Islam For Beginners

This unique combination of text and illustration introduces the faith and culture of Muslims from the seventh century to the present. Intellectually compelling and visually striking, this book will help both students and interested lay readers to better understand the history and contemporary impact of one of the great religions of the world. This book is as it advertises, a basic introduction to Islam. It touches on the foundations of the religion and some key people who need to be known in order to understand Islam. Also looks at Islamic culture. Very basic, it makes an easy read. However, it only serves as a basic introduction and a more thorough book should be read if it turns out to be a subject you are really interested in. Illustrated with drawings, but these don't add much to the overall product.
