Teaching Humanity: An Alternative Introduction to Islam Schubel Vernon James
This book introduces Islam through a humanistic lens, by centering Sufi and Shi'a traditions and expressions. The book stresses the diversity of Islamic beliefs and practices, presenting them as varied responses to the universally shared multivalent concepts of tawhid (unity of God), nubuwwa (prophecy) and qiyama (the Day of Judgment). While most introductory books emphasize the shari'a, and especially the "five pillars of Islam," as its primary defining characteristic of Islam, Vernon James Schubel provides an alternative introduction to Islam which emphasizes the importance of humanity and the human being within Islamic thought and practice.
The book concludes with a call to redefine "mainstream" Islam, as a religious Readers are introduced to the life of the Prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an, and the emergence and development of Sunni, Shi'a and Sufi Islam.
