This volume is concerned with the origins, development and
character of ritual in Islam. The focus is upon the rituals
associated with the five 'pillars of Islam': the credal formula,
prayer, alms, fasting and pilgrimage. Since the 19th century
academic scholarship has sought to investigate Muslim rituals from
the point of view of history, the study of religion, and the social
sciences, and a set of the most important and influential
contributions to this debate, some of them translated into English
for the first time, is brought together here. Participation in the
ritual life of Islam is for most Muslims the predominant expression
of their adherence to the faith and of their religious identity.
The Development of Islamic Ritual shows some of the ways in which
this important aspect of Islam developed to maturity in the first
centuries of Islamic history.
