Islam is a world religion that brings together many cultures and nations, surpassing 900 million people. From its modest origins in Mecca fourteen centuries ago, it spread rapidly through the Middle East and Southeast Asia. This book tells the story of Islamic beliefs and practices and their development during the formative period, extending to the present day, with an account of the last two centuries, where Muslims have faced Western hegemony and have sought to establish a modern identity. This updated edition is an essential read for those interested in Islamic history and culture.
