Description from the publisher:
Among the great civilizations
of the world, Islam remains an enigma to Western readers.
Now, in a beautifully illustrated historical atlas, noted scholar of
religion Malise Ruthven recounts the fascinating and important history of the
Islamic world.
From the birth of the prophet Muhammed to the independence of post-Soviet
Muslim states in Central Asia, this accessible and informative atlas explains the
historical evolution of Islamic societies. Short essays cover a wide variety of
themes, including the central roles played by sharia (divine law) and fiqh (jurisprudence); philosophy; arts and
architecture; the Muslim city; trade, commerce, and manufacturing; marriage and family life; tribal distributions;
kinship and dynastic power; ritual and devotional practices; Sufism; modernist and reformist trends; the European
domination of the Islamic world; the rise of the modern national state; oil exports and arms imports; and Muslim
populations in non-Muslim countries, including the United States.
Lucid and inviting full-color maps chronicle the changing internal and external boundaries of the Islamic world,
showing the principal trade routes through which goods, ideas, and customs spread. Ruthven traces the impact of
various Islamic dynasties in art and architecture and shows the distribution of sects and religious minorities, the
structure of Islamic cities, and the distribution of resources. Among the book's valuable contributions is the
incorporation of the often neglected geographical and environmental factors, from the Fertile Crescent to the
North African desert, that have helped shape Islamic history.
Rich in narrative and visual detail that illuminates the story of Islamic civilization, this timely atlas is an
indispensable resource to anyone interested in world history and religion.
