Islam has probably been more misunderstood than any other religion. In this book, the author explains the basis of Islamic belief "from within". He takes as his point of departure the theme that Islam is "the meeting between God and man" and expounds the Islamic view of life, the role of the Prophet and the Qur'an, and the nature of Sufism and the path of spiritual ascent.

Originally published in 1970, this book brings to light some important but lesser known aspects of Islam and is written from a predominantly Sufi point of view. There are chapters on Christ and the Virgin Mary as well as on the interpretation of the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad and his place in the Monotheistic Tradition as a whole. The book contains many references to other religions, to Hinduism and Buddhism and particularly to Christianity.

Schuon asserts that to transcend religious differences, we must explore the esoteric nature of the spiritual path back to the Divine Oneness at the heart of all religions.

"The prerogative of the human state is objectivity; the essential content of which is the Absolute. There is no knowledge without objectivity of the intelligence; there is no freedom without objectivity of the will; and there is no nobility without objectivity of the soul . . . Esoterism seeks to realize pure and direct objectvity; this is its raison d'etre." 
These are the opening words of a work in which the author explains why esoterism is both possible and necessary. It is the intellectual principle capable of explaining the formal contradictions of the various orthodox religions as well as the errors of materialistic and deconstructionist modern thought. In addition, esoterism is the way by which man may realize his connection with absolute Truth or Reality, despite the confusions and obstacles with which technological civilization and its philosophy seek to obscure our vision and weaken our resolve. In the author's words, "Just as rationalism can remove faith, so esoterism can restore it."

Logic & Transcendence

Man's most fundamental needs may be summed up as the need for Knowledge, for Love, and for a Way to salvation. At the present time many people feel cut off from any true meaning of existence, and the rush and personal worry of modern life as well as inner states appear to make it more and more difficult to satisfy these needs, to find a fundamental basis of living. The habitual limitations of current modern thought are quickly dispersed and the spiritual perspectives normal for mankind are clearly set forth in this new translation of Schuon's second book. An extraordinary breadth of subjects rendered in an aphoristic style makes the wisdom of these reflections accessible to a wide range of readers. The "spiritual contours" of various traditions are seen in the light of their necessary divergences, Schuon's emphasis always being on the one hand the essential nature of things and on the other the great question of knowing what aspect of Truth or Reality it is that motivates the entire being of a given individual. For, as the author says, "metaphysical knowledge is one thing; its actualization ... quite another." Of particular interest here are the passages on the spiritual phenomenon of Ramakrishna and the interplay between knowledge, love and virtue in spiritual life.
