## Description

A fascinating, accessible introduction to Islam from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Zealot and host of BelieverFINALIST FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD In No god but God, internationally acclaimed scholar Reza Aslan explains Islam—the origins and evolution of the faith—in all its beauty and complexity. This updated edition addresses the events of the past decade, analyzing how they have influenced Islam’s position in modern culture. Aslan explores what the popular demonstrations pushing for democracy in the Middle East mean for the future of Islam in the region, how the Internet and social media have affected Islam’s evolution, and how the war on terror has altered the geopolitical balance of power in the Middle East. He also provides an update on the contemporary Muslim women’s movement, a discussion of the controversy over veiling in Europe, an in-depth history of Jihadism, and a look at how Muslims living in North America and Europe are changing the face of Islam. Timely and persuasive, No god but God is an elegantly written account that explains this magnificent yet misunderstood faith.Praise for No god but God “Grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined . . . a literate, accessible introduction to Islam.”—The New York Times “[Reza] Aslan offers an invaluable introduction to the forces that have shaped Islam [in this] eloquent, erudite paean to Islam in all of its complicated glory.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration.”—The New York Times Book Review “Acutely perceptive . . . For many troubled Muslims, this book will feel like a revelation, an opening up of knowledge too long buried.”—The Independent (U.K.) “Thoroughly engaging and excellently written . . . While [Aslan] might claim to be a mere scholar of the Islamic Reformation, he is also one of its most articulate advocates.”—The Oregonian

Review: This book is all I was looking for. - This book is all I was looking for. The evolution of Islam, from the end of caliphate to the formation of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the developement of law and theology, the Iran revolution and the role of Islam and Muslims in the nineteenth and twentieth century anti colonial movements, discovering heroes like Dr. Ali Shariati, Jamal al din al Afghani, Hasan al banna, Syed Qutb, Maulana Maududi (not my hero) and Syed Ahmed Khan and how their principles and ideas are leading modern Muslim societies. As far as origin is concerned, Reza Aslan present interesting view, earlier I was aware only about social and cultural dimension of daur e jahilliya, Reza is looking at the religions of daur e Jahilliya from paganism to Judaism, Christianity and hanifism (I read about them for very first time) and their intersection. Reza argued that Muslim countries sooner or later will develop into democracies which will ofcourse be different from American model and will be based upon the Medinian model and on the prophet Muhammad's principles of egalitarian society. Meanwhile Reza Aslan is my current favourite.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Enlightening
*by A***N on 8 June 2020*

In all sincerity, I don't know how to start up composing this review for this incredible book by this brilliant author who's nothing but a genius. I'm moved by this book and truly speaking this is an understatement. The book as it says dives into its origins and radiantly takes you in a deeply knowledgeable ride about the religion's evolution over a period of years. The book has examined so many topics that it made me fall in love with it as it unlocked my mind to think more and ask more and whatever I could ask for was covered in the next chapter which left me thoroughly captivated and awestruck. The book according to me should be read by everyone interested in history, Islam, global affairs and religion to better understand the complexity which has been broken down as simply as it could've been. The book takes one in a long and enlightening quest which feels genuinely worth as it departs the reader with an enlightened intellect. This book is everything I needed.
