Dream of Crow — Islamic Meaning
A crow in a dream represents a corrupt person, bad news, separation, or a journey. It is generally an inauspicious symbol.
General Meaning
The crow is mentioned in the Quran in the story of Qabil (Cain) and Habil (Abel). In Islamic dream interpretation, the crow often represents a corrupt or sinful person, bad news, separation from loved ones, or a long journey.
In Different Contexts
If you see a crow: You may hear unpleasant news or face separation. If a crow speaks to you: You may receive news that causes you to travel or take action. If a crow caws: You may receive a warning or hear troubling news. If you kill a crow: You will overcome a corrupt influence or avoid bad news. If many crows gather: A gathering of corrupt people or troubling events.
Ibn Sirin's Interpretation
Ibn Sirin taught that the crow represents a corrupt man, a dissolute person, or an Arab who is far from his family. The crow's black colour and its association with separation in the story of Qabil and Habil give it negative connotations.
Positive and Negative Connotations
Positive signs: Killing a crow, a crow flying away from you, scaring away a crow. Cautionary signs: A crow cawing near you, a crow entering your house, many crows gathering.

Q: What if I see a white crow? A: A white crow is extremely rare and may represent an unusual person — one who is different from their corrupt surroundings. It may be a sign of a righteous person in a corrupt environment.
