A first of its kind written by a Muslim scholar, very few books are as honest in speaking about Islam as this. The author is an academic on the subject, with classical training in the religion. The book delves into areas most dare not venture into. It covers the history of the Quran to the person of Muhammad, to its major teachings, and where it got them from. The book is fully referenced with suggestions for further reading. It is intended for all, from the laity to the expert, to the Muslim and non-Muslim alike, as everyone will find something useful and beneficial. It honestly answers questions that are often posed such as 'Does Islam promote peace, and if so why is so much violence attached to this religion?' All your questions about Islam will be answered, the author uses only the most authentic sources to cite his evidence. Although primarily focusing on Islam, the book covers the origins and teachings on Judaism and Christianity, this is done because of its claims of descent from these two religions. It contains many pages of ground-breaking research. If its truth you want, then this book is for you!
