I first picked up this book under the age of ten. Since then, I must have read it two or three more times, purchased several copies to give to friends and family, and recommended it as a primary textbook for Islamic curriculums. The author Ghulam Sarwar successfully offers a comprehensive view of the essentials - a great read for those interested in this religion. There's nothing in there to disagree with - highly debated issues are simply omitted. He leaves that for other books. 5 stars.
Great fundamental book. Great for kids, and a great refresher for adults. And the English is good as well, as it wasn't translated, but rather written solely in English, as far as i know.
