Media Reviews
The most remarkable accomplishment of this book is not that it leaves the reader with a basic understanding of Muhammad, the Qur'an and the daily practices of Muslims everywhere, although it certainly does these things. Nor does it lie merely in the clear, open, loving approach the author brings to his subject, though this is striking. Rather his main contribution lies in building bridges of understanding-in showing the Christian's and Jew's essential oneness with the Muslim. ---Joseph K. Blackman.--- One of the most important works on Islam to appear in the English language. It should really be read by all Westerners interested in an understanding of Islamic tradition and also by those Muslims who have become cut off from the authentic message of their own religion. ---S. H. Nasr.--- Considered essential by [those] seeking to understand Islam. ---Sunday Telegraph.--- This book deserves to be read over and over again. ---Muslim Education Quarterly.--- This is a beautifully written book. It offers a taste of theology, of history, of aesthetics and of eschatology blended in such way as to provide a whole and balanced image, a vision of life that is both comprehensive and thoroughly Islamic. ---Parabola.
