It is a faith of prayer, fasting, charity, God-consciousness, family life, scripture, law, civilization, empire, reform, and controversy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Islam for the non-Muslim\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e explains Islam first on its own terms: Allah, tawhid, the Qur'an, Muhammad's life, hadith, the Five Pillars, mosque life, Ramadan, halal, family, Sunni and Shia Islam, Sufism, Salafism, and sharia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen it addresses the questions many non-Muslims actually carry: Why is the Qur'an not arranged chronologically? Why does Muhammad's life trouble many outsiders? What is jihad? Did Islam spread by the sword? Were non-Muslims protected or subordinated under Muslim rule? What are blasphemy and apostasy laws? Is Islam compatible with modern pluralism? Is Islamic terrorism unrelated to Islam, or does that claim avoid the evidence?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a conversion book. It is not anti-Muslim polemic. It is a practical guide for readers who want to understand Islam without being asked to ignore either its spiritual power or its most difficult historical and moral questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amit Goyal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798185026175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Amit Goyal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174097330431,"sku":"9798185026175","price":6.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-islam-amit-goyal-9798185026175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
