Graves, shrines and tombs are regarded by some Muslims as having the potential to tempt a believer to polytheism. Hence the duty to level the graves to the ground (taswiyat al-qubūr).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn illuminating the ideology behind these acts, this book explains the current destruction of graves in the Islamic world and traces the ideological sources of iconoclasm in their historical perspective, from medieval theological and legal debates to contemporary Islamist movements including ISIS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ondřej Ber疣ek, Pavel Ťupek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474452639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474452632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Ond\u0026#345;ej Ber疣ek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935514951935,"sku":"9781474452632","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e129a9a2-596f-4374-ad8f-dc4e7df278bf.jpg?v=1681420241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-temptation-of-graves-in-ondej-ber-nek-9781474452632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
