Allah is the most common and contested name in the Islamic
tradition - but who is he? Engaging with the age old question of
who is the God of Islam, Bruce B. Lawrence stakes out the
historical nuance of Allah throughout the past 1500 years, from the
earliest mention of his name to his appropriation by cyberspace. It
introduces a broad range of perspectives, practices and problems
linked to Allah, including debates that are intra religious as well
as inter religious, concerning differences among Muslims as well as
between Muslims and non Muslim others. Chapters cover the range of
Muslim perspectives on Allah and tackle such topics as war in the
name of Allah and controversies about the use of the name Allah/
God. Throughout the author highlights the need to look at Islam
with fresh eyes and to understand Allah/ God with dispassionate
insight. It mixes historical overview with contemporary analysis.
It includes a guide to further reading and a glossary of technical
terms. It considers the future of Allah in cyberspace. It also
includes sidebars to illustrate key terms and a glossary of Arabic/
Islamic words, persons and practices.
