| Summary: | The perfect resource for those wishing to learn more about the Muslim culture, its people and its teachings, "Fifty Key Figures in Islam" explores the lives and thoughts of fifty influential individuals in Islam and surveys a heritage that spans 1500 years. Covering key figures such as Prophet Muhammad, Suleiman 'the Magnificent' and El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X), the entry for each figure includes: biographical details; a presentation and analysis of their main ideas; an account of their impact and influence within and, if appropriate, beyond the Islamic tradition; and list of major works and additional reading. Fully cross-referenced for ease of use, this clearly presented work is ideal for those interested in or studying the area, and could not have come at a more fascinating time in history for Islam. |
