The Islamic World

What are the precepts of Shariah law? What role did Genghis Khan play in Islamic history? How do the teachings of the Quran mesh with those of other religious texts? In this powerful, probing, and thought-provoking series, the world of Islam is explored and explained. With coverage from around the world and across the centuries, each book provides a thorough look at the religion with nearly two billion adherents worldwide. Readers will develop a comprehensive understanding of this incredibly rich faith and its contributions to world culture and history. They will gain access to authentic ideas and concepts, which unfortunately have been distorted by recent events that were carried out in the name of Islam. Each book includes copiously informative nonfiction features, such as a detailed table of contents and index, which allow for deep research and recreational reading equally.
