In order to understand Muslim piety it is necessary to take into account the long history of the veneration of Muhammad. Schimmel discusses aspects of his life, birth, marriage, miracles, and heavenly journey, all of which became subjects for religious devotions. By using poetic texts and artistic expressions and by examining daily Muslim religious practices, Schimmel shows us the gentler side of Islamic religious culture, providing a much-needed understanding of religion as it is experienced and practiced in the Islamic world. This is the fi rst book in English to deal with all aspects of the veneration of the Prophet Muhammad. It is an expanded version of Schimmel’s Und Muhammad Ist Sein Prophet, originally published in German in 1981.
