Drawing on research from Sunni and Shi?ite literature, Liyakat N. Takim explores how these various groups, including the caliphs, scholars, Sufi holy men, and the Shi?ite imams and their disciples, competed to be the Prophetic heirs. The book also illustrates how the tradition of the "heirs of the Prophet" was often a polemical tool used by its bearers to demand obedience and loyalty from the Muslim community by imposing an authoritative rendition of texts, beliefs, and religious practices. Those who did not obey were marginalized and demonized. While examining the competition for Muhammad's charismatic authority, Takim investigates the Shi?ite self-understanding of authority and argues that this was an important factor in the formation of a distinct Shi?ite leadership. The Heirs of the Prophet also provides a new understanding of textual authority in Islam by examining authority construction and the struggle for legitimacy evidenced in Islamic biographical dictionaries. 606 $aShiah$xGovernment 606 $aCharisma (Personality trait)$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aAuthority$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aTemporal power of religious rulers 615 0$aShiah$xGovernment. 615 0$aCharisma (Personality trait)$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aAuthority$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aTemporal power of religious rulers. 676 $a297.6 700 $aTakim$b Liyakatali$f1957-$01724396 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820929403321 996 $aThe heirs of the prophet$94126484 997 $aUNINA
