?Introducing Islam? provides the general reader with an accurate and comprehensive picture of Islam--the true religion of submission to God. In the first section it is shown that the true path is the path that God has revealed to mankind through His prophets. The second section provides an introduction to various aspects of the Islamic life under forty-five separate headings. Qur?anic teachings have been summarized in the third section in words taken from the Quran itself. In the fourth section the life that makes man worthy of Paradise has been described and in the last section the life that will condemn him to Hell-fire.

This book contains masnun duas or the duas which were taught by the Prophet Muhammad. Dua is a noble form of dhikr or remembrance of Allah. By learning these daus and recitng them at the appropriate occasions, our every action is turned into ibadah. Our sleeping, eating, drinking, dressing, etc, all assume the form of ibadah. Constant and conscious recital of the various duas at their appropriate time fixes the remembrance of Allah in the hearts. These duas of the Prophet draw the faithful closer to his Creator. Therefore, it is of absolute necessity that all Muslims learn and recite the various duas. Felicity and success will be the result, insha Allah.

Life and Teachings of the Prophet Muhammad

In Search of God

If a man opens his mind to the signs of God around him, the universe will become a manifestation of God's splendour. He will discover his Lord by observing them. While dweling in an earthly abode, he would see and feel nothing but the Lord on high. He will acknowledge that everything is from God. Seeing that he has no power in this world, he will look to God for help and protection. The beauty of this world will remind him of God's beauty; the greatness of natural phenomena impresses on him the greatness of the One who created them. So absorbed will he be in the glory of God that he will love nothing more than to spend his time singing the praises of the Lord.
