Certainly a woman by this name was born in Basra, Iraq, in the eighth century, but her life remains recorded only in legends, stories, poems and hagiographies. The various depictions of her - as a deeply spiritual ascetic, an existentialist rebel and a romantic lover - seem impossible to reconcile, and yet Rabi'a has transcended these narratives to become a global symbol of both Sufi and modern secular culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this groundbreaking study, Rkia Elaroui Cornell traces the development of these diverse narratives and provides a history of the iconic Rabi'a's construction as a Sufi saint. Combining medieval and modern sources, including evidence never before examined, in novel ways, \u003ci\u003eRabi'a From Narrative to Myth \u003c\/i\u003eis the most significant work to emerge on this quintessential figure in Islam for more than seventy years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rkia Elaroui Cornell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861549007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861549009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.02w x 0.93d","brand":"Rkia Elaroui Cornell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616887632127,"sku":"9780861549009","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b50f035-498e-4cef-9b4f-84b40a75953d.jpg?v=1703022878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rabia-from-narrative-to-myth-rkia-elaroui-cornell-9780861549009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
