Know Your Islam

by Yousuf Lalljee

Islam is the creed of Peace -- Peace through surrender to the Creator or Allah. According to Islam, Allah sent many of His messengers or prophets to mankind in order to "bring it out of the darkness or error and ignorance" into "the light of rectitude and knowledge." The first of these prophets was Adam and the last of them all was Muhammad Mustafa. Between them were many other prophets: Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus. This book contains information on the fundamentals of Islam, the Holy Quran, the Quranic Commandments, prayers and verses from the Quran, the Islamic calendar and important dates, and a glossary of important terms.

This book is extremely helpful. It has a wealth of information. It's very clearly organized, and gives enough background information to understand even the heavier topics. Included is potentially the best prayer explanation I have ever come across! Definitely a staple for all libraries.

As the Buddhists say it’s important to have the ‘beginner mind’. A mind open to new knowledge. As opposed to the ‘Expert mind’ a mind which has no room for learning new things. So I read this book aha.

Anywho certain aspects weren’t bad but I guess. But try it for yourself and see

Well written book but for a very beginner demographic, I would’ve liked it to go more in depth behind Islamic principles.
