Waines, a respected scholar of Islamic studies, draws upon his extensive knowledge to present a balanced and insightful perspective on Islam’s diverse traditions and interpretations. This particular copy’s annotations and markings offer a glimpse into the thoughts and insights of a previous reader, adding an extra layer of intellectual engagement for the discerning collector or student of comparative religion.
