"For many in the English-speaking world, Islam remains a mysterious religion. What is Islam in the first place? Does it mean "peace," or does it mean "submission"? Can it mean both? What is jihad? Sharia? Hadith? Who is Allah? What is a caliph, caliphate, or infidel? In this compact volume, Ayman S. Ibrahim provides explanations for more than one hundred important Islamic concepts and terms.Each term is described based on original Muslim sources, mainly written in Arabic, as well as ample scholarly studies." --Back cover.
