A Companion of the Prophet Muḥammad, Ṭalḥa had a contested legacy among different Muslim groups, being venerated by Sunnīs and vilified by the Shīʿa and Khārijīs. This article explores these early Islamic divisions through the lens of literary depictions of, and rituals involving, a strongly potent object within the late antique world: a holy person's corpse, in this case that of the prominent early Muslim Ṭalḥa b. To find the true meaning of a dream is then to support a broader quest for knowledge.īetween the seventh and ninth centuries C.E., different Muslim sectarian groups fashioned their respective communal identities through differing rituals, narratives, and conceptions of Islamic history. Its actual scope is the recovery of an original epistemic content merely clothed in dream images.

Moreover, Islam’s true tradition of dream interpretation is only marginally interested in divination. Whereas a fundamentalist mind is essentially focused on literal dream interpretation (in the same way as it accepts only literal Qur’ānic exegesis), classical Islamic oneiromancy reveals itself as a highly complex and dynamical discipline that can be used to suggest that the dreams of crashing planes may have been a warning rather than a divine legitimization of terrorist acts. The essay's goal is to use classical Islamic scholarship to counter the simplistic - and highly manipulative - interpretation assigned to said dreams by Bin Laden. This essay is an assessment of a number of dreams discussed by Bin Laden and some of his followers (dreams that allegedly anticipated and thus validated the September 11th, 2001 attacks) in the light of scripturally based Islamic oneiromancy.
