It covers all aspects of the religion in clear and concise chapters, The origins of Islam, the Koranic law and how it is dispensed; The Muslim A look at Islamic nations and their relative importance; The major events in the history of Islam; and, Islamic sects and the rise of militant Islam in the 20th and 21st centuries.
