What exactly is ‘Islam’ and what does it mean to be a ‘Muslim’ in the world today? Since the events of 9/11 and 7/7, Islam has become one of the most controversial and misunderstood religions in the world. Introducing Islam encourages students to put aside their preconceptions and explore this fascinating religion.

William Shepard, an experienced teacher in the field, traces the history of Islam, from its early environment andoriginsin the life and career of Mohammed,through its classical expressions toits interactions with the West inthe modern world. Shepard devotes a chapter each to important topics such as The Qur’an, Islamic law, Islamic theology, and the Sufi movement. In addition to this, four chapters are devoted to studies of Islam in individual countries: Turkey, Iran, Egypt and Indonesia, and Shepard explores Islamic civilization through discussion of Islamic art and culture, and community rituals.

Introducing Islam is the ideal introduction for students wishing to gain a sympathetic understanding of Islam. Illustrated throughout, the book also includes text boxes, summary charts, a glossary of key Arabic terms, and a list of further reading to aid students’ understanding and revision.

This book was informative and stimulating in learning about Islam. It contains a lot of information. However, as with any religion you will want to consult some other texts to gain a clearer understanding of contexts. I read this book with many others at the same time and found it helpful with details the other books leave out and vice versa with other books.

Kulwes

This book gives the non-Muslim a great opportunity to understand the Muslim point of view. It helps to demystify the religion and enables the reader to see Muslims as multifaceted human beings.

Dont like it

Not the same book as pictured. Plain blue front with very large font, written at the equivalent of a third grade reading level, not appropriate for college or advanced student. Not a textbook by any stretch of the imagination, very disappointed

Buzatus

This is a good introductory book on the religion of Islam. Shepard understands that Islam is not a monolithic edifice, and that the understanding of it depends very much in the individual, the time, and the place, as upon the generally agreed concepts of Sharia itself. Appropriately his text is nuanced toward the various Sunni, Shia, and Sufi perspectives of Islam, and his history, religious overview, and detail of Islamic tradition should strike most instructors as useful and more than adequate for an introductory text. There are weaknesses of the book. Shepard relies too heavily on dropping terms, and although there is a useful glossary and most terms are well-explained, the frequency of their use may confuse some student readers. His questions at the end of the chapter also tend to be general, vague, and overall weak. A good instructor will not be reliant upon them and can compensate. Also, he does provide some political context and background for Egypt, Iran, and Indonesia, which are fairly succinct and good, but one might wish he had done more of this. Overall I would rate this as a strong textbook, but certainly one that could be improved. (p.s. illustrations and pictures are comparatively few. The text is all black an white, but that may keep the cost down)

Nice introductory guide to Islam. Not interesting in some parts but solid in general.
