Description
Islam is one of the world's great monotheistic religions, with a rich history spanning over 1,500 years. This book provides an overview of Islam, from its origins in the 6th century to its current status as a global culture and political force. The authors explore the achievements of Muslim civilisation, explaining the nature and message of the Qur'an, and outlining the basic features of Islamic law. They also assess the impact of colonialism on Muslim societies, providing context for understanding the complexities of modern Islam. By examining the history and development of Islam, this book offers a nuanced perspective on the religion and its followers. It shows how Muslims everywhere are trying to live their faith and shape new ideas and ideals in a globalised world.
