ajiss-1415	Colby, Frederick S.	The Birth of the Prophet Muhammad: Devotional Piety in Sunni Islam by Marion Holmes Katz (London and New York: Routledge, 2007. 275 pages)	2009.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1228	32	34	The argument over the appropriate- ness of standing (qiyam) at the moment when the narrative declares the Prophet’s birth, and what exactly is at stake in the action, serves as a micro- cosm through which Katz examines the positions of various parties in the debate over this event’s legitimacy. Even within this Arab context, the study revolves around the analysis of mawlid texts and the legal debates they engender, rather than, for instance, ethnographic reports about how the event itself continues to be a living practice among Muslims in different parts of the world.	cache/ajiss-1415.pdf	txt/ajiss-1415.txt
