Abstract	:	Few studies have investigated the elements that served in constructing particular images of Muhammad, and the role of these images in the formation of the religious identity of the Muslims of the Maghrib and Andalus. Although there are dozens of inroads to this subject, this project explores a tradition unique to the Maghrib and Andalus where Muslims sent beautifully ornate letters with pilgrims to be read at Muhammad’s graveside wherein they addressed him as a living person who has an omnipotent cosmic role, and where he is sought to intercede in the problems of the senders’ daily communal and individual lives. This practice lasted from the eleventh to the eighteenth centuries and was performed across society by those such as kings, notables, laymen, and scholars who represented orthodoxy in many of its hegemonic aspects.
