This work is designed for students preparing for GCE A Level, and undergraduate students who may be studying Islam for the first time. It covers all the main topics of Islam, including history, the life of Muhammad, the Qur'an, beliefs and teachings, the Muslim way of life and contemporary Islam. These topics are covered in depth, but the structure of the book allows easy access, so that it could be used for coursework assignments by more able GCSE pupils. Other features include: in-depth study of the beliefs and teaching of Islam, with the views of various Muslim scholars; covers materials included on a number of university foundation courses, as well as A Level; the subject is clearly set out and any technical terms explained; and the study of Islam in the UK.
