Eventually they also helped to explain the widespread devotional practices surrounding the “Friends of God” (awliya’), such as the visitation of tomb-shrines, related annual festivals, and serving as intermediaries in our personal interactions with the spiritual world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis magisterial study of the centuries-long, slowly unfolding intellectual backdrop to those omnipresent spiritual practices and beliefs offers a progressive historical “mirror” reflecting the creative spread of all these popular practices and institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fons Vitae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40596077871139,"sku":"9781941610985","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_9091.jpg?v=1727860582","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/house-of-the-prophet-devotion-to-muhammad-in-islamic-mysticism","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
