Islam by Claire Alkouatli
About the Book
After many years traveling through and living in the Muslim world, Alkouatli accepted Islam as her religion. In her fine, well-detailed overview of the second largest religion in the world, she takes a look at the life of the prophet Muhammad and the teachings of the Qur’an as well as important historical events, religious observances, and holidays.
Using extensive quotes and occasional photos of places and people, she also discusses the Five Pillars of Islam, including the fast of Ramadan and the hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), and celebrates the diversity in the Muslim world and how it is expressed in various cultures.
Her excellent final section considers Islam in the U.S., lending insight into Muslims who resist American culture and those who choose to embrace it. As part of the new World Religions series, this book can be used to prompt group discussion as well as for personal reading. A detailed time line, a glossary, a bibliography, a list of Web sites, and chapter notes are appended.
