5.0 out of 5 stars
Rare Masterpiece,
This review is from: History of Islamic Political Thought (Paperback)
I stumbled upon this book for one of my early research papers about Islam, and I was amazed. This is truly an academically honest masterpiece. It covers everything from the political system created in Islam right after Muhammad's death to the contemporary Salafi movement including the work of Maududi, Qutb, and Khomeini. It also references common hadiths, fikh, and the Sira, which is a breath of freash air because recently everybody believes they are an Islamic scholar but they've only remotely studied books about the Qur'an (not even the Qur'an itself, seriously it's frustrating in academia).
The bottom line is if you're a student (informal or formal) of Middle Eastern and Islamic politics you need this book. |
