Salaam Arif,

Next to Dr. Shabbir's books, I can also recommend this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Islam-Present-Future-Hans-Kung/dp/1851683771/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213478510&sr=1-1

Islam: Past, Present and Future (Hardcover)

It is a very good book on Islam, the different theories, ideas and tries to understand early Islam more as a system that was later formed into a religion. Hans Kung was the main advisor on Islam for the Roman Catholic church but was kicked out, or rather being degraded, because he acknowledged the Quran being from God and that the Trinity was a man-made doctrine. He says the Quran presents the correct picture of the early Christians.

It has everything from A-Z on Islam.

Kung's words:

"There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions." - KÃ¼ng speaking on global ethic
