  Muslim Devotions presents a fascinating collection of prayers and devotional writings in contemporary popular worship in the Muslim world, from Egypt and the Sudan to Pakistan, the Lebanon and Iran. Drawing widely on sources that represent the spiritual influence of Islamic leaders down the centuries, Muslim Devotions traces and analyses the evolution of Islamic theological thought from the early saints and mystics to the present day.

From devotions attributed to the hermit Uwais al-Qarani and ‘Ali Zain al-‘Abadin, the great-grandson of the Prophet, through mediaeval saints to the prayers and writings of the mystics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this excellent work offers fresh insight into the life of devotion and Muslim worship.
