Description
In a world where Islam is one of the most talked about yet widely misunderstood religions, Reza Aslan delivers the definitive account of its history, its transformations, and where it is headed. No God but God is an extraordinary journey through 1,400 years of Islamic civilisation — from the birth of the Prophet Muhammad in the deserts of Arabia to the complex global faith practised by nearly two billion people today.
This fully revised and updated edition traces the origins of Islam with the skill of a storyteller and the rigour of a scholar. Aslan takes readers through the rise of the first Muslim community, the dramatic split between Sunni and Shia, the golden age of Islamic art and science, the impact of colonialism, and the modern-day struggle for the soul of the faith. He challenges stereotypes and oversimplifications, presenting Islam not as a monolithic religion frozen in time, but as a living, evolving tradition shaped by centuries of debate, reform, and renewal.
Praised by A.S. Byatt in The Guardian as essential reading, this book is ideal for anyone — Muslim or non-Muslim — who wants to understand one of the most important forces shaping our world.

- The fascinating story of Islam’s origins and the life of Prophet Muhammad
