Synopsis: Islam Through Quotations This book is written for Muslims living outside of Islamic countries and do not know the Arabic language so they may understand, with the least effort, the basic principles and spirit of their religion. With so many misrepresentations about Islam; this book should also be useful to non-Muslims to understand Islam, and Muslims, better. The word “Islam” means peace, submission to God’s will and obedience to His laws. It is based mainly on the Quran revealed by God to His Messenger and Prophet Mohamed and the Prophet’s application of the rules thus revealed. Islam is the continuation of all former religious principles decreed by God through His revelations to all prophets. The prophets include Moses, Jesus Christ (as a prophet but not as a divine) and many of the prophets and leaders of the Old Testament. Unlike other religions, there is no titular head, clergy, nor priesthood in all of Islam. Also, unlike the way other religions are understood and practiced, Islam is a “way of life” that encompasses all aspects of community activities, not only supplication to God. Indeed, it is said (1:874)* that “the true saint in Islam goes in and out amongst people and sleeps with them, buys and sells in the market, marries and takes part in social intercourse, and never forgets God for a single moment”. Islam is presented in this book through quotations to eliminate the effect of the writer’s personal opinion. Quotations are taken mainly from the Quran and the Prophet’s “Hadith” (quotations). Added to them are quotations from the “Rightly Guided Caliphs.” The reason for choosing the quotations from these caliphs is that they were constant companions of the Prophet and, therefore, understood Islam “first hand.” The quotations cited present, therefore, a view of Islam free from accretions of tradition; in its purest form.

Pages:  132 Author's Bio: Kamal-Eldin Hassan Dr. Hassan was born in 1921 in Cairo, Egypt to Hassan Youssef, a Civil Engineer responsible for building many of the country’s barrages and dams, and his wife Amina Amin. Following in his father’s footsteps, he studied Mechanical Engineering, receiving his PhD in 1955 from the Illinois Institute of Technology. He returned to Egypt, and joined the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University where he became the Chair Professor of Thermal Power Stations. During his career, he enjoyed interacting with his students, mentoring and guiding them through their Masters and Doctorate programs. He also authored many scientific papers and books. In recognition of his contributions, he received the Egyptian State Award for Science in 1975. In 2003, he presented much of his technical library (over 1400 books) to the newly established Library of Alexandria, Egypt. He frequently returned to the United States as a Visiting Professor at Tulane University, and The Georgia Institute of Technology. He also spent a year at New Mexico State University as a Senior Foreign Scientist with the National Science Foundation. Believing that Islam’s message is of peace and co-existence; he helped found the Islamic Society of Atlanta in 1973, and was elected its first president. He wanted to bridge the gap between Muslims and non-Muslims, especially in non-Muslim countries. Dr. Hassan understood Islam as a way of life that focuses on the freedom of choice, not as dogmas and rituals. This is the message he wanted to convey to his American born and raised grandchildren. So for over twenty years, he taught them that in his deeds, and he dedicated this book to them and to people like them. *************************************************************************** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
