Islam: Its History, Teaching, and Practices



Indiana University Press (2004) | English | ISBN:0253216273 | 205 pages | PDF | 3.39 MB

This compact introduction to Islam encapsulates the essential aspects of Islam as a living religion and social force. The book is organized around seven topics: the life of Muhammad; Islamic political development and territorial expansion; the important groupings of Islamic believers (Sunni, Shi'ite, and Sufi); the Qur'an (the Holy Book of Islam); Sunnah, Hadith (the record of the Prophet's actions and sayings), and Shari'ah (the compilation of Islamic law); the five Articles of Faith and the so-called Five Pillars of Islam that govern faith and action; and other binding religious observances and festivals.The presentation of these seven aspects of Islam strikes a balance between fact, tradition, current interpretation, and commentary.
