living islam _ Islamic tradition

In attempt to reach those Muslims not yet familiar with 'traditional'
texts, sciences or teachings, a special edition of 'The Broken Chain:
Reflections upon the Neglect of a Tradition' (Aftab Malik, Amal
Press, 2001) is being prepared specifically for the upcoming ISNA
convention in Washington.

If anyone has read the book-and would like to send us some of your
comments, [if you found the book useful and why for example] they may
well find themselves included in a section of quotes from readers, to
be included in this new edition, In sha Allah.
