An up-close and up-to-date look at an often misunderstood Islamic faith. This completely revised and updated guide explores the tenets of the Qu'ran (A.K.A 'Koran'), examines the history of the religion and its relationship to Christianity and Judaism, and features an expanded section on the true story behind 'jihad'.
It explores Islamic views on war and terrorism, including the Muslim perspective on the tragic events of September 11, and the subsequent U.S. presence in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Excellent sales for the 1st Editrion. Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, with more than six million devoted followers. Features an expanded section on women in Islam, including their status within the Taliban, and the Islamic practice of polygamy.
The book seeks to be a basic overview of a variety of subjects in Islam
such as the nature of God, the life of Prophet Muhammad, the Qur'an, the
Five Pillars, and its political and cultural history. The book takes on
its subject in a more informal light and basic English without a lot of
detail and does manage to cover many subjects in this single volume. It
was particularly enlightening to learn that Islam actually shares many
virtues and ideas that are common in Judaism and Christianity such as
honesty and charity.
A decent book because the editors actually had the book written by a Muslim. This is a good book to use as an introduction to Islam.
The author, Yahiya Emerick, is an American convert to Islam who has been involved in interfaith issues and education since 1990.
