Money in a dream represents worldly wealth, means of livelihood, and the test of material possessions.
General Meaning
Money in Islamic dream interpretation represents worldly wealth, provision, and the means of livelihood. However, money also represents a test — how one earns and spends it determines its spiritual significance. The condition and amount of money carry meaning.
