About this listen

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.

From the Qur'an to Ramadan, Islam for Dummies introduces you to the origins, practices, and beliefs of Islam, including: Muhammad, the man and the legend; the Five Pillars of Wisdom; the Five Essentials beliefs of Islam; the different branches of Islam and Islamic sects; the Qur'an and Islamic law; and Islam throughout history and its impact around the world.

Professor Malcolm Clark explores the roots of Islam, how it has developed over the centuries, and its long and complex relationship with Christianity. He helps puts Islam in perspective as a major cultural and geopolitical force.

I recently decided to convert to Islam after about 14 years of soul searching and repeatedly being brought back to Islam one way or another. This book really helped me to refresh on a lot of the background of Muhammad, current issues with Palestine and Israel, and just an overall perspective on Islam which helped me to break down the bias I had in my head whenever I hear the term Muslim (not intentional ofc). I loved this book, I went through it in 5 days! I will definitely be recommending this one to others. The speaker was a little slow in my opinion, but I do have a tendency to listen to all audiobooks on a speed of 1.5 to 2.7 🫣🤣

I've read and listened to a ton of biography of muhammad, qurans, and Islamic history texts and this covered so much so well.

Really impressed

A good introduction, and while at times the narration may get confusing given the variety of Tips, and Remember icons that appear in the text, this book is still one of the easiest to understand introductions to the Islamic faith.

A good introduction.

Many of the facts are incorrect. The fact that it isn’t written by a Muslim shows. And the narrator is unbearably monotone. It’s like listening to a robot. I’d rather chew tin foil than listen to this again.

Impossible to listen to

Coming from a recent revert, I wanted to build a good foundation but there so much misinformation listed here.

Misinformation

This book is absolute garbage. Filled with stereotypes and blatant inaccuracies. 1. Shaytan was never an angel in Islam. 2. inaccurate description of Islamic heaven 3. Islam does not have saints. I could go on...

Islam According to Islamophobes
