Moreover, they will be able to learn the main worships like prayers and fasting and how to follow the sunnah of the prophet Muhammed (PBUH).

If we find our hearts severed from ourselves, or realise the lack of purity in our hearts, it will steer towards immersion in the material world and heedlessness of the Hereafter.

If you thought it was difficult to learn about one of the world's major religions, The Islam Book presents key information in an easy to follow layout.

According to Islamic teaching, Muhammad founded Islam in 610 CE after the angel Gabriel appeared to him at Mecca and told him that God had entered him among the ranks of such great biblical prophets as Abraham, Moses, and Christ. Another principle is given concerning when one should speak, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him say something good or else remain silent.Clark’s book is helpful in this way, especially Parts 2 and 3 on the life of Muhammed, the Qur’an, Islamic traditions and law, the Five Pillars of Worship, other Islamic rituals and customs, and Muslim ethics. As suggested by the title, this book provides a piece of brief and basic information relating to Islam.
