Islam in the World by Malise Ruthven (2nd Edition) is a comprehensive and insightful guide to understanding Islam, a religion practiced by over one billion people, making up more than a fifth of the global population. This book serves as an engaging and thorough introduction to Islam, exploring not only the spiritual and religious dimensions but also the political aspects that have historically been intertwined with the faith. Ruthven presents a detailed account of Islam, considering its historical, geographic, and social contexts, offering readers a well-rounded understanding of how the religion shapes and is shaped by the world around it.

In this revised second edition, Ruthven has reorganized the original content into smaller, more accessible sections with clearer subheadings, making the complex subject matter easier to navigate. One of the key additions to this edition is a new concluding chapter that delves into the role of women in Islam, examines the challenges Islam faces in an increasingly globalized world, and highlights key developments in Islamic political history since 1984. This period has been marked by significant events, including the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the global controversy surrounding the publication of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses.

Additionally, the second edition includes a fresh preface, updated maps, and revised data on the Muslim population's distribution across the globe. There is also a new chronology of major events in Islamic history, along with genealogical charts that provide greater clarity on the relationships between historical figures and movements. Through these updates, Islam in the World remains a valuable and up-to-date resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex and evolving role of Islam in the modern world.
