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of one of its very earliest written texts, preserved in a unique fragmentary Arabic manuscript, making this important historical document accessible to scholars, students, and general audiences alike for the very first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57581814841726,"sku":"NW9798855800746","price":68.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9798855800746.jpg?v=1783338961","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/mu-ammads-ascension-in-muslim-spain-el","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
