Servants of Allah
About this book
"Even while enslaved, many Muslims managed to follow most of the precepts of their religion [...] 'Servants of Allah' illuminates the role of Islam both in the lives of individual practitioners and in communities. It shows that though the religion did not survive in its orthodox form, its mark can be found in certain religions, traditions, and artistic creations of people of African descent"--Back cover.
