It provides invaluable background and insights into understanding current events in the Islamic world.

The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam is written by scholar for the general reader and researcher, without assuming any prior knowledge of the subject. Detailed cross-references lead the general reader into deeper knowledge of Islam, whatever his starting point.
AUTHOR: CYRIL GLASSE had a deep personal acquaintance with the Muslim world and its heritage. This work has been six years in preparation and is the result of a lifetime's study. Astonishingly, it is the first major modern reference book on all aspects of Islam to have been written by a practising Muslim.
