Abstract
For the authors and the editors, this book has been a wondrous adventure of sorts. We have had the opportunity to revisit the long and rich history of Islam and to identify those points in its formative years when Islam emerged as a mature religion. We also outline in this epilogue some of the successes of Islamic nations and the challenges of current times on the way to regain peace and help accelerate the pace of social progress in territories where Islam continues to shape peoples' way of life.
