Islam at the Crossroads

Islam, as a spiritual and social phenomenon, is still, in spite of all the drawbacks caused by the deficiencies of the Muslims, by far the greatest driving force mankind has ever experienced; and all my interest became, since then, centered around the problem of its regeneration. This little book is a humble contribution towards that great goal... it is the statement of a case, the case of Islam versus Western civilization. >It is not written for those to whom Islam is only one of the many, more or less useful, accessories to social life, but rather for those in whose hearts still lives a spark of the flame which burned in the hearts of the Companions of the Prophet (P). - Muhammad Asad, the author.
