The primary purpose of this book, says the author, is to enable non-Muslims to understand Islam more easily, and to help foster friendly relations between Muslims and non-Muslims. There are many outstanding introductions tb Islam. This book, while academically sound, is written for the general public. It aims to make the Islamic reality more accessible to them, by presenting Islam imaginatively from a Muslim perspective. It personalizes the explanation through descriptions of a typical Muslim family, and their relation to the themes discussed. In the process, we are given not only an introduction to the history, beliefs and practices of the religion, but a warmly human contact with the faith and feelings of those who practise it.
