Dream interpretation of hazrat ibn sirin (may allah have mercy on him) said that seeing a pulpit in a dream is a sign of seeing the ruler of islam, and the goodness or evil seen in a pulpit is interpreted as relating to the ruler. if one sees that they have ascended the pulpit and delivered a sermon of wisdom and knowledge, and they are not among the scholars, it is a sign that their child or relative will become a scholar. if they see that they have recited poetry on the pulpit or spoken contrary to shariah, it indicates that they will be disgraced among muslims due to irreligion and innovation. some interpreters have stated that such a person will be hanged. if a king sees that he has ascended the pulpit and the pulpit falls or breaks, it is an indication that he will be removed from kingship. hazrat ibrahim karmani (may allah have mercy on him) said that if he sees that he has ascended the pulpit and descends after reading the entire sermon, it indicates that he will be removed from the position of orator. if a woman sees that she is giving people a sermon of wisdom and knowledge from the pulpit, it is an indication that she will be disgraced because it is not permissible for women to deliver sermons of wisdom and knowledge among people, and it is also not permissible for men to deliver them among women. if one sees that they have fallen from the pulpit, whether they are learned or ignorant, it indicates that they will fall from esteem and be humiliated and disgraced among people. hazrat jabir maghribi (may allah have mercy on him) said that if one sees that they have ascended the pulpit, it indicates that they will be a scholar, reformer, and pious person, gaining dignity, honor, and status. if they are corrupt, they will be caught stealing and hanged, and as much as the pulpit is large and pure, they will gain honor and status accordingly. hazrat jafar sadiq (may allah have mercy on him) said that seeing a pulpit in a dream has five reasons: (1) king (2) judge (3) imam (4) orator (5) hanging.
