In her new book, Mona Siddiqui, a well-known media commentator, makes the first major contribution to the understanding of hospitality both within Islam and beyond. She explores and compares teachings within the various Muslim traditions over the centuries, while also drawing on materials as diverse as Islamic belles lettres, Christian reflections on almsgiving and charity, and Islamic and Western feminist writings on gender issues. Applying a more theological approach to the idea of mercy as a fundamental basis for human relationships, this book will appeal to a wide audience, particularly readers interested in Islam, ethics, and religious studies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed October 1, 2015) Subject Denny, Frederick Mathewson SUBJECT Denny, Frederick Mathewson fast Subject Hospitality -- Religious aspects.
