Descriere

The Wiley–Blackwell Companion to Islamic Spirituality is an authoritative reference for the field, edited by two of its most prominent scholars. Spirituality has a long and important history within Islam; unlike other religions, a focus on spirituality is required of every adherent and not just a select few. Each Muslim is required to achieve a state of devotion through ritual prayer, fasting, recitations, pilgrimage, and asceticism. The essays in this comprehensive volume explain the historical role of spirituality from the founding of Islam, to the rise of Sufism, through to the present day.  
Bringing together a stellar cast of contributors, the volume covers key expressive and performative dimensions of Islamic spirituality, including religious practice, texts, architecture and place, music, poetry, and politics. It reflects important new research, as well as discussing contemporary debates and issues affecting spirituality, such as the internet, social justice, the role of women, ethics, and terrorism.  From the personal to the political, the essays in this volume offer a revitalized view of all aspects of spirituality in Islam.
