Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, for the Prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams, rather they left behind knowledge, so whoever gains knowledge has gained great good fortune. Hadith by al-Tirmidhi, classed as Sahih by al-Albaani Islam has become synonymous with global political jihad today, and Islamic spirituality is often mistaken for orthodoxy. Then how do young Muslims hold on to their faith? How do they open the door for others to appreciate the true beauty of their religion?In his attempt to understand Islam in its true form, social activist and entrepreneur Raamish Siddiqui brings together the most thought-provoking works of eminent scholar Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. Through the Maulana's writing, Raamish discovers that it was Prophet Muhammad who first lay the foundations of universal secular education, that Islam believes in gender equality and allegiance to the nation one is born in, and that the Quran makes it obligatory for its adherents to not engage in violence except in self-defence. In a deeply introspective introduction, Raamish talks about his own dilemmas after 9/11 and how he transformed as a person when he learnt to differentiate between the true spirit of Islam and its misappropriation by those who have politicized it. Deeply insightful and, in some ways, provocative, this is a vitally important guide to the most misunderstood religion of modern times.
Islam: A Brief Look at Faith and History (Revised Edition) by Hafiz Ikhlas Ansari Pdf
Paperback. Islam has influenced and continues to influence many cultures around the globe. It is shaping history, cultures and civilizations. Sadly, most of us only receive a two-dimensional look at Islam?a view that is often distorted by the brevity of the media sound-bites or by opinionated agendas. Our intention with this book is to present Islam, its teachings and the history of those who follow it. It is not a comprehensive study?nor should it be seen as definitive. Rather, it should be used as a stimulus for further detailed study. We hope and pray that this effort becomes a source of promoting (much needed) harmony, peace, tolerance, and coexistence in the human family. This can be done through school education systems, interfaith sessions, mosque open houses, educational seminars and individual readership. This new Revised Edition has larger text, clearer graphics and many new additions to the previous text.
Is it possible for Christians and Muslims to engage in meaningful dialogue, in genuine and truthful debate? Do we dare to put our faith on trial? To listen to each other in the best possible way, and to give the reason for the hope that we have, with gentleness and respect, as we are commanded? The two faiths hold much in common, tracing their roots back to a common ancestor. And yet they have always held to something of a ghetto mentality. Mutual ignorance is the price paid for trouble-free co-existence, and for some, perhaps, the price for survival. Prejudice and misunderstanding leads to confrontational debate, where one side tries to ridicule, attack and defeat the other. Political correctness and tolerance simply leads to superficial agreement. Chawkat Moucarry believes that there is a better way. Ever since he surprised the religious Education teacher by asking if he could attend the Islamic class at high school, he has been wholeheartedly committed to genuine Christian Muslim dialogue. His prayer is that this book will help us to gain a better understanding of each other's faith, as well as our own, and above all a better understanding of the founder of that faith.

The Islamic Faith A Simplified Presentation Hardcover Edition by Osoul Center Pdf
All praise be to Allah who has made our faith complete and perfected the grace He always bestows on us. Peace and blessings be to Prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah whom Allah sent as bearer of glad tidings and a warner, giving him the role of one who calls people to Allah by His leave and a light-giving beacon. Guidance is the greatest blessing Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, bestows on anyone, and the most important guidance He grants is the one that shows the right faith, which is the only one Allah accepts from His servants. That is Islam, which means submission to Him. Allah Almighty has commanded His servants to request Him for guidance in every unit of their prayers, saying: 'Guide us along the right path'. In his infinite wisdom, Allah let Muslims differ for a variety of reasons, some differences are the result of ignorance while others are due to following one's own desire. The Prophet (peace be upon him) foretold of such differences among Muslims. He said: 'The Jews split into seventy-one different groups: one of these will be in heaven and seventy in hell. The Christians split into seventy-two groups: seventy-one of which will be in hell and one in heaven. By Him who holds Muhammad's soul in His hand, my nation will split into seventy-three groups; only one of which will be in heaven and seventy-two in hell'. He was asked: 'Messenger of Allah, who are these?' He said: 'The group.' (Abu Dawud, 4597). The fact that such differences in faith may exist makes it a biding duty of every Muslim who is keen to follow the truth to look for the path followed by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions. It is a path of knowledge and action. Every Muslim should follow their example. The work we present you today is a brief book in which the author has tried to present what the Prophet and his companions followed in the most important area of religion, which is 'beliefs'.
