The Buräqi View s from the East and West.
The buräq is the beast on which the Prophet Muhammad is said to have ridden on his night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem (the isra) and occasionally on his ascension through the heav-ens (the mi'räg). This article examines the notion of the burâq within both Muslim and Western non-Muslim sources. It...

This article examines the notion of the burâq within both Muslim and Western non-Muslim sources. It shows the evolution of the relatively simple descriptions of the burdq as found in the early Muslim sources to the later embellished and colourful accounts. It also inves-tigates the role the buräq plays in more general Muslim discussions concerning the isrä' and the mi'räg. As for Western non-Muslim approaches, the article demonstrates how the buräq was initially used in anti-Islamic polemic, subsequently became an object of fascination, and in later times has become a topic of more impartial academic study. Le buräq est la monture que le prophète Muhammad aurait enfourchée lors de son voyage noc-turne de la Mecque à Jerusalem (isrä') et à l'occasion de son ascension céleste (mi'räg). Cet article examine la notion du burâq au sein des sources musulmanes comme occidentales non-musulma-nes. Nous retraçons l'évolution de descriptions relativement sommaires du buräq telles qu'on les rencontre dans les premières sources musulmanes jusqu'aux comptes rendus tardifs enjolivés et pittoresques. Nous examinons également le rôle que le buräq joue dans des discussions musul-manes ayant trait à Yisrä? et au mi'räg. Pour ce qui ressortit aux approches occidentales non-musulmanes, l'article démontre comment le buräq fut tout d'abord utilisé dans la polémique contre l'islam, avant de devenir un objet de fascination et, plus tard, un sujet d'étude universi-taire sur un mode plus impartial. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Arabica is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
