Zakat (Obligatory Alms) زكاة

In a dream it signifies an increase in wealth and its multiplication. Whoever sees that he is paying the zakat on his wealth, it signifies its growth, abundance and increase in that year.

Whoever sees that he is paying the zakat on his wealth as God the Exalted has prescribed for him: if he is rich, he will obtain wealth and blessing and will perform the prayers at their proper times. Zakat on wealth paid by people of means signifies goodness and protection from enemies. Sometimes zakat signifies night vigil prayers (tahajjud) and much voluntary fasting. Sometimes paying out zakat signifies a financial penalty (a loss to be paid), sometimes the death of someone dear to him, and sometimes the loss of one of his limbs. Sometimes zakat signifies a beneficial loan, and sometimes paying out zakat signifies settling a debt. Thus zakat on wealth may signify an increase in it. Zakat signifies many benefits and comforts, a rise in rank, and the warding off of afflictions.

Whoever sees that he is distributing zakat, God the Exalted will make his affairs easy for him and grant him repentance.

Whoever sees that he paid the zakat al-fitr (the alms given at the end of Ramadan), he will pray and glorify God abundantly, will pay off a debt if he owes one, and no illness or ailment will befall him that year. Zakat al-fitr in a dream is a gain if it is in one of the kinds of goods from which zakat must be given. Zakat on minerals and on found property is good news of an additional child or wife. If the dreamer is poor, it gives him the good news that his righteous deeds will be accepted, and of his repentance if he is a sinner, and God the Exalted will provide him with lawful wealth. If he is an unbeliever, he will embrace Islam and become one of the people who pay zakat.

(Visiting the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream, and other visits) Visiting him signifies seeking God the Exalted’s love through righteous deeds, and signifies safety from fear, nearness to great people, high standing, friendliness toward scholars and nobles, allegiance to the Prophet’s household (Ahl al-Bayt), and love for those who love them. Sometimes it signifies desire, knowledge and right guidance. Visiting Jerusalem (Bayt al-Maqdis) in a dream signifies blessing and gaining insight into sciences and extraordinary secrets. Visiting (the shrine of) Abraham the Friend of God, peace be upon him, signifies obedience to one’s parents, kindness toward them and endearing oneself to them in word and deed. Sometimes it signifies striving in the pursuit of knowledge, and sometimes love for the people of goodness and obedience and attaining from them what one hopes for of the good of this world and the Hereafter.
