Keywords:
"Islam is the meeting between God as such and man as such. . . . Islam confronts what is immutable in God with what is permanent in man." These are the opening words of Schuon's classic masterwork on Islam, perhaps the most misunderstood of the great Revelations. The purpose of this book "is not so much to give a description of Islam as to explain why Muslims believe in it". Both Westerners unfamiliar with Islam and Muslims seeking a deeper understanding of the basis of faith will be struck by Schuon's masterful explanation of the spiritual world of Islam. This new edition of Understanding Islam features a fully revised translation from the French original and contains an extensive Appendix with previously unpublished selections from Schuon's letters and other private writings.

Recenzijas

With misunderstanding comes great fear. "Understanding Islam" is a reprinting and revised translation of Frithjof Schuon's previous work surrounding the nature of Islam and why it has attracted a billion and a half followers. World renown for its scholarly nature that sheds light on this controversial faith, this updated edition contains 77 pages of new material, editor's notes, glossaries, and more. "Understanding Islam" is a core and much recommended addition to community and college religious studies collections. Midwest Book Review
