ePub History of the Russian Revolution by Leon Trotsky in History

Description

This is Islam offers readers an introduction to one of the world's major religions; its philosophies; and how it affects the world today. Geared to those unfamiliar with the religion and its rituals and customs-and written in clear and simple terms by one of the United States' leading scholars of religion-this volume explains Islamic law; major figures and sects; and the role of mysticism. This is Islam is designed for classroom and course supplement use. The focus is early history; not Islam today; but the book has been designed to help readers understand more recent events; keeping in mind that one of the most remarkable features of Islam is that; with a single significant exception; all lands to which it spread have remained Muslim into modern times.
