Synopsis:
This concise study examines Islam as a world religious, cultural and political force, beginning with its founding by the prophet Muhammad in the early seventh century AD. Islam's fundamental scripture, the Qur'an, is explained in detail, and the core of Islamic beliefs and obligations are presented. Among the many other aspects of Islam explored in this book are its numerous sects, its relationship to the Christian world of Medieval Europe, its dissemination throughout the world and its present dynamic religious and political strength and influence in countries around the world.
