THE VISION OF ISLAM William C. Chittick/ Sachiko Murata Exploring the fundamental Muslim religious beliefs, this book covers the four dimensions of Islam as outlined in the Hadith of Gabriel: practice, faith, spirituality, and the Islamic view of history. Interweaving teachings from the Qur’an, the sayings of the Prophet, and the great authorities of the tradition, the authors introduce the essentials of each dimension, then go on to describe how each has been manifested in Islamic institutions through the course of history. The book tries to pry open the door to the Islamic universe and to the Muslim understanding of reality. It successfully finds Islam’s vision of itself within the Islamic intellectual tradition in general and the Sufi tradition in particular.
