What is Islam and Why‪?‬

‘What is Islam?’ is a question that has been asked by countless people of late. Unfortunately, few adequate answers have been given that are short enough to fulfill the modern need for brevity, but long enough to satisfy the demands of the question. Here is a book to change that. Written in lucid English by a scholar of the East and West, What is Islam and Why? answers that question in a few dozen pages with ample quotes drawn from the sources of the religion itself—the Qur’an and Sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) . In an hour or two, a reader can finally know an accurate answer to this pressing question, an answer without which ignorant fear of the other will continue to be a ghost that haunts our frightened planet.
