What Islam is All About (Paperback)

Love this Book. Had a copy of a copy for over 20 years. Got a few new ones to refresh my copy and another to gift out. It truly is a Treasure breaking Islam down in layman's terms. Easy to read and understand, right down to the basics.

great and fast delivery

I just converted to Islam about 3 months ago and this book helped a lot. It teaches you how to pray, our purpose in life etc. overall this book is excellent

Wonderful, easy to read and understand great text and pictures, learning religion for kids

thanks

My daughter used this as the text for a class in Islamic Studies. I read this book also as I have a general interest in learning about world religions. As in most religions, Islam also has Immams, scholars, practitioners and defectors, many of whom disagree with each other on history and interpretation of many of the topics in this book. That aside, this book provides an overview of Islam from the author's and the editors' perspective. It is fair as a published work and I feel educated by it although I have no basis to know if everything I learned in this book is fact or just something beleived by some or many Muslims. My main criticism is not with the book but with professors who would use this as a textbook for one main reason: unless I missed it, there are no citations or references in this book about any of the historical claims. that is not appropriate for an academic setting.

Excellent book for anyone who wants to learn fundamental teachings, history and beliefs of Islam. Easy to read, solid and trustworthy information.

Excellent go to book. I loved the design, pictures, and diagrams. Very simple and easy to understand issues related to Islam

I have found this an excellent, easy to read book (with pictures!). It is so difficult to find easy to read books on Islam for education my children. All the books I have found to date are far too literal and to ‘religious’. By that I mean, they are difficult to read and absorb. This book, has the religious aspect which is essential but the wording is different. It is more like a story than an academic book. Not sure if this makes sense. But definitely worth buying – AND it has pictures and illustrations which help to break up the text. Very worth it and a good read. I would recommend it to any Muslim parent (or non-muslim wishing to learn) for their children and for themselves.

Good
