دانلود کتاب A Reader on Classical Islam

Peters in this book gives an overview of Islam based on Islamic sources. He describes the religion, beliefs and concepts. He provides quotations from Islamic thinkers. sometimes he includes his views. He does not separate if the sources are reliable or not.Areas covered, birth of Prophet(SA), expansion of Islam, Islamic sciences, islamic thinkers, Islamic Theology, Hadith Science, Sufism.There are certainly some statements that are disputed by others but it is not Newton's Physics so that all get the same results. I would not take the book as an absolute source book but rather as a refernce point to help to make up ones mind and go to the referenced sources directly. Book has considerable references for comparison or see the quotations in content. It is not written from the point of a Sufi who has belief in Islam but rather as a Theology.
