Trade Review
Rustom’s new book is a masterful translation, superb critical edition and comprehensive guide to the thought of one of the most prominent Muslim thinkers. * Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations *
The Essence of Reality is a clear and fluent translation that successfully transfers the literary power of the original text into English. * Nazariyat *
[Rustom’s] translation strikes a delicate balance between faithfulness to the Arabic original and readability for a wide audience… A historical classic brought back to life by Rustom’s able skills as translator and commentator. * Marginalia (Los Angeles Review of Books) *
