You must have heard about Islam and its adherents, Muslims, in the news. This book offers an insightful introduction to Islam and takes the reader through well-known authentic sources and takes a closer look at the Islamic faith, the Noble Qur'an, and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah and his sayings. It explores the five pillars of Islam in depth and narrates the biography of the Prophet briefly but distinctly. The book presents a brief yet comprehensive survey of the basic teachings of Islam with particular stress on the significance of Islam's central belief in the oneness of Allah, or tawhid. The book offers an in-depth discussion on the Glorious Qur'an as the revealed book.
Undoubtedly, there is an overwhelming demand for information about Islam, and this timely book attempts to offer a comprehensive, authentic understanding of this fastest-growing religion—the straight path. The book provides succinct, accessible, authentic, sensitive, and crystal-clear information on topics that range from general to more specific issues: What is the status of women in Islam? Are women seen as second-class citizens in Islam? Who is superior—man or woman? What is jihad? What does Islam say about abortion, mercy killings (euthanasia), interreligious marriages, suicide, a man's treatment towards his wife, polygyny, divorce, dress, veil, the rights of parents, privacy in homes, clothing and ornaments, the wisdom of banning gold and silk for men, perfumes, unisex fashions, the alleged cruelty towards animals, and lawful and unlawful foods. Islam: A Beginner's Guide to Islam is a splendid introduction—carefully researched and comprehensive, yet highly readable. It corrects many popular and erroneous notions about Islam that prevail in non-Muslim communities.
For the newly converted Muslim, there are many profound insights of great significance on the passages on women and their treatment and on jihad, which are nearly always completely misunderstood, if not misrepresented by the mass media. This study represents a traditional view of Islam as experienced by Muslims. We believe this work will prove an invaluable source for both new Muslims as well as the general public. Indeed this book will take you on a journey through various aspects of Islam, helping you to be reborn!

Dr. Jerald F. Dirks
In A Concise Introduction to Islam, Dr. Jerald Dirks presents a brief, simple, and straightforward introduction to one of the world’s most misunderstood religions. The book consists of six easily understood chapters. The first chapter focuses on the commonalities that exist between Islam and the Judeo-Christian tradition, including similarities in prophetic history and in ethical and spiritual teachings.
The second chapter clears up prevalent misconceptions that exist about Islam, while the third chapter presents the fundamental pillars of Islamic belief and practice. In the fourth chapter, Dr. Dirks examines four of the major differences between Islam and Christianity, including the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, the crucifixion event, the nature of Jesus, and the nature of God. Finally, the last two chapters deal with “hot potato” topics.
For example, the fifth chapter looks at the Islamic concept of jihad and how that concept has been misunderstood and distorted by some so-called Muslims. The sixth chapter examines and clarifies the role of women in Islam and presents the evidence supporting the proposition that Islam is actually a champion of women’s rights.

Esta obra informa al lector acerca de los principios fundamentales del islam y explica los preceptos del monoteísmo y el contrato de la humanidad con su Creador. El autor describe las condiciones previas y las condiciones requeridas para la oración musulmana (Salâh).
La forma más común y más elevada de adorar a Alá, como sabemos, es orar. Pero ¿cómo reaccionaríamos si nos percatamos de que después de años y años de oración, hemos orado incorrectamente? Algunos de nosotros nos enojaríamos —a decir verdad, estaríamos muy enojados— mientras que otros se sentirán defraudados y deseando haber conocido la forma correcta de rezar mucho antes.
Este libro cubre todos los requisitos de la oración; lo que hay que hacer antes, después y durante ella. Así que una vez que este libro esté en sus manos, hojee sus páginas y obtenga el conocimiento de su religión desde la comodidad de su hogar.
