Chosen Islamic Manners

'If one of you sees a discomforting dream, let him spit three times to his left and seek refuge with Allah from Satan. Let him turn to the other side.' (Ibn Majah)
*Imam al-Baghawi, may Allah have mercy on him, stated that the interpretation of dreams is of different categories. It may be interpreted in light of something in the Qur'an, or something in the Sunnah. It may also be interpreted in light of popular idioms or proverbs common among people. It may be interpreted in light of names and meanings, or with the opposite of what one has seen.

a. Interpretation in light of the Qur'an: If one sees a rope, it can possibly mean 'the covenant'; this is taken from the words of Allah:

And hold fast, all together, unto the covenant of Allah.

b. Interpretation in light of the Sunnah: If one sees a crow in his dream, it can be interpreted to mean a faasiq (i.e. a sinful man) for the Prophet () called the crow a 'faasiq'.

c. Interpretation in light of idioms: If one sees one digging a hole, this could signify 'cunningness'.

d. Interpretation in light of names: If one sees in his dream a man whose name is 'Rashid' (which means rightly guided) it could be a reference to guidance.

e. Interpretation with the opposite: If one senses fear in his dream, it could be interpreted as safety and security. Allah says:

He will cause their erstwhile state of fear to be replaced by a sense of security.

Guidelines to Follow When One Wears Clothes
*It is compulsory upon an individual to cover their Awrah (i.e. private region).
*One should cover himself when showering or bathing. The Prophet () said:

'Indeed Allah loves modesty and shyness and loves for His slaves to cover themselves. So if one of you takes a shower, let him cover himself.' (Abu Dawood)
