Discover Islam



DOWNLOAD

There is hardly any place on earth today where Islam is totally unknown. More and more people have become curious enough to find out something about this much publicized religion; more often than not, they have been pleasantly surprised.

Islam is the religion and way of life of about one fifth of the world's population. Islam is generally misunderstood and misrepresented in contemporary Western societies; therefore, it is hoped that this booklet will help shed light on Islam and dispel many of the prevailing misconceptions.

With this objective in mind, al-Jumuah Magazine presents a brief overview of Islam, followed by answers to some of the most commonly asked questions by non-Muslims.

The Promised Prophet of the Bible

DOWNLOAD

Extract from book: "There is no doubt that the Prophet-hood of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is one of two important tasks that the Muslim is carrying to humanity. Muslims believe that to prove the Prophet-hood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is one of many essential tasks in their religion; therefore, it is a compulsory duty for Muslims to present this evidence and proof."

A Guide for the new Muslim

DOWNLOAD

This is a gift for all the new Muslims who currently know the right path to Allah. This is a means to strength and preserve their belief. In this book Sheikh Jamaal al-Din Zarabozo shows the fruits of becoming a Muslim, the excellent features of Islam and all aspects of Islam. Sheikh Jamaal illustrates the pillars of faith on which one’s belief is based and the pillars of Islam which contain the best practical deeds (e.g. prayer) and the best deeds of the heart i.e. the monotheism. As Islam is a social religion, Sheikh explains the Muslim’s behavior towards all individuals in the society, old or young, whether they embrace Islam or not. Afterwards he puts up some notice about both of the permissible and prohibited financial dealings. He also mentions the factors which increase the one’s belief and help the Muslim to abide by Allah’s commands. He refers to the obstacles (e.g. lust, misconception and ignorance) in the path of the Muslims prevent him from continuing his way to Allah. He also shows the prerequisites of the sincere repentance which is between the person and his God without a mediator. Finally, he gives a word for the new Muslim.

A Program of Studies for new Muslims

DOWNLOAD

Introduction to Program, 'In 1974, the Planning Committee of the Muslim Students' association of the U. S. and Canada sparked the idea of designing a comprehensive curriculum for American Muslims who have recently embraced Islam. Such curriculum is greatly needed by a large population of Muslims in North America to help them understand Islam as a complete way of life, practice it and live up to its ideals. To satisfy this need, the task of producing the curriculum and its supportive material was entrusted to the Department of Education, Publication and Information. Through the efforts of that Department and the Islamic Teaching Center, Dr. Mohammad Moinuddin Siddiqui undertook to work out" A Program of Studies for New Muslims." His deep commitment to Islam and conviction of the significance of education as a crucial vehicle for social change prompted him to devote his time and finish the first stage of this tremendous and challenging work. The second stage is the writing of text books which are specifically tailored to the sequential level series of this program of studies.

Islam is....

DOWNLOAD

The books forward:

The purpose of this work is to present the authentic teachings of Islam. There is only one Islam, and only one example of how it is to be lived - that of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Our intention is to provide a basic overview of the main tenets as given in the Qur’ān and by the example set by the Prophet. We also attempt to address some commonly asked questions about Islam. Despite the fact that over one-fifth of the world’s population is Muslim, Islam is often misunderstood and misrepresented in contemporary western society.
