The Muhammadan Reality belongs to a technical discourse relating prophecy, manifestation, and comprehensiveness. It must be distinguished from historical statements about the Prophet’s earthly life.
Distinctions and context
The lexicographic tradition distinguishes the metaphysical term from its historical referent. Later authors vary in how they relate it to the perfect human and the imagery of light.
Research question
Is the passage about prophetic rank, metaphysical precedence, or emulation?
