Islam - Its Basic Practices and Beliefs
Using as a framework the most famous and authentic of all the classical definitions of Islam - the Jibril hadith - the author takes the reader step by step through all the basic practices and beliefs which make up the daily lives of every Muslim, giving a picture of Islam that is both completely traditional and also excitingly contemporary.
"Each of the elements mentioned [in the hadith] is dealt with individually at some length and the result is a comprehensive overview of Islam which will hopefully dispel some commonly held misconceptions and give a clear picture of how the Muslims understand and practise their religion on a day to day basis."
