"[This collection] is distinguished by its wide range and the care which has clearly gone into the selection of texts for inclusion. . . . Attention has understandably been focused on what might be called the religious aspects of Islam, such as scripture, theology, sects, law, ritual and mysticism, but within those limits the texts chosen are marked by substantially of content, by geographical, chronological and social diversity, and by an intelligent use of less well known authors. . . . An excellent starting point for a systematic and analytical examination of Islam."—G. R. Hawting, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies

Provides an introduction to the thought and practices of this frequently misunderstood religious group, using well-documented source material and recent research.

Muslims - Vol 1: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices Volume 1: The Formative Years (The Library of Religious Beliefs and Practices)

The religion of Islam is of vital concern to everyone in the contemporary world. Understanding what Muslims think about the modern world and how they react to its challenges is an important task for all who wish to locate Islam in contemporary life. Andrew Rippin focuses on how Muslims perceive the contemporary period and explores how they understand the Qur'an and the figure of Muhammad as relevant to life today. Professor Rippin explains how, in Muslim life today, a revealed, inherited world view is in tension with and changing alongside an emerging, newly discovered world view. He explores how these two world views are to be reconciled and analyzes the various recommendations of selected Muslim thinkers. He looks at modern Muslim views on religious authority, including feminism's "new" Islam, and shows how these views affect the actual lived practice of Islam.

Muslims: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices : The Contemporary Period (MUSLIM: THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES)

The religion of Islam is of vital concern to the modern world. In Muslims Volume 2: The Contemporary Period Andrew Rippin examines Muslims' perception of and reaction to the challenges and changes occurring in contemporary life and questions their ability to relate the Qur'an and the figure of Muhammed to 19th and 20th century culture. The inherited world view of Islam is compared with the emerging newly-discovered world view of the late 20th century and is explored in two ways, firstly by examining modern Muslim views on religious authority and by considering their effect on the actual lived practice of Islam. Essential reading for all scholars and lecturers of Islam and comparative religion.

Muslims: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices

The revised, third edition of this authoritative and accessible text provides a survey of Islamic history and thought from its formative period to the present day. Many aspects of the discussion are updated and there are two new chapters on intellectual thought and medieval developments. Redressing the lack of critical thought evident in so many introductory textbooks on Islam, Andrew Rippin examines the elements which come together to form Islam, looking in particular at the Qur’an and the traditions from Muhammad. He traces the way these sources have interacted through history to create the disciplines of theology and law, as well as provide the basis for the alternative visions of Islam found in Shi’ism and Sufism. The trajectory of Muslim interaction with these sources is followed down through the medieval period to contemporary times, with speculation for what the future might hold for Islam.  With a combination of well-documented source material, recent research in the field and thorough critical analysis, Rippin provides an introduction to this important and frequently misunderstood religious group in a concise, challenging and refreshing way. Teachers, students and the interested layperson will find this an invaluable introduction to the subject.

The revised, second edition of this authoritative and accessible text combines the previous two separate volumes, providing a survey of Islamic history and thought from its formative period to the present day. Many aspects of the discussion are updated and there are two new chapters on intellectual thought and medieval developments.

This concise and authoritative guide provides a complete survey of Islamic history and thought from its formative period to the present day. It examines the unique elements which have combined to form Islam, in particular the Qu'ran and the influence of Muhammad, and traces the ways in which these sources have interacted historically to create Muslim theology and law, as well as the alternative visions of Islam found in Shi'ism and Sufism. Combining core source materials with coverage of current scholarship and of recent events in the Islamic world, Andrew Rippin introduces this hugely diverse and widespread religion in a succinct, challenging and refreshing way. Using a distinctive critical approach which promotes engagement with key issues, from fundamentalism and women's rights to problems of identity and modernity, it is ideal for students seeking to understand Muslims and their faith. The improved and expanded third edition now contains brand new sections on twenty-first century developments, from the Taliban to Jihad and Al Qaeda, and includes updated references throughout.
