Exploring complex relations between Muslim visions and critical
stances, this textbook is a compact introduction to Islam, dealing
with the origins of its forms, from early developments to
contemporary issues, including religious principles, beliefs and
practices. The author's innovative method considers the various
opposing theories and approaches between the Islamic tradition and
scholars of Islam. Each topic is accompanied by up-to-date
bibliographical references and a list of titles for further study,
while an exhaustive glossary includes the elementary notions to
allow in-depth study. Part I outlines the two founding aspects, the
Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad, highlighting essential concepts,
according to Islamic religious discourse and related critical
issues. In Part II the emergence of the religious themes that have
characterised the formation of Islam are explored in terms of
historical developments. Part III, on contemporary Islam, examines
the growth of Islam between the end of the Middle Ages and the
beginning of the modern age. Advanced readers, already familiar
with the elementary notions of Islam and religious studies will
benefit from Islam that explores the development of religious
discourse in a historical perspective. This unique textbook is a
key resource for post-graduate researchers and academics interested
in Islam, religion and the Middle East.
