An amazing introductory to the belief and practices of Islam, this book is for anyone wanting to learn about this beautiful religion. This book entails chapters about the five pillars of Islam, the Quran, Sufism, the history of the Prophet Muhammad, the history of Islam, women in Islam as well as Islam in today's society. There are also small stories entwined in the book, such as:

"One day Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sitting in the shade under a tree. A kitten came and curled up on his cloak and went to sleep. When the time came for him to go, Prophet Muhammad cut away part of his cloak with a knife so as not to disturb the sleeping kitten."

A good introduction to the living experience of Islamic belief and practice. essentially, if those professing to be Muslims truly followed Islamic precepts then there would be peace. (esp., if all religions followed their basic precepts.
