Dreaming of one's deceased father

Question

Last night I saw my dead father in the state of ihram planting a plant in the fertile soil. What does that mean?

Answer

It is a good dream. It refers to the rewards of the Hereafter. May Allah Ta'ala grant him the highest stages in the Aakhirah. You should recite a portion of the Qur'an or give some sadaqah and convey the reward to your deceased father.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
