By John L. Esposito

Book Description

In a world where understanding transcends borders, this illuminating exploration reveals the profound spiritual and social dimensions of Islam across Asia's vast landscapes.

Through the insights of distinguished scholars, readers discover how Islamic principles shape the daily rhythms of governance, law, and community life across diverse Asian nations.
