Reviews / Votes
"The Muslim 100 is aimed primarily at students and the general educated readers although scholars will also find it useful and informative. This book has filled a gap in modern Islamic authorship, where the demand is urgent for quick desk reference books on the lives and thoughts of leading Muslim personalities in various epochs of Islamic history. It is recommended to Muslim youth who are eager to learn more about their history and heritage. The author and Kube Publishing deserve credit for filling such gap. This book is bold in its assertions, encyclopedic in its scope and monumentally effective in its approach. " Professor Farid el-ShayyalMore details
