In our times of strife and alienation, the author presents a fresh argument for harmony and togetherness. She has a deep understanding of the human mind through ages in which God eternally leaves His unifying marks. God's Omnipresence binds our ageless humanity on one hand, and on the other, it directs us to His singular message of Unity. The author essentially focuses on the Unity of God, and articulates its dimensions from the vantage point of her Islamic conviction. In so doing, she places other religions vis-à-vis Islam and vice versa. In keeping with the spirit of Islam, she never indulges in the denigration of the other. She does encounter anti-Islamism that we see in vogue. Her style is unapologetic and straight to the point. She takes the antagonists to the task. But her tone, all throughout, is one of reconciliation. She seeks to make her audience understand her belief-system, i. e. Islam, and in turn, understand the misunderstanding of Islam by her audience. Her audience, obviously, is Western (if not exclusively), and as such, her arguments flourish in the Western context. She does leave room for the watchful non-Western Muslim and non-Muslim readers to get hold of that context. The book addressing timeless issues is quintessentially timely.  Muhammad Mashreque has been a professor of English at Allen University, Columbia, SC. Besides, he works with such organizations as uniting adherents of the Faith ( i. e. CAIR), and promoting ethnic-racial harmony ( i.e. SPLC).

The history of the Semitic Religion tells us people belonging to world's three great monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam have inherited their faith from Abraham. Their holy scriptures-both Bible and Quran also mentioned Abraham as the father of many nations. He was also called the friend of God because he overcame many difficult trials as it is believed by the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims equally, is to sacrifice his only son of his old age by the command of God. They also believe equally God commanded Abraham to stop when he was ready with a knife to kill his tied-up son inside a thick bush. They also believe equally he was provided with a ram and commanded to sacrifice it in place of his son. But one thing they have differed completely is about the intended son of his sacrifice. Both the Jews and the Christian claim the intended son of Abraham's sacrifice is Isaac- his younger son through his wife Sarah while the Muslims claim he is Ishmael-his firstborn through his second wife Hagar- Sarah's Egyptian handmaid. This book describes in detail how or why this difference or discrepancy in their claim occurred based on the statements of the Bible, the Quran and the narration of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic Tradition.
