366 Readings From Islam

Islam means 'submission to God'. A Muslim is someone who has submitted to God, recognizing Muhammad as a prophet of God. 366 Readings From Islam gives the essence of this religion in a nutshell. The book includes, the life of Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq, written soon after the prophet's death; the Quran, received by Muhammad, which is the sacred text of Islam; stories, poems, sayings and spiritual insights on the Sufi mystics; and philosophical reflections on the great Arab thinkers. This book is part of 366 Readings Series, which is the first comprehensive collection of the spiritual literature of the whole world presented in accessible form. It is aimed at people who wish to broaden their spiritual outlook, and also at the much larger group who has little or no attachment to a religious community, but seek spiritual wisdom.
