Het doet je nadenken, kennis maken zodat je je medemens met respect en zonder angst kan benaderen. ( ) Over the years, I've wondered about the fervor with which so many Muslims adhere to their religion. Living in metro Detroit and having worked in both academic and public libraries, I've been acquainted with many Muslims and appreciate the fact that they're ordinary people. I know many devout Christians, but media reports strongly suggest that the average Muslim is far more devoted to his/her religion than the average Christian is. Why is that? When I mentioned this in passing to a (non-Muslim) young woman, she recommended this book. She hadn't finished it, but she had gained some insight into it to two close cousins (sisters) who had married and converted to Sufi Islam. This book is filled with information. Being in no position to evaluate the validity of that information, I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt in assuming he's presenting a balanced and accurate overview of the origin, history, fundamental beliefs, rites, and flavors of Islam. Thank you, Malcolm Clark. You've given me a greater appreciation of one of the world's great religions. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Many non-Muslims have no idea that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and Jews, and that Islam preaches compassion, charity, humility, and the brotherhood of man. And the similarities don't end there. According to Islamic teaching, Muhammad founded Islam in 610 CE after the angel Gabriel appeared to him at Mecca and told him that God had entered him among the ranks of such great biblical prophets as Abraham, Moses, and Christ. Whether you live or work alongside Muslims and want to relate to them better, or you simply want to gain a better understanding of the world's second largest religion, Islam For Dummies can help you make sense of this religion and its appeal.
