{"product_id":"elijah-muhammad-and-islam-herbert-berg-9780814791134","title":"Elijah Muhammad and Islam","description":"\u003cp\u003eElijah Muhammad is arguably the most significant figure in the history of Islam in the United States. Successor to W. D. Fard, the founder of the Nation of Islam, and a mentor to Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad led the Nation of Islam for over forty years.\u003cbr\u003eIn Elijah Muhammad and Islam, Herbert Berg focuses on Elijah Muhammad's religiosity, which is frequently brought into question as the authenticity of the Nation of Islam as \"truly Islamic\" remains hotly debated. To better comprehend this powerful and controversial figure, Berg contextualizes Elijah Muhammad and his religious approach within the larger Islamic tradition, exploring his use of the Qur'an, his interpretation of Islam, and his relationships with other Muslims. Above all, Berg seeks to understand--not define or label--Muhammad as a Muslim. To do otherwise, he argues, is to misunderstand and distort the man, his teachings, his movement, and his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herbert Berg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814791131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814791134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/10\/2009 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009","brand":"Herbert Berg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926453747967,"sku":"9780814791134","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_53e33c81-f1f4-4394-b5b5-f294a5a4f06f.jpg?v=1681083163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elijah-muhammad-and-islam-herbert-berg-9780814791134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
