About The Book: "Aspects of Islam" by Duncan Black MacDonald is a thoughtful exploration of Islamic beliefs, practices, and spiritual life from the perspective of a Christian scholar deeply engaged in Muslim-Christian dialogue. Drawing on his deep knowledge of Arabic and Islamic theology, MacDonald examines key elements such as the Qur’an, prayer, Sufism, Islamic law, and popular piety. The book offers insight into both the diversity and unity within Islam, aiming to foster understanding and mutual respect between faiths. It remains a significant interfaith study.
