RLST 059 CM - Dreams, Visions, and the Afterworld in Islamic Traditions Belief in the unseen and belief in the afterworld became accepted widely as two major tenets of Islamic theology. How Muslims envisioned and continue to envision the hidden is the subject of this course. We will examine a broad range of materials from a wide range of geographic areas and time periods—from artistic depictions to Sufi manuals, from messianic movements to Egyptian interpretations of Freud—to address paradigms of ‘seeing’ in these traditions. In our explorations, we will, too, trace how these visions relate to events on the plane of history. HRT II.
