The Islam Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained by D.K. Publishing
5.0
"You can't talk about Muslims or Islam if you don't know it" - Ghostface Killah (American rapper)
The Islam Book is an authentic and comprehensive overview of Islam, its history, its contributions to science, literature, art, and architecture over the centuries. There are 6 main topics provided in this book, which is Muhammad, The Quran, An Islamic Identity, The Golden Age Of Islam, Reform and Revival, and Islam Today. This book describes the foundational ideas not just of Islam, the religion, but also many of the great Islamic civilisations, cultures, and political and social movements that the religion inspired, and continues to inspire.
I love the overall layouts of the contents. They included quotes from known Muslims figures from all over the world including my own country, Malaysia, quotes from the Quran, facts and history behind each topic, and also there's pictures, mind maps and illustrations related to it (slide left.
As the editor and 11 contributors put it, this book is for you whether you are a Muslim, a student, or simply curious.
Personally, I would very much suggest anyone to get this unbiased and ideal introduction to Islam book to get to know the religion more and its believers to better understand the teachings and embrace each other's differences so that we all could live with more respect and harmony. There's just too much hate and misunderstandings for years, and it has to stop.
