"Islam confronts what is immutable in God with what is permanent in man". These are the opening words of what has become a classic work on Islam, perhaps the most misunderstood of the great Revelations. Westerners unfamiliar with Islam and Moslems seeking a deeper understanding of the basis of their faith will be struck by Schuon's masterful treatise. He examines the the Qur'an, the Sunna, the Prophet and the esoteric dimension that is the kernel of Moslem spirituality, showing how each of these pillars of Islam relates to all the others.
