Islam For Beginners

Five times a day, close to a billion people turn to the Ka’aba in submission to Allah/God. In the seventh century C.E., the religion of Islam was revealed to the Prophet Mohammad through the Holy Koran. Since then, Islam has spread to every corner of the world: from Jerusalem to Sydney, and from Dakar to London and Detroit, Islam has shown continuity with creative versatility. This book presents the historic beginnings of Islam, the growth and contribution of its civilization, and the role of Islam in meeting the challenge of the modern world.
