Synopsis:
The faith of a billion Muslims today, developed over fourteen centuries, is sympathetically and skillfully presented in this marvelous introduction. Hewer's extensive knowledge and contextually sensitive presentation yield an exceptionally rich and faithful account, presupposing no prior knowledge of the traditions, without orientalist, Western, or Christian biases. Includes diagrams, glossary, and easy to follow references to the Qur'an.
Review:
"...the reader interested in grasping what the faith and way of
life of Muslims are about..."
-- Yahya Michot, Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, Oxford University
"The author ably shows how the rich heritage of Islam is
celebrated and expressed in the faith lives of Muslims." -- John Kaltner, Rhodes College, author of Islam: What Non-Muslims Should Know
