{"product_id":"9781862077553","title":"Desperately Seeking Paradise","description":"Ziauddin Sardar, one of the foremost Muslim intellectuals in Britain, learned the Koran at his mother's knee in Pakistan. As a young student in London he set out to grasp the meaning of his religion, and, hopefully, to find 'paradise', his  quest leading him throughout the Muslim world, from Iran to  China to Turkey. Along the way he accepts that he may never  reach paradise - but it's the journey that's important. At a time when the view of Islam in the West is so often distorted and simplistic, Desperately Seeking Paradise - self-mocking, frank and passionate - is essential reading.","brand":"Ziauddin Sardar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47745760592190,"sku":"9781862077553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781862077553_01ef6e9d-aee5-411c-a7a6-fc8cb434ecdd.jpg?v=1707640858","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781862077553","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
