""Islam"" by Alfred Guillaume is a comprehensive study of the religion of Islam. The book covers the history of Islam, the life of the Prophet Muhammad, the teachings of the Quran, and the development... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Although published in the late 1950s, there probably is no more excellent book for the person who would like to know anything or everything about Islam and the Arabic world today. It covers the subject sympatheticaly and completely: it could be a one-book reference for understanding today's Islamic and Arabic peoples. Men and women in our government should read this book to understand dealing with Arabian and other Islamic peoples. Covers from A to Z and seems strangely "modern" for a book published quite a few years ago ... includes the beginnings and development of Islam, origins of the multitude of sects, the nature of the Arabic people, and other considerations. An excellent, well-written background book.
