From the rear cover

'[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 substantiality 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.'
