Cosmic and Animal Piety in Islam

Everything Glorifies God

360 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book offers an original perspective on animal studies, Islam and the extensions of religion, engaging with ideas and narratives in which nonhuman creatures (both animate and inanimate) are portrayed as the ideal worshippers of God. Moreover, it argues that this piety of animals and the wider worshipping cosmos not only represents an ideal form of worship, but also serves as a model for more fallible human piety.
