Description

"Islam in the 21st Century" provides a fresh approach to understanding Muhammad, the Quran, and the Hadith. The book argues that the essential elements of a Muslim's faith should include respect for science, equality in gender, and tolerance toward other beliefs. Contrasts are drawn with the Salafi, whose quest for power and deviations from true Islam are encapsulated in a central chapter on "The Seven Sins of the Salafi." Although the book is of general interest to anyone concerned with Islam, specific guidance is given to Muslims on topics such as how to practice prayer, fasting, and charity in line with the science and knowledge of today.
