I was able to continue my research in Egypt until May 1989 thanks to the financial support of my husband, Steve Ladd, family, and friends. 'The most recent and faithful study of contemporary Egyptian Sufism (Earle H. Waugh, The Mun-shidin of Egypt: Their World and Their Song [Columbia, S.C., 1989]), says that the goal of the individual in dhikr is fane?, which he interprets as trance, a highly individualistic striving for union with God, whereas contemporary Egyptian Sufism is much more communalistic in its interpretation and goals, and associates fane? with love and identification, not with trance.",
