Description
The House of Islam: A Global History A powerful corrective to the prevailing narrative about Islam, this book offers a nuanced and compassionate exploration of the faith and its people. Ed Husain expertly guides us through the complexities of Islam, introducing us to its rich values, traditions, and the beauty of its art. The gulf between Islam and the West is widening, with sensational headlines and hard-line policies sparking enmity. But Husain contends that the Muslim world need not be a stranger to the West, nor its enemy, but a peaceable ally. This book provides a much-needed entry point into the minds and hearts of Muslims worldwide, revealing the kindness of its founder, the beauty of its art, and the tension between mysticism and literalism that still shapes the faith. By exploring the nuances of Islam, Husain sheds light on the perceptions and feelings of Muslims today, and challenges the prevailing stereotypes that dominate our understanding of the faith.
