## Description

Buy No God but God: The Origins, Evolution, And Future of Islam Reprint by Aslan, Reza (ISBN: 9780812971897) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: No God but my God - This is one book that is really best read cover to cover without omission. If you want to understand the modern day behaviour of Islamic populations, you need to know both the belief and the history of how it arose. Aslan suceeds by starting at the chronological beginning and later on devoting a chapter to a few of the major sects within Islam. The book title derives from the 5th pillar of Islam : the profession of faith. Ironically each major sect (as the author points out) seems to have a different version of this profession of faith, despite being known as one of the three great monotheistic religions. The reasons for the differences only make sense in the light of history, which Aslan has a very good grasp of. I should add that the chronological diverging of religious practice seems to be a common trait of all major belief systems and not a critism unique to any particular one. I thought that author bias (we all have one), was kept to a minimum, although I felt personal emphasis was given to the (very significant) suffering inflicted Husayn ibn Ali at the battle of Karbala. So I wasn't surprised to read later on that the author originated from Iran (although fled to the US during the revolution of 1979) To sumarise, this book is a scholarly, yet readable story of Islam and should also edify the average westerner (like me) on the rights and wrongs of history, especially with regard to the British empire.
Review: A must read for everybody, really - I found this book astonishingly readable, so I can wholeheartedly recommend it to non-religious and non-academic readers who happen to need some up-to-date insight into Islam. It is clearsighted in its historical scientific approach, and up-to-date on the major researches going on in comparative religious studies in this field. I gained insights which led t me to correct some positions I held about Islam having lived in so-called Islamic countries for some time. For understanding how we can develop strategies together to lead us out of the current rather antagonistic and sometimes violent encounters between the major religions of the world this book has clear pointers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slightly bias but pleasant read.
*by M***A on 12 April 2014*

I'm very interested in Islam and generally in everything concerning Middle East so I was no ignorant to the book subject that is why rather early on I've noticed that Mr Aslan is a bit too pro shism. However I think it's acceptable as many other books are pro sunni or simply ignore shia branch of Islam. The book however does not suffer much from it, Mr Aslan is a very knowledgeable gentleman and certainly can write, the book is full of interesting facts and anecdotes so I would certainly recommend it. I think it's a good book for a person who know little or next to nothing of Islam as for someone else it can be probably a bit boring to read again what are the pilars of Islam and alike, on the other hand it's written in a way that I found it interesting despite knowing all this already.
