Each chapter will address the multifarious <br>manifestations of a single image according to Sunni, Shi‘ite and Sufi <br>sources. Each image will be analyzed literally and metaphorically from an <br>imaginative, eclectic, innovative and interdisciplinary approach, bringing <br>together religious and cultural studies. Each image will be examined <br>exoterically and esoterically, literally, linguistically, allegorically, <br>symbolically, religiously, theologically and philosophically. Primary <br>sources shall be entirely Arabic, including the Holy Qur’an, Prophetic <br>Traditions or Ahadith, namely the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and, for <br>Shi‘ites, the apothegms of the Twelve Imams, and a broad range of Tafasir <br>or commentaries of the Qur’an. Secondary sources will be drawn primarily <br>from the works of Annemarie Schimmel, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, William C. <br>Chittick, Sachiko Murata, and other leading scholars of Islam from both <br>East and West who have grasped the faith in both its outer and inner <br>dimensions. Islamic Imagery will provide an inventory and analysis of the <br>predominant images in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, demonstrating the <br>diversity which exists at the heart of Islamic unity. Islamic Imagery is <br>set to be a valuable reference source for both students and scholars alike <br>and an essential library addition.
