"Best book on Islam EVER. But it may not be for the non-specialist. I don't know 'cause I read it after becoming a "specialist", but he does really go through things in detail so one can be versed, not just in Islam, but in the debates about sources, etc., that go on within and without the Muslim world."
"writing this controversial book had consequence expulsion of him from his motherland, Pakistan. his liberal view in understanding Islam was contradictory with his formalist counterpart led by Abu Al-A'la Al-maududi. But it was worthed expulsion because this book is absolutely the masterpiece contribution for the development of islamic studies and to straighten western misled point of view toward Islam."
