Muslims believe that the Koran is God's message in Arabic, revealed
through the medium of the Prophet Muhammad for the guidance of the
Arabs and subsequently for all humanity. There is both unity and
variety in the Islamic world. Muslims are not a homogeneous people
who can be explained solely by their normative texts: the Koran and
the Sunnah. Muslims differ vastly in their interpretation of Islam:
modernists want to reinterpret Islam to adapt to the requirements
of modern times while traditionalists tend to look to the classical
and medieval periods of Islam as their model of the Islamic state.
This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Islam contains a
chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced
entries on major sects, schools of theology, and jurisprudence, as
well as aspects of Islamic culture. This book is an excellent
resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more
about Islam.
