Description

In the case of Islam, there has been much recent confusion in the Western world centered on distorted portrayals of its core values. Seyyed Hossein Nasr offers a timely presentation of the core spiritual and social values of Islam, such as peace, compassion, social justice, and tolerance. Each chapter shows the roots of these values in Islamic scripture, teaching, and tradition, and shows parallels with their counterparts in Jewish and Christian traditions. Nasr calls Jews, Christians, and Muslims to a new future of mutual respect and common global purpose, as he portrays the beauty and appeal of the heart of the faith of 1.2 billion people.
