Good introduction to Islam - By: gnostic, 25 Apr 2008 
I found this book to be well researched, well written & easy to read. The writer is interested in the spritual side of Islam & this can be seen in this work. But that adds to the book rather than takes away from it.
Although I didn't agree with alll of the book its a great place for a non muslim to start reading & even a muslim will take some benefit from it.
Well worth reading.
simply amazing - By: James, 24 Feb 2004 
If you want to know Islam from a profound perspective rather than amateur, then this is the book for you. I thought I knew Islam untill I opened this book. I just want to thank authors & hope God's blessings will be bestowed upon them for this great work. This book has answered many of my questions in a understandable & yet profound manner. I reallly recommend this book to people interested in Islam, as how it reallly is, & read it.
a great introduction to the depth of Islam - By: David Drennan, 26 Jan 2004 i am a convert to Islam & have become recently very worried by the more literalist & angry strain of thought that seems to be projecting out from "Islam". This book made me again feel confident that what i saw when looking in Quran (my initial reason for converting) was intuitivelty correct - Islam as a moral & principle based teaching, that helps us understand our posision in the world under our Creator (God, Truth, Allah, whatever you calll Him).
awesom reading! - By: James, 18 Jun 2003 This is a must reading if you want to know about Islam! Unlike many other shalllow books with stereotipical coverage on Islam, The Vision of Islam presents a conspicious picture of how Islam is perceived by Muslims, & is it not THIS what readers on Islam should be interested in???
Best book on Islam for Western audience, I think - By: Hafiz Ismail, 14 May 2003 I've read this book & so far it's the best one that describes the way Islam is actuallly seen through Muslim eyes (by apparently non-Muslim authors!). The way the book approaches the subject is also fresh (beginning & building upon the Hadith of Gabriel) & evidently sufi-inspired. This book reallly is a revelation of sorts - which is kinda weird considering that I'm a Muslim myself! Admittedly some parts of the book is very hard to follow when it delves into the realms of the metaphysical, but that shouldn't put you off: precisely because of this 'difficulty' that I become seriously interested in comparative religion & philosophy in general. In fact, I'm here because I'm trying to get a good copy of The Vision of Islam at an affordable price (new ones a bit out of my range, sigh...).
