The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie
The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s fourth novel,
first published in 1988 and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad.
The title refers to what are known as the satanic verses. According to
early Muslim biographies of Muhammad, Muhammad was tricked into
revealing these verses as part of the Qur’an by Satan and he later
retracted them, saying the angel Jibreel had told him to do so. The
verses allow for prayers of intercession to be made to three Pagan
Meccan goddesses: Allat, Uzza, and Manah. The part of the story that
deals with the “satanic verses” in the book was based on the accounts
of the historians al-Waqidi and al-Tabari.
