The Satanic Verses is a novel by British-Indian author Salman Rushdie, published in 1988. The novel, partly inspired by the life of Muhammad, generated controversy and protests in the Muslim world, where it was considered blasphemous. The story follows two Indian Muslim actors, Gibreel Farishta and Saladin Chamcha, who undergo a mystical transformation after surviving a plane crash. Through dreams and hallucinations, the novel explores themes of identity, exile, faith, and the nature of good and evil.
