients may face nightmares, sleep paralysis, whispers (waswas), sudden fear, heaviness in the body, or unusual health problems during their healing. These attacks are not signs of weakness; rather, they are signs that the treatment is working and the hidden enemy is resisting. Just as medicine causes reactions when fighting a strong infection, the Qur’an causes strong reactions when fighting unseen evil.

The main reasons why ruqyah patien”s face such attacks include:

• Magicians sending jinn to re-establish control after their sihr begins to weaken.
• Weak protection due to neglecting morning and evening adhkaars.
• Lack of modesty and hijab, which makes the person more vulnerable to lustful jinn attacks.
• Distance from the Qur’an and salah, leaving the heart empty of light and dhikr.
• Living in impurity, such as neglecting ghusl and wudhu, which attracts shayateen.
• Weak aqeedah, where patients doubt Allah’s power and fear the enemy more than the Creator.

The attacks are a test of patience and faith. If the patient stays firm, recites Qur’an daily, strengthens tawheed, and surrounds themselves with protection through adhkaar and dua, the enemy eventually collapses. No sihr, no jinn, and no magician can ever overpower the words of Allah.

Ruqyah patients must understand: the stronger the attack, the closer they are to freedom. With consistency, sabr, and trust in Allah, every chain of sihr will break, every jinn will flee, and healing will come.

FINAL LESSON: STANDING FIRM AGAINST JINN ATTACKS

When a person begins ruqyah, it is like declaring war against the unseen enemies who have lived comfortably in their life for years. Naturally, the jinn do not give up easily. They resist, fight back, and try to scare the patient through dreams, physical pain, whisperings, or even strange incidents around them. But one must understand these attacks are not a sign of failure; they are proof that the healing is working and the enemy is being disturbed.

The final lesson for every ruqyah patient is sabr (patience), istiqamah (steadfastness), and trust in Allah. Healing is not always instant; sometimes it takes days, weeks, or even months of consistent Qur’an recitation, adhkaar, and purification of one’s life. The stronger the connection to Allah, the weaker the hold of the jinn becomes.

Patients must also realize that jinn attacks are a test of faith. If they remain firm, increase in worship, protect themselves with morning and evening adhkaar, avoid sins, and keep their hearts attached to the Qur’an, then the shayateen eventually lose their power. Just like darkness cannot survive in front of light, jinn cannot survive before the believer whose heart is filled with tawheed and Qur’an.

In the end, the greatest weapon is tawakkul upon Allah. No jinn, no magician, and no sihr can overpower the one whom Allah protects. The journey of ruqyah is not just about removing affliction it is about building a stronger bond with Allah and becoming spiritually resilient for life.

NOTE: The answers to these FAQs apply only if the dreams are recurring continuously and especially when the disturbing dreams appear mostly after Fajr. If such dreams occur only once and do not affect your life in any way, then they are simply from Shayṭān, whose only aim is to scare and disturb mankind.
