Abstract
The article reviews the Muslims’ commitment to their Prophet and their views on his continuing presence as a source of blessing, inspiration and eschatological expectation. It came to shape Muslim religious culture in many regions, and with increasing intensity, over the whole of the early modern period. Attachment to the Prophet was extended to his descendants, who after the vanishing of the universal caliphate came to enjoy particular respect in the Muslim world. Prophetic piety with its doctrinal, literary, socio-cultural and political expressions still remains insufficiently explored for the early modern period, for which the hermeneutics of continuity and transformation are yet to be balanced out. The article offers an overview of central aspects of this field.
