58695) UNDERSTANDING ISLAM , Frithjof Schuon , A Mandala Books 1965 ,

Islam has been more misunderstood than any other religion. In this book, which has long been regarded as a classic of its kind and which is now at last available in paperback, Frithjof Schuon explains the basis of Islamic belief `from within`. T. S. Eliot described Schuon as the most impressive writer in the field of comparative religion that he had ever encountered. Taking as his point of departure the theme that Islam is `the meeting between God and Man`, Schuon brilliantly and lucidly expounds the Islamic view of life, the role of the Prophet and the Quran, and the nature of Sufism and the path of spiritual ascent.

FRITHJOF SCHUON was born in Switzerland in 1907. He studied Arabic, and Arabic calligraphy, in Paris, then set out to discover more about religions such as Islam and Buddhism in North Africa, India and Turkey. His books, which include In the Tracks of Buddhism and Dimensions of Islam, reflect both the range and depth of his spiritual understanding.
