Question

I have had a few dreams in the past year regarding a particular person and I wanted to know if they are baseless or significant.

1. I saw myself lying in bed with this person with his arms around me and we were both very happy and he made me feel very protected. I told him I had to leave but he insisted that I stay with him a bit longer and so I did and was quite happy to do so. I was very comfortable and happy in this dream.

2. I saw someone telling me that she knows the name of the person I am meant to get married to and she tries to show me the name but I cannot see it, but then she hints at the fact that it will be this same guy.

3. I saw my mom telling me she would be very happy if I chose to marry him because she is very fond of him.

4. I saw my brother trying to convince me that he would be a good match for me and that I should go for it.

I just want to know if these are just reflections of my thoughts because this individual is someone I have considered for the sake of marriage but have not taken any action towards yet. Or is there some deeper meaning behind these dreams?

Answer

If you and your parents are pleased with the person's Deen, character and mannerisms, then you may get married to him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
