From the publisher: At the dawn of the Renaissance, Christian Europe was wearing Persian clothes, singing Arab songs, reading Spanish Muslim philosophy and eating off Mamluk Turkish brassware. This is the story of how Muslims taught Europe to live well and think clearly. It is the story of How Islam Created the Modern World.

One of the best-known and most widely distributed general introductions to Islam by a Muslim author. A good text to start with if you want to know what Islam is all about. 3rd Edition.

It offers what has not been published before: a detailed and practical step-by-step guide to culturally sensitive care. For most Muslims, Islamic practices and beliefs permeate many aspects of day-to-day life and these become particularly evident in a healthcare setting. In this book, the author — a Muslim hospital chaplain — explains why.
