Rating: Summary: Excellent book Review: Creating a book that is accessible to a Western audience and at the same time does not dilute traditional/classical Islamic studies, is not an easy feat. The author navigates this balancing act with aplomb. Western readers will find many of their questions about Islam answered here. Recomended.
Rating: Summary: One of the Most Useful Books Related to the Qur'an Review: I just bought the book and flipped through it. I consider it to be a great reference book that I would be consulting in the years to come. Well done Sohaib!Liaquat Ali http://www.qxpi.org
Rating: Summary: Surprisingly Good. Review: I saw this book on my sister's desk and casually picked it not expecting much from a "for dummies" type book. However, I was quite pleased by the surprising quality of this book. I've read many of the intro to Islam and Quran type books, and would have to say this is probably the best, and it clearly beats out and of the other "for Dummies," "for Idiot's," "for beginners," etc, books on Islam.
Sohaib Sultan manages to not only introduce basic concepts about Islam and the Quran, but he takes the reader through many deeper and more complicated issues - all without sacrificing an ounce of clarity or readability. What emerges is an engaging, readable, and surprisingly in depth survey of Islam. The book is also remarkably through and even-handed. Flip through it at the bookstore (or using the "look inside" feature), my guess is you'll be impressed - something that will likely only increase when you read the author's bio and see that he was only 23 when he finished the book.
Rating: Summary: The Best WAY TO UNDERSTAND ISLAM Review: Sohaib's book is the best one out there for Islam. I am an American born Muslim, and I did not know anything about my religion, until I read this book. It's worth every penny.
Go Sohaib,
NS.
