This book examines how an elite group of traditionists, historians and theologians shaped Muslims'' perceptions of their prophet, their community and their behavior by retelling and interpreting the story of Muhammad''s ascent to heaven (the mi''raj).
Focusing on issues of interpretation, this book collects and translates a number of medieval mi'raj accounts. The study provides readers access to the documentation and translation of these lesser-known Arabic texts, and uncovers their role in building a meaningful, cohesive and coherent Muslim community in medieval times.
