About this book

Islam may be the most misunderstood faith in history. Most of us learn little or nothing about Islam in school; in fact our knowledge of Muslims may be restricted to news reports on the Middle East and Louis Farrakhan. Surprise--the vast majority of Muslims arent Arabs the Muslim Allah is very much the "one God" Christians and Jews believe in many of the scientific and medical innovations we take for granted were passed on by Muslims and the popular myths about Muslims often have little to do with the real beliefs of Islam. The Complete Idiots Guide(R) to Understanding Islam reveals fascinating facts about Islam; they accept both the Old and New Testaments as holy books and accept Moses and Jesus as prophets. The book offers tips on Muslim culture actual quotes from the Quran the Prophet Muhammad and prominent scholars and answers to questions regarding everyday life from the Muslim perspective.
