This longstanding and highly regarded volume is the first to
explore the doctrine of prophetic revelation, a critical and
definitive area of Islamic religious and political thought. In it,
the esteemed Islamic scholar Fazlur Rahman traces the inception of
this doctrine from ancient Greek texts, its interpretation and
elaboration by Muslim philosophers in order to suit their vision of
the Prophet, and, finally, the varying degrees of acceptance of
these convergent ideas by the Muslim orthodoxy.
The latest edition of this classic text includes a new foreword by
Islamic studies expert Michael Sells, confirming "Prophecy in
Islam" as the best source on its subject after more than half a
century. This longstanding and highly regarded volume is the first
