In Islam, dreaming is not forbidden.

 

In Islam, dreaming is not forbidden. In fact, a dream is just a strong desire, a mental image of what a person aspires to. Islam does not forbid setting goals and dreaming about something permissible: for example, performing the Hajj, studying the Koran, starting a family, or professional growth. Such dreams can be a blessing if they motivate you to do useful things and don't distract you from the really important things.

Not all dreams are equally useful. The problem arises when a person is immersed in empty, impossible dreams. In the Islamic tradition, there is a special term for this — "tulul amal" (great hopes and long aspirations that are unlikely to come true). The Prophet Muhammad warned against this: when a person lives in fantasies instead of active actions, he risks missing out on opportunities in real life. darulfikr.ru alif.tv It is important to control the content. Dreams that are associated with base desires, lust, or other harm are forbidden. You should also be attentive to your thoughts.: does any dream incite laziness, despondency, or, conversely, pride? liveexpert.org Balance is the key to harmony. Islam teaches us not to put dreams above our responsibilities to God and people. The main goal of a believer is the satisfaction of the Almighty, and no worldly aspirations should obscure this. At the same time, a person should not passively wait for a miracle: if there is an opportunity to act, you need to act. A sincere dua (prayer to Allah) often stands between a dream and its realization. There are instructions in the hadith: for example, if a person desires something, he is advised to first reflect on how much it is really necessary, and at the same time turn to Allah.

Thus, Islam urges not to "get stuck" in dreams, but to use them as an incentive for good deeds, while maintaining a sober view of reality and not forgetting the main thing — the desire for the satisfaction of the Creator.
