Description
Understanding Islam has become increasingly important in today's world. As Muslims face scrutiny over issues like violence, terrorism, women's rights and slavery, they are often expected to provide answers about the nature of their faith.
This book provides an introduction to Islam, explaining its principles, rituals, diversity and evolution in simple language. Tariq Ramadan focuses on the realities of Islam today, avoiding ideology and idealism to bring to life the essence of the true meaning of the religion and its implications.
From definitions and basic principles to history, theology, mysticism and modern debates, this book offers a comprehensive overview of Islam's complexities. It is an accessible guide that makes it easy to understand the multi-faceted reality of the faith.
