Islam and the Destiny of Man

About this book

Charles Le Gai Eaton was a British diplomat and writer who embraced Islam in 1951. Islam and the Destiny of Man is his best-known book.

Eaton explains the Islamic worldview for a Western reader: the nature of God, the human being as Allah's representative on earth, the Prophet ﷺ, the Quran, the law and the spiritual path, and the life to come. He writes with depth and elegance, drawing comparisons with Western thought.

It is widely regarded as one of the finest introductions to the spirit of Islam in English.
