The Prophet's Ascension: Cross-Cultural Encounters with the Islamic Mi'raj Tales
Christiane J Gruber
The tales of the mi'raj describe the prophet Muhammad's journey through the heavens, his encounters with prophets and angels, and his visit to heaven and hell. This book discusses the formation of this narrative, the mi'raj as a missionary text, its various adaptations, its application to esoteric thought, and its use in performance and ritual.
