Learn the basics of Islam

This book is very good to explain right from wrong the way God taught us by the example of his last messenger - Muhammad of Arabiyyah. The writer of this book learned Islam at alAzar University in Cairo, Egypt. You will learn that fornication (zina) is haraam (punishable sin). You will learn that alcohol and gambling are abominations of Shaytaan (Satan). You will learn that the woman may wear gold but the man is forbidden to wear the gold; it is haraam for the man to wear the gold because it is like a hot burning coal from the hellfire on is skin. You will learn that if the man cannot keep from the zina, then he must get a wife. With the wife is halaal (permissable), without the wife is sin. The Christian will benefit from reading this book too. Many things that God told to Christians, God also told to Muslims. This book is very good to know about Islam; another good book is by Abdalati and the title is Islam in Focus. After a Muslim reads these two books and reads translation of Quran, then he will know his and her religion. Too many Muslims do not know about Islam.

An excellent book

This is an important book that should be in the library of everymuslim today. As the title says this book talks about what islawful and prohibited in islam. It attacke issues that facesmuslims nowadays in their everyday lives. The author of the book is a well known respected islamic figure. Even though their are so many other books that talk about what is lawful and prohibited in Islam this book has something different. This book was printed thirteen differet times in Arabic. It was translated to other languages too. Seeing this great book out of print is something I didnt expect.
