Synopsis
Seven Doors to Islam reveals the religious worldview and spiritual tradition of the world's one billion Muslims. Spanning the breadth of Islamic civilization from Morocco to Indonesia, this book demonstrates how Muslims have used the literary and visual arts in all their richness and diversity to communicate religious values. Each of the seven chapters opens a door that leads progressively closer to the very heart of Islam, from the foundational revelation in the Qur'an to the transcendent experience of the Sufi mystics. However, unlike most studies of Islam, which see spirituality as the concern of a minority of mystical seekers, Seven Doors demonstrates its central role in every aspect of the Islamic tradition., Seven Doors to Islam reveals the religious worldview and spiritual tradition of the world's one billion Muslims.

- a***d (809)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseUnfortunately, so many eBay sellers use the same generic picture and false prewritten narratives for their listings. I usually skip such listing entirely! "ShopN' Joy" caught my attention when I saw multiple pictures of the actual listed book and a narrative that was clearly specific to the book. Buyers were even offered options to upgrade shipping. The book arrived well packaged and exactly as described. Multiple pictures and a narrative to match. Excellent! Very well done by every measure.The Book Thief by Markus Zusak 2007 Trade Paperback YA Holocaust Historical Fict (#266422568829)
