I had to read this because it was assigned for my Islam class this fall. I can understand why. It is a perfect example of how not to do religious studies. Al Faruqi, late professor of Islamic Studies at Temple University, purports to write a description of Islam from the Muslim point of view. But he mixes his own Wahhabi point of view with descriptions of "what Islam is really like," such as when he slams the Sufis for basically ruining Islamic civilization. I also had a hard time telling if the book was supposed to be a scholarly description or an advertisement for Islam. All too often he sings the praises of Islam and doesn't touch on any of its history of violence, empire, and sexism. I just can't recommend this as a decent scholarly source.

In this study Al-Faruqi presents the meaning and message of Islam to the wider world community. Key elements of the faith are summarized and explained in an overall theme of seven parts consisting of 21 chapters. Yet the chapters represent far more than a simple description of Muslim peoples and orthodox practice. Al Faruqi was a great thinker, formidable in logic, and relished intellectual engagement on every level, particularly when it came to Islam and other Faiths. And it is this unique reasoning process that is reflected in this work, Al Faruqi's signature contribution, which not only expounds on Islam as spiritual faith and action, but also on Islam the great experience.
