Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's Eulogy of the Prophet Muhammad (eBook, PDF)

Historical, Literary, and Linguistic Analyses

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about the "Hundred-Word Eulogy," a 100-character praise of Islam and Prophet Muhammad written by Zhu Yuanzhang, who reigned as the Hongwu Emperor of China from 1368 to 1398. The analysis of the eulogy is augmented with relevant Islamic texts. The book has become quite revered by many Muslim individuals and organizations across the globe. Yet, no work exists that has systematically analyzed the text. The purpose of this book, then, is to fill this vacuum. Methods from the fields of history, literary analysis, and pragmatic linguistics are employed to provide multidisciplinary and comprehensive analyses of the text, undergirded by the notion of meaning.
