Infos

Understanding Islam from the West is a study of the Islam religion and explanation of the basic tenets of the religion. In simple, straight-forward text, the author explains what Islam is and what it is not, especially pointing out what aspects of the religion and lifestyle that the West has misunderstood. The text is broken into various sections, such as The five Pillars, Islam and the western Media and Angels in Islam and discussed in concise segments. Explanations and arguments are put forth explaining the Muslim faith and lifestyle and how it compares to or contrasts with other religions. In one example, the Quran is highlighted as being unaltered text that has been memorised throughout the centuries as compared to the Bible which has various, sometimes unknown authors, and errors within the text. In another, US media and fake news are noted as reasons people have come to fear Muslims. The author circles back to describe how true Muslims live in peace and how many of the Western countries are facing serious problems. With a passionate, thought-provoking study of Islam, Understanding Islam from the West strives to 'persuade [readers] to take a good look at Islam'. The opening section "e;How I became a Muslim revert"e; is especially interesting, sharing the author's personal journey from Christian to Muslim.Understanding Islam from the West is a study of the Islam religion and explanation of the basic tenets of the religion.
