Review: "This work attempts to introduce the characteristics of the Mohammedan Mission, with the aspiration to be faithful to its essential purposes and to historical truth at the same time. The author thus illustrates the different ways in which people have understood the Mission and the reasons that led them to those various interpretations. The book presents several alternative interpretations that actually existed but did not enjoy widespread acceptance and popularity." "This book looks to the future, attempting to respond to the needs of those who are rapidly becoming integrated into modern life, and to the new generations aspiring to an Islamic thought adapted to these processes."--Jacket
