The Islam Book by DK

The Islam Book by DK introduces the history, beliefs and practices of Islam through illustrated articles, diagrams and explanations of key ideas. Subjects include the Qur’an, the life of Muhammad, prayer, fasting and pilgrimage.

Part of DK’s Big Ideas series, the book also considers Islamic philosophy, art, culture and developments in the modern world. It is a broad reference for readers seeking an introduction, rather than a translation of the Qur’an or a manual for one school of religious practice.
