Description

Explore the profound significance of the qibla in this scholarly examination of sacred orientation across Late Antiquity and early Islamic periods. This Routledge publication investigates how directional prayer practices functioned as ritual observance, theological metaphor, and a defining marker of Islamic identity during a transformative historical era. The work synthesises archaeological, textual, and historical evidence to illuminate the religious and cultural dimensions of orientation in worship, revealing how communities navigated shifting political boundaries and constructed religious identity through spatial practice. Essential reading for historians, Islamic scholars, and researchers investigating the intersection of religion, geography, and identity formation in the medieval Mediterranean and Middle East.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Studies in Islamic Philosophy series, offering rigorous academic analysis of religious and philosophical questions in Islamic tradition.

Examines the qibla as a multifaceted concept functioning simultaneously as religious ritual, metaphorical expression, and communal identity marker.

Covers the transitional period of Late Antiquity and early Islam, tracing how sacred orientation practices developed and evolved across these pivotal centuries.

Addresses the relationship between physical space, religious practice, and the formation of Islamic identity in the early medieval world.
