Summary: This authoritative account of the life and teachings of the ninth-century Muslim saint, Rabi‘a, represents the first complete biography of this unique individual. Discussing the place of Rabi‘a in Islamic tradition, Dr Smith also offers a survey of the female saints and mystics of the Muslim world, providing an unusual insight into women’s impressive contribution to the rich heritage of Islam.
