The Muslim afterworld, with its imagery rich in sensual promises,
has shaped Western perceptions of Islam for centuries. However, to
date, no single study has done justice to the full spectrum of
traditions of thinking about the topic in Islamic history. The
Muslim hell, in particular, remains a little studied subject. This
book, which is based on a wide array of carefully selected Arabic
and Persian texts, covers not only the theological and exegetical
but also the philosophical, mystical, topographical, architectural
and ritual aspects of the Muslim belief in paradise and hell, in
both the Sunni and the Shi'i world. By examining a broad range of
sources related to the afterlife, Christian Lange shows that Muslim
religious literature, against transcendentalist assumptions to the
contrary, often pictures the boundary between this world and the
otherworld as being remarkably thin, or even permeable.
