Islam, Arabs, and the Intelligent World of the Jinn by Amira El-Zein
5.0
This book was fun!
It's very different from what I normally read, but it was a topic I very much required to read for research purposes.
This book was well-researched and well written. The tone was far from boring and the chapters and topics handled were very interesting.
I liked the notes a lot and the wealth of resources in them. Also, the incorporation of Arabic in including the true names of things and their translations. The objectivity of the author on the subject of Jinn and Islamic mythology and core concepts is also note-worthy.
Unfortunately, there aren't many books that tackle the issue of Jinn like this one. So, this book in its wealth of resources and research is basically a gem and worth keeping as a reference.
So, if you're looking to read something different or in the mood for Islamic spiritualism and fantastical creatures, go for this book. It's interesting, and light-enough yet well-researched.
