Итог:This study of ritual and symbolism in Muslim society is based mainly on ethnographic data and Arab Islamic literature on the rain prayers.

Empirical data are gathered during the author's fieldwork expeditions to village of Sidi Ameur in the Sahel of Tunisia in 1965-1966, 1972, and 1984. (DÜI-Hns)
