Simplified Encyclopedia of schools, sects and religions

Great investigative work, research, and gathering of identifying the different religions, their founders, their histories, their thoughts.

There is therefore, a special part for Islam, legal schools, misguided groups and sects, even contemporary.

Big job, referenced in two volumes, Saudi edition.

Note: This is a great job encyclopedic useful, informative and comparative religions and major sects. Unfortunately, the authors of the research are close to Ikhwans will thus include glowing passages to the Brotherhood or some of their eminences or other unflattering or false passages to the da'wah Salafiyyah. So beware these points. For more info on the subject: http://www.sahab.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=50938
