This book defines, perhaps for the first time in the history of the intellectual and religious tradition of Islam, the meaning of worldview from the perspective of Islam. The definition is articulated in the gathering together of the fundamental elements in the vision of reality and truth that projects the worldview of Islam into a meaningful whole. This articulation and contradiction of the challenges to that vision encountered throughout the ages to the present time. This is the third print and the only English edition approved and permitted by the author. The book is published in hardcover binding, blanket with dust jacket and premium quality papers; picked by the author himself. The author also designed the calligraphy printed on the front cover of this book.
