Table of ContentsReviews'A well-written, thoughtful book.' Times Literary Supplement 'This is a lovely book about what it meant to be a good Muslim in the later Middle Ages. As the title suggests, following Islamic law was not enough. The law acquired meaning through devotion, and true worship meant excess piety, less sleep, less food, and more ritual washing. This dialogue of the believer with his or her body is a dimension of Islamic spirituality which receives here its first major treatment.'
