In the Islamic context, the specific doctrine connected to the intermediation (\u003cem\u003ewasīla\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ewāsiṭa\u003c\/em\u003e) and intercession of the Prophet Muḥammad towards God (\u003cem\u003eshafāʿa\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003etawassul\u003c\/em\u003e), particularly on the Day of Judgement, is widely attested in the primary sources of Islam. The eschatological function of the Prophet is represented in these sources through a series of royal metaphors, connected to his rank (\u003cem\u003ejāh\u003c\/em\u003e) on the Day of Judgement, which will allow him access to a special station called the Station of Praise (\u003cem\u003eal-\u003c\/em\u003emaqām al-maḥmūd), endowed with specific attributes of royalty. Within Islamic esotericism, these doctrines receive a metaphysical interpretation closely connected to the reality of Muḥammad as the Perfect Man (\u003cem\u003eal-insān al-kāmil\u003c\/em\u003e). Since contemporary times, with the birth and spread of the Islamic Reform movements, these doctrines have been the target of intense opposition aimed also at related practices, such as, for example, visiting tombs in search of intercession, eventually resulting in the destruction of numerous sacred sites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuca Patrizi\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Turin, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53387159240979,"sku":"9783111500874","price":188.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/6300\/3667\/files\/w9WWle8Bz99783111500874.webp?v=1769519495","url":"https:\/\/finduslaw.com\/products\/in-the-presence-of-the-king-intermediation-and-intercession-in-islam-hardcover","provider":"FindUSlaw Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
