This introduction to Islam includes: the development of Islamic
institutions in the classical period; the problems raised by
Western perceptions of Islam; a brief account of Islamic history up
to the present; and a description of Islam as a living faith.
Chapter 1 tackles the negative image of Islam, the history of
misrepresentation, and continued obstacles to understanding.
Chapter 2 offers an initial attempt at defining Islam. Chapters 3
and 4 give a brief history of the Muslim world and attempt to break
that history into periods. Chapter 5 introduces the Quran. Chapters
6 and 7 deal respectively with Muslim attitudes to God and
Muhammad, stressing the diversity of belief. Chapters 8 to 11
discuss the principal elements in Islamic worship from the
viewpoint of the history of religions as well as that of the
participants. Chapter 12 is an introduction to Islamic law. Chapter
13 discusses Shiism and sects. There are two appendices explaining
the structure of Muslim names and the Islamic calendar.
