Towards Understanding Islam (Wamy Studies on Islam)

The book exposes the firm belief in the existence of the one true God, a necessary source to keep men from using their own resources or talents against each other. This was revealed through the prophethood of Muhammad (SAW); an illiterate man with a heart of gold, the patience of a saint and a soul as pure as that of a child. "He was the one whose example and teachings inspired the thoughts of the oneness of mankind, the equality of the human race, the concepts of true democracy and real freedom in the world." (Page 63) Try that for those who qualify Islam as a religion solely based on Fundamentalism. The two final chapters on Islamic Law, Jurisprudence and Mysticism - although concise, provide a wealth of information about how the moral system of Islam works and what its bases are. They refer not just to individual but moral conduct of men, women, family and community.
