The Cultural Atlas of Islam

Abstract

This magnificent book, published by Macmillan a month after the Faruqis‟ death, presents the entire world view of Islam - its beliefs, traditions, institutions and its place in the cultures in which it has taken root. The Cultural Atlas of Islam is not only a comprehensive introduction to the Islamic experience in history and the modern world, It is an authoritative and deeply felt statement of the faith of Islam, written for those of all faiths. Ismail and Lois Lamya‟ al Faruqi‟s book is, in fact, Islam explaining itself.
