Description
The Heart of Islam: Enduring Values for Humanity by Seyyed Hossein Nasr is a profound and eloquent exploration of the spiritual, ethical, and intellectual traditions of Islam. Written in the aftermath of 9/11, Nasr seeks to bridge misunderstandings between the Islamic world and the West by presenting the core teachings and universal values of Islam in a clear and accessible way. In this work, Nasr emphasizes principles such as compassion, justice, peace, love, knowledge, and respect for all of creation—values he argues are shared across civilizations and faiths. He delves into the spiritual heart of Islam, shedding light on its rich intellectual and mystical heritage, while addressing contemporary issues such as violence, extremism, and the misrepresentation of Islam in modern discourse. The Heart of Islam is both an introduction to the faith and a call for greater interfaith understanding and dialogue. It reflects Nasr’s lifelong commitment to traditional Islamic philosophy and his vision of Islam as a force for harmony and spiritual renewal in the modern world. This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper, more nuanced understanding of Islam’s enduring values and its relevance to humanity today.
