Focusing on issues of interpretation, this book collects and translates a number of medieval mi'raj accounts. The study provides readers access to the documentation and translation of these lesser-known Arabic texts, and uncovers their role in building a meaningful, cohesive and coherent Muslim community in medieval times.
