Synopsis
This book is deeply rooted in scholarship, and presents for the interested reader the celebrations and ceremonies of Muslim life. he finds in the pagan Arab festival of Spring, the pilgrimage to Mecca, close historical links to the Jewish Passover observance; in the fast of Ramadan, to the Christian's Lent. The worship of Husain, the passion plays, the orthodoxy of Summism, the fanaticism of Shi-ism -- these are less derivative, perhaps, and more wholly rooted in Muhammadanism itself, though as an offshoot of what is basically an arid and physically exacting liturgy.
