Islam - An Introduction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9788119024841)

Islam means to submit one's will to God, to surrender one's ego and in all humility accept God's word, The Quran, as a guide with which to lead one's life. The beautiful miracle that transpires, thereafter, is that one begins to feel freer and more empowered by sacrificing the self in service to God's wisdom.

Every aspect of the religion of over one-and-a-half billion individuals is divinely designed to absolute perfection. It imbues balance within one's life and fosters harmony both within oneself and in one's associations with others.

To an outsider, however, Islam is still a mystery and for others it is too complicated to get one's head around let alone to practice it judiciously. Which is where this wondrous book comes in. Written by the great scholar of Islam, Sayyed Abu Hasan Ali Nadwi, it presents the beautiful religion in the most simple way making it thoroughly accessible to the layperson.

Readers of this superb book will soon discover the gift of Ali Nadwi, which was to present Islam in a thorough but simple manner. His careful selection of words and terms invites the seekers of knowledge and wisdom to know more while answering their most burning questions.

Among the secrets of Islam, the most important one is approaching The Quran as it only truly benefits those who approach it in the spirit of submission and love. And when learned and practised correctly, Islam changes one's life both inwardly and outwardly so then one lives to enter paradise among the righteous.
