NEW BOOK – Islam: A Practical Guide
Finally, a practical guide to understanding Islam
Islam is the greatest gift that God has given humanity. Yet too often, it remains misunderstood and misapplied in modern times.
Shaykh Ismail Kamdar calls us to rethink our approach to Islam. To view it as more than just laws and beliefs, but as a comprehensive way of life that transforms the soul, empowers communities, and provides practical guidance on every aspect of life.
This book is a unique study of Islam as a practical way of life. Six important themes are covered across thirty unique essays based on the weekly Friday sermons by the author, Shaykh Ismail Kamdar.
Themes explored in this book:
- Qualities of Islam: universal, just, natural, easy…
- Dealing with the difficulties of life: trusting God, making sense of pain, pushing through hard times…
- The Gaza situation: history, legacy, optimism for the future…
- Family: Marriage, gender wars, parenting…
- The Quran: how to study, how to reflect deeper, themes of key chapters…
- Muslim History: how to study, key events, unique historical figures and their legacies…
