Extremely insightful book. It was THOROUGH! It answered many questions I had and went above and beyond. I can't wait to read the other books from this brand on Catholicism or Judaism (if they have one).

I bought it as an ebook but now I wish I would have bought it as a softcover so I could keep it on a coffee table or something so more people could read it. I've already used it as a reference for one of my college papers.

Just loved it.

Horrible book. It's full of subjectivity, bias, wrong info, it's just terrible. Mentioning some Quran verbs but not the ones that the writer didn't like. For example the part about women.
It's obvious what the idea was behind this book and the idea was not to describe Islam objectively. I just couldn't finish it, it's that bad.

Informative, well researched, with Qur'anic quotes that are correct and placed in the correct context. Reading this book answered a lot of my questions and dispelled a lot of the myths that I have been taught. Highly recommend reading this book if you want an accurate look at what Islam is really about.

Very Useful, apalagi untuk amatir2 agama seperti gua yang lahir dengan agama yang diberikan orang tua tanpa tau dasar2 agama tersebut apa aja,,, learned a lot meski belum semuanya terserap/terlakasana,,, tapi sangat mudah untuk dibaca dan diserap,,,

Although this book might be a little dry for young children, it will definitely directly inform them about the basic beliefs, practices and traditions in the Muslim religion. Students will learn about the history behind this religion, as well as daily life within the Muslim religion.

Bisa dibilang ini sejarah Islam ditinjau dari kacamata orang Barat. Objektif, secukupnya, tanpa perlu membandingkan secara berlebihan dengan agama lain.
