Now, Cornell University Press is making this invaluable resource accessible to English-language readers.More current than the latest German edition on which it is based, Islam in the World Today covers a comprehensive array of topics in concise essays by some of the world's leading experts on Islam, including:? the history of Islam from the earliest years through the twentieth century, with particular attention to Sunni and Shi'i Islam and Islamic revival movements during the last three centuries;? data on the advance of Islam along with current population statistics;? Muslim ideas on modern economics, on social order, and on attempts to modernize Islamic law (shari'a) and apply it in contemporary Muslim societies;? Islam in diaspora, especially the situation in Europe and America;? secularism, democracy, and human rights; and? women in Islam Twenty-four essays are each devoted to a specific Muslim country or a country with significant Muslim minorities, spanning Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union.Additional essays illuminate Islamic culture, exploring local traditions; the languages and dialects of Muslim peoples; and art, architecture, and literature. Detailed bibliographies and indexes ensure the book's usefulness as a reference work. 606 $aIslam$y20th century 606 $aIslam$y21st century 606 $aIslam$xHistory 606 $aIslam and state 606 $aIslamic civilization 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam and state. 615 0$aIslamic civilization. 676 $a297 686 $a11.80$2bcl 701 $aEnde$b Werner$f1937-$01513611 701 $aSteinbach$b Udo$0673355 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781513403321 996 $aIslam in the world today$93748205 997 $aUNINA
