About this product

Product Information

Malise Ruthven answers fundamental questions about the nature and scope of Islam such as why the greatest Jihad (holy war) is now against the enemies of Islam, rather than the struggle against evil, why Islam has such major divisions between movements such as the Shiis, the Sunnis, and the Wahhabis, and how the Sharia (Islamic law) has become such an important aspect of Islamic life. He also considers Islamic resurgence as an old and new concept, whether or not women can find fulfillment and equality within an Islamic framework, and the problems facing Islam and its confrontations with the modern world.

"Malise Ruthven's book answers the urgent need for an introduction to Islam... He addresses major isssues with clarity and directness, engages dispassionately with the disparate stereotypes and polemics on the subjects, and guides the reader surely through the urgent debates about fundamentalism."--Michael Gilsenan, New York University

Islam
I needed that book for my non-western civilisations class. I think the book is great, and very easy to read. The book is short, but you can find almost evrything about the islamic world and traditions in it. Reccommend it to anyone who would want to deepen their knowledge about Islamic world.
