What reading level is The Religions of Modern Syria And Palestine Lectures Delivered Before Lake Fore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE MOHAMMEDAN HAGIOLOGY 229 same history in every religion. The ignorant Moslems vow to the wely directly, in the belief that he may turn from them some evil directed against them by God himself. In any case the welies are sought in time of trouble. If there were no trouble, so naively argues the peasant, there would be no need of the welies. To the shrines flock bar- ren women, yearning for children, and there are brought the sick, the paralytic, and the possessed or insane to receive direct ...benefit from the holy influence of the welies whose spirits are supposed to inhabit the shrines. So deeply im- bedded is the cult that, notwithstanding the teaching of the 'ulama, shrines are even found connected with mosques, sometimes occupying the chief place. Even at the great mosque at Damascus, where the three shrines are subsid- iary, people fulfil their vows of sheep by slaughtering these at the north side of the court around the pool. Official Islam recognizes sacrifices on but two occasions: first on the third day of- the Mecca pilgrimage, when bloody sacri- fices commemorative of Abraham's consent to offer up his son are permitted, not only at Mtina, but all through the Mohammedan world ;^ and, in the second place, on the birth of a child, when it is incumbent on the parent to offer a dedicatory and eucharistic animal sacrifice.
