One consequence of defining Islamic studies within this vicious circle is that a majority of the current generation of Islamic historians believes that the study of Arabic legal, theological or historical texts from the eighth to the nineteenth centuries is good enough to define ‘native’ Islamic civilisation. Edgar deconstructs that old approach, and brings to the task considerable expertise in social science methodology. Subsequent case studies on dream narratives will benefit immensely from his imagination-based research methods.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Political Studies Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Edgar has brought to light a genuinely important phenomenon with potentially major consequences.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Journal of Anthropological Research\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Edgar has done us all a tremendous service by devoting his considerable skills as a social anthropologist to the study of this fascinating nexus of dreaming, religion, politics, and interpretive philosophy… The dramatic appeal of Edgar’s book comes with his groundbreaking account as a source of inspiration for Mullah Omar, Osama bin Laden and their militant jihadist followers.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Dream Time Magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eForeword: \u003c\/strong\u003eAnthropological scepticism encounters dreamt realities following fieldwork in Pakistan\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eDr. Steve Lyon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eEthnographic case studies from Pakistan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \tFeeding people\u003cbr\u003e \tDreaming of the Qur’an\u003cbr\u003e \tAssumptions of validity and meaningfulness\u003cbr\u003e \tConclusion: the justificatory and motivational\u003cbr\u003e \tPower of dreams\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. context and history\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \tDreams as perceived metaphysical and divinatory knowledge in Islam\u003cbr\u003e \tDream Interpretation in Islam\u003cbr\u003e \tThe True dream across cultures\u003cbr\u003e \tPromised land dreams in Palestine and Kosovo\u003cbr\u003e \tSignificance of night dreams to Muslims in general\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.
