The "Teach Yourself World Faiths" series aims to present all the essential information required by a reader who has no previous knowledge of the religion, but who wants to feel confident in dealing with members of the faith community - in terms of their beliefs and attitudes, and also of the practical details of their culture, ceremony, diet and moral views. As such it is relevant to the needs of police, social workers, solicitors, businessmen, teachers and all who require sensitivity and insight in dealing with the public in a multi-faith and multi-ethnic society. "Teach Yourself Islam" is an introduction to the history, beliefs, religious practices and social customs of the Muslim religion. It is suitable for A-level students, as background reading for undergraduate students in Religious Studies, and for the general reader.

some EIGHTY GENERATIONS of Christians have gone to the grave believing reasonable confidence that Jesus was the son of God. Twenty five percent of the world's Population, we are told, still entertain no doubt on the subject. Many talk about Jesus with great familiarity and certainty, as if they knew him Personally, or had witnessed the events of his life. Some people know their New Testament so well, and have analysed it so minutely, that they have been able to erect wonderful descriptive edifices and theories on rather modest foundations If any Christians begin to experience doubt the utmost discquiet ensues, because love of Jesus has always been seen by them as the highest of all possible callings, and service to him the noblest way of life . The claim with which they have been familiar is that the self- sacrifice of God in the form of Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation This book is a fascinating read as it delves into Christian and Islamic viewpoints on the Prophet Jesus. The author provides a coherent and logical argument behind why much of the early 'Christian' teachings as taught by Jesus were lost so soon after he had 'left us', and why so much of modern Christian theology is little more than a mish-mash of pagan beliefs and political manoeuvring on the part of the early Christians. A great read for anyone interested in who Jesus really was and the conflicts between the teachings of Jewish Christians (including James, the brother of Jesus), the Trinitarian Christianity of Paul, and the Unitarian Christian as followed in the east at the time.

A much needed manual, this marvelous book that draws from Islamic sources to provide practical advice for a Muslim couple. Far from the sociological analysis or list of rules that fill other books about Islamic marriage, this book draws from the wisdom of the Sunnah to show how to love your partner in this life and prepare each other for the next. Written with plenty of real life experience (and even humor) from Muslims living in the West, the author balances the issues of male-female differences, respect for each others rights and needs and raising God-conscious children. A must read for anyone interested in marriage. Modern life brings strains and pressures which can upset even the most compatible relationship. This means that nowadays, to protect the spirit of cooperation and happiness which is the sign of the true Islamic marriage, careful thought needs to be given to the mechanisms which help husband and wife to live together and respect each others rights. This highly readable book takes the reader through the relevant passages in the Quran and Hadith (Islamic sources), and goes on to discuss the main social and economic problems that can afflict relationships, suggesting many practical ways in which these can be resolved.
