Suggested Reading on Islam

As we continue with our Interfaith Dialogue, here are a few books on Islam recommended by Bob Hughes.
If anyone reads one of these books and wants to offer a review, we would be glad to consider it publishing in the Flashlight.

Concept of God in Major Religions
There has always been a question in the minds of people about the
existence of God. All major religions have believed in one god or
another. Thus, believing in a supreme being that is omnipotent and
omniscience is essential to the existence of mankind. This full-colored
book tackles the issue of existence of God from a different perspective
including starting off with how different people view God. It first
categorizes the belief of the major religions into 5 types of religions.
Then, it describes the concept of God for world's several major religions.

Islam The Religion of Peace

These days many books are being published about Islam, some in defense
of it and many more in its offence. This book briefly but precisely
points out how all the religions are the same and how they are different
from each other. The teachings in basic remain in the doctrines but in
the name of liberalism, these are changed in practice. For example,
sexual relationships outside of marriage are forbidden in every
religion, but what is happening everyone knows.

Qur'an & Modern Science - Compatible or Incompatible?

Al-Qur'an, the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by
Muslims, to be of completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it
contains Divine guidance for all humankind. Since the message of the
Qur'an is believed to be for all times, it should be relevant to every
age. Does the Qur'an pass this test? In this booklet, I intend to give
an objective analysis of the Muslim belief regarding the Divine origin
of the Qur'an, in the light of established scientific discoveries.
