Description: A groundbreaking anthropological analysis of Islam as experienced by Muslims By Noon Prayer builds a conceptual model of Islam as a whole while travelling along a comparative path of biblical Egyptological ethnographic poetic scriptural and visual materials. Grounded in long - term observation of Arabo - Islamic culture and society the study captures the rhythm of Islam weaving through the lives of Muslim women and men. Examples of the rhythmic nature of Islam can be seen in all aspects of Muslims everyday lives. Muslims break their Ramadan fast upon the sun setting and they receive Ramadan by sighting the new moon. Prayer for their dead is by noon and burial is before sunset. This is space and time in Islam - moon sun dawn and sunset are all part of a unique and unified rhythm interweaving the sacred and the ordinary nature and culture in a pattern that is characteristically Islamic.
