Just Released Islam and Other Faiths by Ismail Raji al-Faruqi Edited by Ataullah Siddiqui / Published jointly by the Islamic Foundation in UK and the International Institute of Islamic Thought in USA Collected in this volume (365 pages) are the late Shahid Ismail al-Faruqi's articles written over a span of two decades, which deal directly with Islam and other Faiths.
The book provides a good cross-section of alFaruqi' s contribution to the study of comparative religion and covers a wide spectrum of inter-religious issues including commonality and differences between Islam, Christianity and Judaism, Muslim-non-Muslim relations, and the issue of Mission and da'wah.
It is a fascinating study by an engaging and challenging scholar and activist of our time.
In his forward to this book professor John Espisito considered Ismail al-Faruqi a model to be emulated in his contribution to civilizational dialogue which became an imperative at the dawn of the twenty first century specially when we consider globalization and significant presence and force of Islam in the Muslim World and the West.
