Must Read . Period

Nasr offers another great book on Islam with the intellectual depth and honest, unapologetic , style that can only come from a true scholar whose only goal is the truth. Set aside all the other books you have bought in an attempt to understand Islam after 9/11, this is the only one you really need to read.

The best introduction to Islam

If you have been grasping for a better understanding of Islam since the attacks of 9/11 search no further. This is a book you will find yourself coming back to again and again. Written in eloquent and accessible English, this book helps one understand why so many continue to live as pious Muslims despite the distortions so prevalent today. Even if you have read several books on Islam, this is a must read.
