The Basic Concepts of Islam

The purpose of this book is simply to acquaint the reader with some basic teachings of Islam. What is intended is to provide the common but literate person with a proper insight into the subject and help him to appreciate the principles and concepts which Islam stands for. Once he develops the initial interest he can pursue the course of deeper knowledge on his own. If this modest effort is successful it is by Allah’s grace and guidance. But if it falls short of readers’ expectations we can only pray and hope that Allah will forgive our imperfect judgements.
