This work by one of the most influential Muslim scholars of this century comes at a time when a host of Islamic terminology has been thrust into the current media coverage about Islam and Muslims. In his inimitable style, Shaykh Yusuf Qaradawi’s Madkhal li-Ma‘rifah al-Islam attempts to explain Islamic concepts and decipher their meaning in the context of contemporary debates. Divided into five chapters, his explanation of Islamic concepts is compared with current issues and perspectives on Islam. This work is not an attempt to preach to the reader but aims to fill the gaps in one’s understanding of the Islamic worldview.
