And Muhammad is His Messenger by Annemarie Schimmel

And Muhammad is His Messenger, by the renowned scholar Annemarie Schimmel, is a study of the place of the Prophet Muhammad in Muslim devotion, imagination, and everyday life. Rather than a chronological biography, it asks a different and deeply illuminating question: how have Muslims across centuries and cultures loved, honoured, and understood the Prophet?

The book explores the many ways in which devotion to the Prophet has been expressed, from poetry and song to personal names, celebrations, and the language of everyday piety. It shows how the Prophet stands at the centre of Muslim religious feeling, not only as a historical figure but as a living presence in the hearts of believers, and it helps readers understand why reverence for the Prophet runs so deep in Muslim culture around the world.

Key themes readers will explore:

• The Prophet's central place in Muslim devotion and religious feeling
• Poetry, song, and literature as expressions of love for the Prophet
• Names, titles, and honours through which Muslims have celebrated him
• Devotion to the Prophet in everyday Muslim life and popular piety
• A scholarly perspective on how reverence for the Prophet has shaped Islamic culture
