The book contains twenty illustrations; a preface; six parts (divided into
twenty-seven chapters); an appendix and a glossary; notes about the contributors;
an index of names; an index of concepts, themes, places, and book

English-language anthology of Islamic hagiography, both historically and
geographically – it is translated from seventeen languages of origin, with the
help of two dozen Islamic scholars specializing in broad spectrum of languages
