From the Qur'an to Ramadan, this friendly guide introduces you to
the origins, practices and beliefs of Islam Many non-Muslims have
no idea that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and Jews,
and that Islam preaches compassion, charity, humility, and the
brotherhood of man. And the similarities don't end there. According
to Islamic teaching, Muhammad founded Islam in 610 CE after the
angel Gabriel appeared to him at Mecca and told him that God had
entered him among the ranks of such great biblical prophets as
Abraham, Moses, and Christ. Whether you live or work alongside
Muslims and want to relate to them better, or you simply want to
gain a better understanding of the world's second largest religion,
Islam For Dummies can help you make sense of this religion and its
appeal, including: Muhammad, the man and the legend The Five
Pillars of Wisdom The Five Essentials beliefs of Islam The
different branches of Islam and Islamic sects The Qur'an and
Islamic law Islam throughout history and its impact around the
world Professor Malcolm Clark explores the roots of Islam, how it
has developed over the centuries, and it's long and complex
relationship with Christianity. He helps puts Islam in perspective
as a major cultural and geopolitical force. And he provided helpful
insights into, among other things: Muhammad, the Qur'an and the
ethical teachings of Islam Muslim worship, customs, and rituals
surrounding birth, marriage, and death Shi'ites, Sunnis, Sufis,
Druze, and other important Muslim groups Islam in relation to
Judaism and Christianity In these troubled times, it is important
that we try to understand the belief systems of others, for through
understanding comes peace. Islam For Dummies helps you build
bridges of understanding between you and your neighbors in the
global village. P.S. If you think this book seems familiar, you're
probably right. The Dummies team updated the cover and design to
give the book a fresh feel, but the content is the same as the
previous release of Islam For Dummies (9780764555039). The book you
see here shouldn't be considered a new or updated product. But if

other books. We're always writing about new topics! .
