4.9/5 (9804 ratings)

Description:Al-Tha labi was a renowned Qur anic scholar of the fifth/eleventh century, and his Ara is al-majalis is arguably the finest and most widely consulted example of the Islamic qisas al-anbiya genre.Drawing on primary Arabic sources, Klar applies modern critical methods in order to explore the nature of al-Tha labi s Ara'is al-majalis within its historical and literary context, and thereby produces a compelling examination of the stories of Noah, Job, Saul and David as portrayed in the key historiographical and folkloric texts of the medieval Islamic period. Via a close analysis of the relevant narratives, the book considers a number of universal aspects of the human condition as they are displayed in these tales, from first a religious, then a familial, and finally a social perspective. Touching upon the benefits and limitations of the application of biblical studies and literary motifs to Islamic materials, the book investigates the possibilities of interpretation raised by a primarily psychoanalytical reading of the tales of the four individuals in question. As such, this text will be of great interest to scholars of the biblical prophets, Qur anic studies, Islamic historiography, folklore and literary criticism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
