| Abstract
|
:
|
"Islam is a truly global faith, with millions of followers allover the world, yet to many it remains an enigma. The Penguin Dictionary of Islam provides a comprehensive overview of Muslim beliefs, cultures and history. It defines, clearly and impartially, terms that saturate today's media - from Sunni and Shi'ite to Hijab and Jihad. Written by a leading scholar, in consultation with prominent experts, it is the essential point of reference for students and general readers who wish to understand more about this diverse and vibrant religion."--Jacket.
