Conference of the Books - The Search for Beauty in Islam

Based on actual cases, these original essays present an honest and critical evaluation of the problems and challenges that confront Muslims in the Contemporary world. Using the Muslim experience in the United States as a lens, the author examines what he identifies as a pervasive alienation suffered by Muslims over their place in history, source of identity, and moral foundations. This book attempts to reclaim what the author maintains is a core moral value in Islam- the value of beauty.
