About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Ghazi ibn Muhammad: Born in Amman on October 15, 1966, Ghazi ibn Muhammad ibn Talal is a Jordanian scholar of the ruling Hashemite house, a nephew of the late King Hussein and first cousin to King Abdullah II, whom he serves as chief advisor for religious and cultural affairs and personal envoy. He read comparative literature at Princeton, graduating with highest honors in 1988, completed a doctorate at Cambridge in 1993, and later earned a second doctorate in Islamic philosophy at al-Azhar in Cairo. He is most widely known as the author of "A Common Word Between Us and You" (2007), the open letter from Muslim scholars to Christian leaders worldwide that grounded dialogue in the shared command to love God and one's neighbor, and as the author of the United Nations General Assembly resolution that established World Interfaith Harmony Week in 2010. He founded the World Islamic Sciences and Education University and launched the Great Tafsir Project, a large online collection of Qurʾanic commentary. His own books include "Love in the Holy Qurʾan," drawn from his al-Azhar doctorate and tracing the Qurʾan's vocabulary of love through its many stages, "A Thinking Person's Guide to Islam," and "War and Peace in Islam: The Uses and Abuses of Jihad." His work joins traditional learning to interreligious peacemaking, and he remains an active voice for the classical Sunni mainstream.
About the translator
Seyyed Hossein Nasr: Born in Tehran in 1933, Seyyed Hossein Nasr is a scholar of Islamic philosophy, science, and Sufism, and a prominent representative of the perennialist or traditionalist school of thought. He studied physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and went on to Harvard, taking a master's in geology and geophysics and a doctorate in the history of science in 1958. Returning to Iran, he became a full professor at Tehran University while still in his early thirties, later serving as dean, vice-chancellor, and founding president of the Imperial Iranian Academy of Philosophy. After the events of 1979 he emigrated to the United States, teaching at Temple University and, from 1984, as University Professor of Islamic Studies at George Washington University. His many works include An Introduction to Islamic Cosmological Doctrines, Science and Civilization in Islam, Three Muslim Sages, and Knowledge and the Sacred, the last drawn from the Gifford Lectures he delivered at Edinburgh in 1980 to 1981. Shaped intellectually by the writings of René Guénon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, and Frithjof Schuon, he has written on metaphysics, cosmology, the environment, and the relation between religion and the order of nature. He served as editor-in-chief of The Study Quran (HarperOne, 2015), a single-volume translation with continuous commentary drawing on the classical Sunni and Shiʿi traditions.
