Interesting Read!

Very enlightening read. I always love learning about different ways of thinking and belief systems. Really did a good job of breaking everything down and giving me a fuller understanding of Islam. Glad I gave this one a listen. Nicely done!

Informative!

If you could sum up Islam for Beginners in three words, what would they be?

Very informative guide..

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a

Which scene was your favorite?

All!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Islamic Rituals and its practices.

Any additional comments?

Muslim individuals and families live around the world in many different countries and practice their faith in similar ways. Cultural variations such as type of dress and rituals for weddings may vary, but fundamentally Muslims are governed by the same principles found in the Qur'an. Of note is the fact that in the year 2000, the number of Muslims surpassed the number of Christians in the world. This may mean that Islam will be more visible in years to come in Western cultures. Insights and information about religions and practices can be a helpful way to facilitate more visibility and understanding.

Definitely a book to purchase

What made the experience of listening to Islam for Beginners the most enjoyable?

I think it does an excellent job in presenting the basics of Islam. It must of course be written from a respectfully Muslim perspective, which is why (understandably) Muhammad is treated with such veneration. Definitely a book to purchase if you want a short introduction that beats the Wikipedia's.
