Book Description
Mangsa-mangsanya daripada kalangan penjenayah yang bebas daripada tuduhan salah laku. Cepat atau lambat dia akan memburu mereka. Maut akan menanti mereka. Pembunuhan kejam yang berlaku seperti bukan kerja seorang manusia. Tiada kesan dan jejak ditinggalkan oleh si pembunuh yang licik. Bayang-bayang hitam yang mengekori Faris menakutkan Asmida, seorang gadis yang terbuka hijabnya melihat makhluk-makhluk halus itu. Asmida turut mendapat petanda-petanda ngeri mangsa-mangsa pembunuh kejam itu seterusnya. Faris pula buntu apabila mengetahui bayang-bayang hitam yang sentiasa berbisik di telinga itu adalah QARIN. QARIN yang dahagakan darah manusia. Faris tidak akan mengikut telunjuk QARIN. Dia bukan seorang pembunuh! Apabila rahsia lama cuba disingkap, segalanya terdedah satu per satu. Faris, QARIN dan seorang lelaki yang sudah mati bernama Nazrin Shah saling berkaitan rapat.

Women and Demons
Author: Gerda Sengers
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004475982
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This rich ethnographic study describes the nearly impossible challenge of the daily existence of women in the poor neighbourhoods of Cairo. When these women fall ill they often put the blame on beings from an invisible world that invaded their body (possession), and they seek the help of traditional healers in the Zar ceremony or Koran healing. This book examines in detail the links between cosmology, power and gender. It tackles questions such as ‘what is possession, what is being said with it, and what does society have to do with it?’. The author, who lived a long time in various poor areas of Cairo, attended many sessions of Koran healing and participated in the Zar ceremony. She observed and interviewed many possessed women, as well as healers and other ‘demon specialists’.

Muhammad's Body
Author: Michael Muhammad Knight
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469658925
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Muhammad's Body introduces questions of embodiment and materiality to the study of the Prophet Muhammad. Analyzing classical Muslim literary representations of Muhammad's body as they emerge in Sunni hadith and sira from the eighth through the eleventh centuries CE, Michael Muhammad Knight argues that early Muslims' theories and imaginings about Muhammad's body contributed in significant ways to the construction of prophetic masculinity and authority. Knight approaches hadith and sira as important religiocultural and literary phenomena in their own right. In rich detail, he lays out the variety of ways that early believers imagined Muhammad's relationship to beneficent energy—baraka—and to its boundaries, effects, and limits. Drawing on insights from contemporary theory about the body, Knight shows how changing representations of the Prophet's body helped to legitimatize certain types of people or individuals as religious authorities, while marginalizing or delegitimizing others. For some Sunni Muslims, Knight concludes, claims of religious authority today remain connected to ideas about Muhammad's body.
