Pieter Coppens shows that boundary crossing from this world to the otherworld, and vice versa, revolves around the idea of meeting with and the vision of God; a vision which for some Sufis is not limited to the hereafter. The Qur'anic texts selected for study all key verses on seeing God are placed in their broader religious and social context and are shown to provide a useful and varied source for the reconstruction of a history of Sufi eschatology and the vision of God.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmBook Series: Edinburgh Studies in Islamic Apocalypticism and EschatologyRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
