Illustrated
Dictionary of the Muslim World
contains hundreds of short
entries on Islamic concepts, religious practices, historical events and
personalities, geographical places, and fact files of nations with large Muslim
populations. The text is supplemented with approximately 50 photographic
illustrations.
Illustrated
Dictionary of the Muslim World
is just one of the three books
that make up the Muslim World collection; the other two books are
Islamic Beliefs, Practices, and
Cultures
and
Modern Muslim
Societies.
Together, these three volumes provide a rich and
balanced view of all aspects of Islamic religion and its varied manifestations
through time and around the world, with emphasis on understanding modern Muslim
society today. From the women around Muhammad to pop stars of today, from
medieval caliphates to breakthroughs in science and medicine, from love poetry
to suicide, no aspect of a rich and diverse story goes unnoticed in the Muslim
World collection.
