Using original sources in the various Islamic languages, Annemarie Schimmel explains the central place of Muhammad in Muslim life, mystical thought, and poetry. She sees the veneration of Muhammad as having many parallels in other major religions. 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 first 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. Review: This book is probably the best work available in the English language on how traditional ... - This book is probably the best work available in the English language on how traditional Muslims see their leader and spiritual guide. Using original sources, Annemarie Schimmel has done an excellent job explaining the central place of of the Prophet (saw) in Muslim life and Sufi mystical thought. Review: Excellent Celebration of the Life of the Last Prophet - Annemarie Schimmel has studied Islam for years, writing many important books particularly on the subject of Islamic spirituality. The aim of this book is to explore the love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Islamic society. With samples of poetry and prose in praise of the Prophet, it captures some of the affection Muslims have for the man they revere as the "Mercy to Mankind." Although some biographical details appear, the book is not a biography per se. Instead the book represents a historical analysis of Prophet Muhammad's unique place in the life of his followers. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #703,241 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #224 in Muhammed in Islam #2,450 in Black & African American Biographies #3,476 in Religious Leader Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 26 Reviews | ## Images ![And Muhammad Is His Messenger: The Veneration of the Prophet in Islamic Piety (Studies in Religion) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716yRwDnjeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is probably the best work available in the English language on how traditional ... *by A***R on July 19, 2017* This book is probably the best work available in the English language on how traditional Muslims see their leader and spiritual guide.
