Review:
"Especially recommended for non-specialist general readers wanting a solid overview of one of the world's most prominent religions in general, as well as western students of Islam in particular, Essential Islam is a superbly presented history from inception of Islam under the prophet Mohammad, and through its various factions and evolutions down to the present day. . . . Essential Islam is especially appropriate and recommended for both academic and community library Islamic Studies reference collections." - Midwest Book Review
