Volume I: The Foundations of Islam

The first volume examines the fundamental concepts that have inspired Muslims: the role of worship in Muslim life; the Muslim approach to God; the Islamic view of man as a composite of divine and earthly elements; the meaning and significance of revelation and prophet-hood in Islamic tradition as well as the two texts that contain the teachings of Islam—the Koran and the Sunna—along with the continual process of their interpretation.
