Description
Summary:Human Nature in Islam explores what such luminaries as Ibn-Abd-al-Barr, the greatest scholar of Spain, ar-Raghib al-Isfahani and Ibn Taymiyyah have said about this pivotal term from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Yasien Mohamed tackles the work of writers closer to our own day. Ali Shariati and Sayyid Qutb, the dualism of whose views the author exproses with great courtesy and honesty.
