Islam and the Destiny of Man by Charles Le Gai Eaton (Author)
‘Islam and the Destiny of Man’
By Charles Le Gai Eaton (Author)
Description:
A new, revised edition, in paperback, of a highly successful book. 'Islam and the Destiny of Man' is a wide-ranging study of the religion of Islam from a unique point of view. The author was brought up as an agnostic and embraced Islam at an early age after writing a book (commissioned by T. S. Eliot) on Eastern religions and their influence on Western thinkers. The aim of 'Islam and the Destiny of Man' is to explain what it means to be a Muslim, a member of a community which embraces a quarter of the world's population and to describe the forces which have shaped their hearts and minds. Throughout the book the author is concerned not simply with Islam in isolation, but with the very nature of religious faith, its spiritual and intellectual foundations and the light it casts upon the mysteries and paradoxes of the human condition.
'Considered essential by [those] seeking to understand Islam.'
(Sunday Telegraph)
‘...a book dealing with the most vital and crucial questions now agitating our lives.'
(Maryam Jameelah -- Muslim World Book Review)
'This book deserves to be read over and over again.'
(Muslim Education Quarterly)
'This is a beautifully written book. It offers a taste of theology, of history, of aesthetics and of eschatology blended in such way as to provide a whole and balanced image, a vision of life that is both comprehensive and thoroughly Islamic.'
(Parabola)
‘Considered essential by [those] seeking to understand Islam.’
(Sunday Telegraph)
‘This book deserves to be read over and over again.’
