Topic of Dreams in

(1) Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is
no fear, nor shall they grieve; Those who believe and (constantly) guard
against evil;- For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and
in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah. This is indeed
the supreme felicity.

Younus 10:64)

(2) Behold! Joseph said to his father: "O my
father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate
themselves to me." He said: O my son! do not relate your vision to your
brothers, lest they devise a plan against you; surely the Shaitan is an open
enemy to man. And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the
interpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to you and to the
children of Yaqoub, as He made it complete before to your fathers, Ibrahim and
Ishaq; surely your Lord is Knowing, Wise.
(Surah
Yusuf 12:4-6)
(3) Now with him there came into the prison two
young men. Said one of them: "I see myself (in a dream) pressing
wine." said the other: "I see myself (in a dream) carrying bread on
my head, and birds are eating, thereof." "Tell us" (they said)
"The truth and meaning thereof: for we see thou art one that doth good (to
all)." He said: "Before any food comes (in due course) to feed either
of you, I will surely reveal to you the truth and meaning of this ere it befall
you: that is part of the (duty) which my Lord hath taught me. I have (I assure
you) abandoned the ways of a people that believe not in Allah and that (even)
deny the Hereafter.
(Surah
Yusuf 12:36-37)
(4) The king (of Egypt) said: "I do see (in a
vision) seven fat kine, whom seven lean ones devour, and seven green ears of

dreams (مﻼﺣا ثﺎﻐﺿا ): and we are not skilled in the interpretation of dreams."
(Surah
Yusuf 12:43-44)
(5) Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
