The New Encyclopedia of Islam is the only singlevolume work in print which so comprehensively encompasses the beliefs, practices, history and culture of the Islamic world, in over 1300 entries. It has the further unique advantage of being written by a Western scholar of the Islamic faith, and has thus been already widely praised for straddling the cultures with an understanding and respect for the themes and topics covered. All aspects of religious belief, ritual, practices, prayer, significant political movements, spiritual and political leaders, art, architecture, sects, law, social institutions, history, ethnography, nations and states, languages, science, major cities and centers of learning are covered.Order outside North America, contact Stacey International Publishers, LondonWorldwide coverageNearly 1300 accessible entriesAssumes no previous knowledge of Islam24 pages of fullcolor photographs16 pages of color maps, dynastic charts, and diagramsThe most comprehensive singlevolume reference on Islam available60 new or substantially revised entries from the last editionNew or substantially revised entries in the 2001 edition:Abd alQadir, AmirAhkamAhmad of Rae BareillyAlexander's WallAlbaniaAlgerian Democratic RepublicAli Shir Nava'iAmir Khusraw DihlawiAqsaqalismAtabatAzadBangladeshBarabanschikiBareillyBarilwisBasmachisBeloshaposhnikiBosnia and HerzegovinaConstitution of MedinaDeobandDnmehDunganElkhasaiosFaraidi MovementFaramush KhanehFundamentalismGhalib, Mirza Asad Allah KhanHafizHamasHarrahHeratIbn MasarrahKhaksarsIlyasIsfahanIstanbulJama KalmuckKazakhstanKhivaKhomeiniKirghizKubra, Najm adDinKumunKurdsLahoreLakhmidsMawardiOssetiansOvliadRabitah alIslamiyyahRudakiRussiade SacySahmii ImamTablighi Jama aatTajiksTalibanTurkmenistanZikrism
