A Muslim primer

"A Muslim Primer covers the basic beliefs of Islam and provides a reliable source of information for both lay and professional readers. First published in 1992, it has proven to be a valuable handbook for anyone attempting to better understand the religious tenets of a major portion of the world's population. This fundamental guide to Islam introduces the reader to the authority of the Quran, the life and prophethood of Muhammad, the Primacy of the Law in Muslim culture, the Five Pillars of Islam, and other fundamental principles of the religion. It also makes distinctions between Sunni and Shiite traditions and the Sufi mystical dimension of Islam."--BOOK JACKET.
