The book also discusses the historical formation and development of Islam’s many interpretative traditions and orientations including Sunnism, Shiʿism, Ibadism and Sufism. It also covers the diverse social and cultural institutions that Muslims have built and through which they have expressed their beliefs and ideas, as well as the numerous artists, intellectuals and personalities who have contributed to the story of Islam"-- |
