Language of the Taj Mahal, The: Islam, Prayer, and the Religion of Shah Jahan (Library of Islamic South Asia) - Softcover
Book 6 of 7: Library of Islamic South Asia
Synopsis
The Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1592-1666 CE) as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631 CE), is considered exceptional in the history of world architecture.This book provides a deeper understanding of the Taj Mahal and its builder by examining its inscriptions within their architectural, historical and biographical contexts. The texts adorning the Taj Mahal comprise verses from twenty-two different chapters of the Qur’an but their meaning and significance escapes most non-Muslim visitors or those unable to read them. This book will be the first dedicated solely to the inscriptions in the monument, providing translations, commentary and interpretation of the texts. As well as offering a unique approach to the study of the building, the book uses the inscriptions to expound the foundational elements of Islam, the faith of Shah Jahan and also what the Taj Mahal still means today.

Seller: Best Value Books, Buffalo, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Clean and tight, no markings of any kind, top right corner has 1 inch crease, no other signs of use. please note: due to the efforts to kill then privatize the US post office by the vandals in power, foreign shipping even to Canada (a mile from me) is likely to be prohibitively expensive, and currently varies even within each country. It is quick, and trackable at least until hitting customs, but VERY expensive currently. Seller Inventory # 71
