Synopsis
Islam is one of the world’s great monotheistic religions. Islamic culture, spanning 1,500 years, has produced some of the finest achievements of humanity. Yet the religion followed by a fifth of humankind, including millions from diverse ethnic backgrounds in the US and Europe, is largely seen in the West in terms of fundamentalism, bigotry and violence, a perception reinforced by the terrorist atrocities in New York and Washington in 2001 and subsequent outrages. But the real message of Islam is very far indeed from this picture, making it perhaps the least understood religion in the world.This informative guide recounts the history of Islam from the birth of Prophet Muhammad in the 6th century to its status as a global culture and political force today. Charting the achievements of Muslim civilization, it explains the nature and message of the Qur’an, outlines the basic features of Islamic law, and assesses the impact of colonialism on Muslim societies., This title is now available in a new format. Refer to Islam: A Graphic Guide 9781848310841. Introducing Islam , one of Icon’s well-known ‘Introducing’ titles, is an informative guide to the complex and often perplexing world of Islam. Islam is one of the world’s great monotheistic religions, a culture with 1500 years of history and a civilization of one billion people, constituting a quarter of humanity. Yet it is seen only in terms of oil and turmoil, fundamentalism and bigotry. A potent political force in global affairs, the religion which Muhammad founded is one of the least understood ideologies in the world. Introducing Islam recounts the history of Islam from Muhammad’s birth in the later sixth century Arabian desert to its cultural and political force in our time. It provides an insight into the achievements of Islam and gives indications of possible future developments in the Muslim world – a future that touches the lives of all inhabitants of the planet., This informative guide recounts the history of Islam from the birth of the Prophet Muhammad to its status as a global culture and political force today, explaining the message of the Qur’ran and the features of Islamis law.
