FINALIST FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD
"Wise and passionate... an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration." -- The New York Times Book Review
Two decades after its original publication, No god but God remains a landmark work in understanding Islam's rich history and profound impact on the world. This 20th anniversary edition revisits the book that challenged the simplistic "clash of civilizations" narrative and offered a bold, nuanced portrait of a faith rooted in justice, equality, and compassion.
In this modern classic, Reza Aslan traces Islam's origins, from the revelations of Muhammad in Mecca and Medina to how the Prophet's vision of a radically egalitarian community was shaped, challenged, and interpreted by generations of Muslims, resulting in a faith of remarkable diversity and resilience. Moving through history to the modern era, Aslan confronts the politicization of Islam, the rise of extremist ideologies, and the pervasive Islamophobia that has distorted the religion's image, particularly in the post-9/11 world.
Fully revised and with a new preface and study guide, this edition connects Aslan's timeless insights to the profound changes shaping Islam today -- from the emergence of a global digital community to the ongoing struggles between tradition and modernity. Accessible yet deeply researched, No god but God remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the past, present, and future of Islam.
