A groundbreaking anthropological analysis of Islam as experienced
by Muslims, "By Noon Prayer" builds a conceptual model of Islam as
a whole, while traveling along a comparative path of biblical,
Egyptological, ethnographic, poetic, scriptural, and visual
materials. Grounded in long-term observation of Arabo-Islamic
culture and society, this study captures the rhythm of Islam
weaving through the lives of Muslim women and men. Examples of the
rhythmic nature of Islam can be seen in all aspects of Muslims'
everyday lives. Muslims break their Ramadan fast upon the sun
setting, and they receive Ramadan by sighting the new moon. Prayer
for their dead is by noon and burial is before sunset. This is
space and time in Islam--moon, sun, dawn and sunset are all part of
a unique and unified rhythm, interweaving the sacred and the
ordinary, nature and culture in a pattern that is
characteristically Islamic.
