Of the many books explaining Islam, few specifically address the
concerns and questions of those from a Christian background.
Moreover, the commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths--Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam--are too often ignored. Set out in an easy
and informative question-and-answer format, the book addresses the
specific theological points of agreement and difference between
Christianity and Islam, explains the core religious beliefs and
practices of Islam, and answers today's most common questions of
Islam and Muslims in an age when there is much conflict and
misunderstanding. Islam is best judged not by the limitations and
transgressions of its most extreme, ignorant, and outlandish
followers, but by the example of its moderate majority, and
Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood presents this introduction to the theology
and practice of Islam in an attempt to explore some of the false
impressions that surround it.
Table of Contents:
Section 1: The Religious Beliefs of Islam Explained
Section 2: the Religious Duties of Islam Explained
Section 3: Miscellaneous Questions
Section 4: Christianity and Islam
Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood gained an honors degree in Christian
Theology from the University of Hull in 1963 and then taught
religious studies at various state schools until her retirement in
1996. She converted to Islam in 1986 and now lectures and writes on
Islam.
