‘To my knowledge, there is no similar general introduction to the different spaces of worship used by Muslims. The well-travelled author shares his first-hand experiences with readers, showing how cultural and geographical factors have shaped the surprisingly diverse Muslim communities around the world. Written in an easy-to-follow style, this short book is important in correcting the simplistic division of Muslims as either ‘Sunni’ or ‘Shi’i’ and revealing the variety of interpretations of Islam that coexist today.’
Dr Farhad Daftary, Director of the Institute of Ismaili Studies
I’m happy to announce the publication of my first book. It’s meant for a wide readership including students, members of Muslim communities as well as those broadly interested in the diversity of Muslim spaces of worship and practices. It’s written in an easy-to-read style and for those who prefer to listen rather than read, an audiobook is in the works too…It is being released on August 22nd and already available to pre-order from your favorite online retailers. Thanks to everyone, and there are many of you, who contributed to its publication. Rizwan Mawani
