Islam in Focus (3rd Edition) By : Hammudah Abd al Ati Islam in Focus is one of the best-known and most widely distributed general introductions to Islam by a Muslim author. In it, Abd al-Ati directs his message both to Muslims and non-Muslims using a modernist tone with an ethical emphasis. Abd al-Ati acquired a style of religious discourse that Westerners receive positively. The book appears to have been written near the end of his life, thus it amounts to a final summation of his views based on his whole life's experience, a fact that further enhances the books interest and value. - Dr. Khalid Yahya Blankinship Temple University --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
