Out of these fertile contexts sprang two very influential sets of ascension discourses: First, the growth of the \"Perfect and Complete\" version of the Islamic ascension tale that spread throughout the Muslim world; second, the complex and multidimensional mystical interpretations of Muhammad's journey by one of the most famous Sufis of all time, the \"Grand Master\" Muhyi al-Din Ibn ‘Arabi (d. 1240 CE). This work surveys key sources of this Andalusi contemplative tradition and also includes a complete translation of one of its very earliest written texts, preserved in a unique fragmentary Arabic manuscript, making this important historical document accessible to scholars, students, and general audiences alike for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55554892005720,"sku":"9798855800753","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9798855800753.jpg?v=1777986968","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/muhammads-ascension-in-muslim-spain","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
