Focusing on the often-overlooked significance of dreams in Islamic culture, this book examines how night dreams influence decision-making and reflect historical traditions predating Islam. The author delves into Islamic dream theory, highlighting its relevance for modern Muslims and exploring the implications of dreams in the context of contemporary conflicts, including the ideologies of groups like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. By analyzing the psychological and cultural dimensions of these dreams, the work offers insights into their role in shaping political and personal narratives in the Middle East.
