Poetry In Prophetic Perfection

R450.00

Poetry in Praise of Prophetic Perfection delves into the rich tradition of West African Arabic madih poetry, a genre dedicated to praising the Prophet Muhammad. Dr. Oludamini Ogunnaike challenges the misconception that such poetry is merely pious praise without intellectual depth. The book explores the lyrical nature of madih poetry, its foundations in the Qur’an, Hadith, and early Islamic poetry, and its deep connection to Sufi doctrines of cosmology, ontology, and epistemology. Through translations of numerous extracts and complete poems, accompanied by the original Arabic, readers gain insight into this unique genre of spiritual Islamic poetry.
