The Prophet Muhammad's vision of a community of believers united under one God took form in the early Islamic state. Yet, within a generation of the Prophet's death, divisions within the faith emerged. This book discusses these divisions with reference to Shiism and its various subdivisions, the Kharijites, and Sufism-Islam's mystical dimension. Book jacket.
