Summary

The world is at a crossroads today. A tiny minority of Muslims seems to be bent on hijacking the religion of Islam and bringing it into perpetual conflict with the rest of the world. Because of their actions, very few non-Muslims understand the real difference between Islam as it has always been and the distorted perversions of Islam today. This book is an attempt to positively say what Islam actually is—and always was—as well as what it is not.

Critic reviews

“Lucid in its explanations, unassailable in its logic; a book of the moment; simply spot on.” (H. E. Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto, Nigeria)

“Easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to swallow and digest. It very beautifully explains what Islam really is, how it is explained in its sacred texts, and how it has been understood throughout centuries by the overwhelming majority of Muslims.” (Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani)

“Much anxiety comes from not properly understanding what others think or believe. One example today is the widespread misunderstanding of Islam. So when a respected scholar of Islamic philosophy such as Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad writes A Thinking Person’s Guide to Islam, it is of global significance. I welcome the publication of this book, convinced that interested readers will find much in it to inspire them and set their minds at rest.” (H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso)

Poor oration

The narrator struggles to read the text without any knowledge. Perhaps the translation was poor, but it is difficult to listen to.
