The author presents short essays on each aforementioned topic, straightforward but to-the-point, making it almost a “Book of Islamic Topics List”. A lot of information packed into a short space.

Interesting for the beginning student of Islam, this book was written before the author published his much-more expansive “Dictionary of Islam.”
