The complete text, in English and Arabic, has the unqualified endorsement of the two great schools of Islam, Shi'ah and Sunni, a fact of unique and unprecedented importance. The world is witnessing an Islamic Renaissance and this book offers an authoritative key to understanding the emerging African, Middle Eastern, and Asian nations.(Publisher). Good / good. Item #10802
