"Understanding Islam" by Frithjof Schuon

[Sohel Q. Khan]

--
"Islam is the meeting between God as such and man as such....
Islam confronts what is immutable in God with what is
permanent in man." These are the opening words of the
book "Understanding Islam" authored by Frithjof Schuon.
Both Westerners unfamiliar with islam and Muslims seeking
deeper understanding of the basis faith will be struck by Schuon's
masterful elucidation of the spiritual world of
Islam. Schuon's foundation is always the intrinsic nature
of things rather than any confessional point of view. This
perspective opens up new avenues of approach and surprising
insights into the "Five pillars" of Islam, the Sunna, the Prophet
and the esoteric dimension which is the kernel of Muslim sprituality.
"Understanding Islam" written by Schuon is intended primarily for Western
readers give the language in which it is written and the nature of its
dialectic, but there are doubtless some Orientals, of Western
formation--men who have perhaps lost sight of the solid grounds for faith
in God and Tradition--who equally may be able to profit from it and in any
case to understand that Tradition is not a childish and outmoded mythology
but a science that is terribly real.
