Summary, etc Islam in Historical Perspective' is a general introduction to Islam and the history of Muslim societies. Richly illustrated by quotations and images from Muslim scripture, historical chronicles, artistic works, and theological and juridical treatises, it invites the reader to examine this evidence and to form a comprehensive understanding of Islam's evolution from its inception in Arabia to the present day. Combining chronological and thematic principles, this book examines Muslims' political and intellectual struggles over the meaning and practical implications of their faith. Treating Islam as a language that various factions and generations of Muslims have used to express their grievances, aspirations, and personal experiences and preferences, the book shows the religion's remarkable potency as a social, political, and cultural force and source of identity.
