Review :
"Islam Explained is a cogent introduction to an array of topics that span Islamic history and thought in a clear and engaging manner. I was amazed by the number of topics Salim has been able to cover in this brief book. Its succinctness is a drop that quenches its readers just enough to arouse their curiosity to learn more. Aside from its academic texture, the poetic sensibilities and style of the text add to its beauty. I would love to see this book utilized by Muslims, those in the interfaith community, and anyone interested in a comprehensive and sensitive reading of such a misunderstood and misinterpreted faith." --Dr. Rasoul Naghavi-Nia, Professor of Islamic Studies and Author "Islam Explained is a well-written comprehensive primer beneficial for readers of various backgrounds. I am familiar with the author's scholarship and recommend the work." --Dr. A.G. Ravan Farhadi, Professor Emeritus and Former Ambassador to the UN "At a time when studies of Islam are beset by jargon and confusion, Ahmad Rashid Salim comforts and enlightens even the most perplexed mind with clear language and well-organized chapters highlighting comparative subjects. He offers an inside yet unbiased perspective while combating misconceptions and taking on challenging issues like the Shi'a-Sunni split. I'm glad to add this guide to the resources I recommend to anyone new to the study of Islam." --Sayed Hassan Akhlaq, Ph.D. Professor of Religion and Philosophy (Northern Virginia Community College and Coppin State University) and Imam "Clearly and with warmth, Salim invites all of us--young people, theologians, and anyone curious to meet their new neighbors--into a wonderfully readable introduction of the fastest-growing major religion. This primer details the teachings and practice of Islam, provides context for its relationship within the Abrahamic faiths, and encourages interfaith collaboration to address the pain and suffering of today." --Rev Lauren Van Ham, Interfaith Minister, Faculty & Academic Consultant, The Chaplaincy Institute "If you have been looking for a book that is easy-to-read, authentic, and concise yet detailed enough to quench your curiosity about the teachings, practices, and beliefs of Islam, your search is over. Salim's book serves to answer all your burning questions about Islam and Muslims, shattering many myths along the way. It can also be used as a guide to fact-check the negative stereotyping so prevalent in western popular media." --Ejaz Naqvi, MD, Interfaith Worker, Blogger, and Amazon Bestselling Author of The Quran: With or Against the Bible? and The Three Abrahamic Testaments
