Description

Explore one of the most controversial episodes in early Islamic history with Before Orthodoxy: The Satanic Verses in Early Islam. Published by Harvard University Press, this work examines the incident where the Prophet Muhammad allegedly mistook words suggested by Satan as divine revelation. While modern Muslims of all sects deny that the Satanic verses incident occurred, Shahab Ahmed provides a deep look into how religious views change over time. The text explores the praises to pagan deities that contradict the core Islamic belief in the oneness of Allah. This study is particularly relevant for those interested in how religions establish truth, especially in traditions like Islam that lack a centralized authority. This book offers a historical perspective on how orthodoxy is formed and how early religious interpretations evolve. It is an essential read for students of Middle Eastern history and anyone interested in the development of religious thought and the complexities of early Islamic tradition.
