Journey within Islam

In this book the author tries to portray Islam as a religion of all the Prophets and a personal religion true to the nature of the mankind. The author also defines Islamic Society dispelling the notion that it was a closed society. His principal source is the Qur-an which to him is the textbook of Islam.
