This
introductory book on Islam serves as a good Da'wah tool, explaining
some of the fundamentals of Islam, as well signifying verses of the
Qur'an and how they relate to science and the world around us.
It consists of three chapters.
The
first chapter, Some Evidence for the Truth of Islam,
answers some important questions which some people ask:
Is the Quran truly the literal word of
God, revealed by Him?
Is Muhammad
truly a prophet sent by God?
Is Islam truly a religion from God?
In
this chapter, six kinds of evidence are mentioned:
1)
The Scientific Miracles in the Holy Quran: This section
discusses (with illustrations) some recently discovered scientific
facts mentioned in the Holy Quran, which was revealed fourteen
centuries ago.
2) The Great Challenge to Produce
One Chapter Like the Chapters of the Holy Quran: In the Quran,
God challenged all human beings to produce a single chapter like the
chapters of the Quran. Ever since the Quran was revealed, fourteen
centuries ago, until this day, no one has been able to meet this
challenge, even though the smallest chapter in the Quran (Chapter
108) is only ten words.
3) Biblical Prophecies on the
Advent of Muhammad ,
the Prophet of Islam: In this section, some of the Biblical
prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad
are discussed.
4) The Verses in the Quran That
Mention Future Events Which Later Came to Pass: The Quran
mentioned future events which later came to pass, for example, the
victory of the Romans over the Persians.
5) Miracles Performed by the
Prophet Muhammad :
Many miracles were performed by the Prophet Muhammad .
These miracles were witnessed by many people.
6) The Simple Life of Muhammad :
This clearly indicates that Muhammad
was not a false prophet who claimed prophethood to attain material
gains, greatness, or power.
The
second chapter, Some Benefits of Islam, mentions
some of the benefits that Islam provides for the individual, such
as:
The Door to Eternal Paradise
Salvation from Hellfire
Real Happiness and Inner Peace
Forgiveness for All Previous Sins.
The
third chapter, General Information on Islam,
provides general information on Islam, corrects some misconceptions
about it, and answers some commonly asked questions, such as:
What does Islam say about terrorism?
What is the status of women in Islam?
