What is the interpretation of my dream?
Question
I have a question regarding istikhara i performed regarding a proposal i would like to make for marriage to a girl i know. I performed the prayer for 4 days straight and the 5th i decided to leave it and that very night after fajr salah i went back to sleep and saw a dream in which i was travelling in a car with the very girl i would like to propose to.
As we turnd the road i saw all green hills as we were on a high road and the steering wheel which i was using stopped working and i was unable to turn which led the car falling off road and down a high hill, in the car i was reciting my shahada as i felt we would not survive this, i looked over and held the girls hand and told her i love her and if i could i would love to marry her and her lips were reciting the kalima too as i kissed her hand we did not hit the ground instead my dream went blank and there was noting but black and i woke up.
Please can u advise me on the interpretation if you can as im Unsure if its good or bad.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, after making Istikhārah, if you feel inclined towards a particular option then after making Mashwarah you should go forward with that inclination. The dream in reference seems to be a good sign as you both were reciting the Kalimah. The falling of the car refers to the hardships of life and the recital of the kalimah refers to reliance in Allah during such hardship. However, marriage is a very important choice in life and requires great thought before committing to it.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
