Imitatio Muhammadi: Khomeini and the Mystery of Citizenship

Faisal Fatehali Devji

Institute of Ismaili Studies, London

This article looks at the way in which the Prophet Muhammad has been reconstituted into a model of citizenship for much of modern Islam. In particular it investigates how such a citizenship emerges as a global model during the Rushdie Affair, especially in the version of Ayatollah Khomeini, which allowed Muslims to address the event of globalization itself through the figure of the Prophet.

Key Words: Ayatollah Khomeini • citizenship • globalization • mystery • Prophet Muhammad • Rushdie Affair • Salman Rushdie
