Islam is the meeting between God as such and man as such... 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. And yet the purpose of this book "is not so much to give a description of Islam as to explain... why Moslems believe in it". Both Westerners unfamiliar with Islam and Moslems seeking a deeper understanding of the basis of faith will be struck by Schuon's masterful elucidation of the spiritual world of Islam. This new edition of Understanding Islam contains a foreword by Annemarie Schimmel.
