Islam is a perfect faith and way of life. It is a complete system in itself, for the life in this world and the next world. For knowing Islam, it is essential to study its philosophy, ideology and principles and for that, one has to approach original sources, viz. Holy Quran and Tradition. However, it is not possible for every one to refer to these sources, which are originally in Arabic. Of course, there are commentaries and explanatory books in Persian, Urdu as well as in English and other western languages. Still, it remains difficult to take benefit of these voluminous secondary sources. Hence, a dire need for a comprehensive and exhaustive work on Islam was felt. This exclusive multi-volume is aimed at filling that room. The International Encyclopaedia of Islam consists of nine volumes and successfully covers all important aspects of Islam, as a religion and faith. These volumes, namely are: 1. Islamic Philosophy, 2. Faith in Islam, 3. Principles of Islam, 4. Islamic Manners, 5. Islam and Social Justice, 6. Judicial System in Islam, 7. Human Rights in Islam, 8. Islam and Education, 9. Science and Islam. These volumes virtually cover the whole Islam in a nutshell, which makes them reader-friendly. This multi-volume is essential for all scholars, researchers, students and general readers, the world over.
