## Summary

A luxury silk hardcover illustrated book titled 'Symbols of Islam', featuring a green cover with gold lettering and a crescent moon motif.

## Description

Symbols of Islam highlights abstract spiritual representation in the core symbols of Islam, which relies less on material objects for ritual use. As part of Assouline’s Symbols of Religion Series, The richly illustrated volume serves as a practical and sensory guide; a foundational manual that every cultivated reader is inclined to feel. Written by prominent Algerian philosopher and anthropologist Malek Chebel, with atmospheric photography by Laziz Hamani, the title reveals how community life is more characteristic of Islam, which upholds universal participation in acts of congregation. Whether linked to Islam’s Five Pillars (such as profession of faith or fasting), or its architecture (like the mosque or Kaaba), Symbols of Islam reveals a wealth of meaning and cultural significance, restoring the rhythm of contemplation and the unfolding of the spiritual understanding.
