Book Notice The Cultural Atlas of Islam Ismail and Lamya’ al Faruqi This magnificent book, published by Macmillan a month after the Faruqis’ deaths, presents the entire world view of Islam»-~ its beliefs, traditions, institu- tions, and its place in the cultures in which it has taken root.
This is, however, much more than a history of events; it is a clear presenta- tion of the essence of Islamic civilization in all its spheres, from everyday practices of Muslims around the world to the Islamic legacy in art, science.
Islam, the authors demonstrate, brought together diverse tradi- tions and from them forged the unique body of belief, thought, and practice that continues to animate Muslim life today throughout the world.
Here, the authors trace the flowering of Islam, its enormous impact on other traditions, and its distinctive legacy in language, law, theology, philosophy, the social sciences, history, literature, art, architecture, music, and crafts.
