The world is at a crossroads today. A tiny minority of Muslims seems to be bent on hijacking the religion of Islam and bringing it into perpetual conflict with the rest of the world.

Divided into five chapters, his explanation of Islamic concepts is compared with current issues and perspectives on Islam. This work is not an attempt to preach to the reader but aims to fill the gaps in one's understanding of the Islamic worldview. Translated by Syed Bashir Ahmad Kashmiri.
