A masterpiece introduction to ISLAM by scholar Maududi dealing
with the basics of ISLAM has changed lives for the better. Find out why!
Islam is not a 'religion' in the sense this term is commonly understood. It
is a system encompassing all fields of living. Islam means politics, economics,
legislation, science, humanism, health, psychology and sociology. It is a
system which makes no discrimination on the basis of race, color, language or
other external categories. Its appeal is ot all mankind. It wants to reach the
heart of every human being," writes Sayyd Abul Ala Mawdudi, scholar
extraordinaire in his landmark book Towards Understanding Islam.
Islam is about much more than daily rituals and habits passed down from parent
to child over 1400 years, as unfortunately many Muslims have made it into.
Rather, it is a dynamic system of life that touches all of us. In a clear and
candid style, Mawdudi has penned this masterpiece introductory explanation of
Islam.
Millions of copies of this book have been printed in more than 40 languages.
The purpose of this book is to provide both Muslims and non-Muslims with a
brief but comprehensive view of Islam. This is why a discussion of minute
details has been avoided and why the author has sought to portray the entire
picture of Islam in a holistic perspective. The book also tries to explain the
rational basis of Islamic beliefs.
This is one of the author's landmark books. It is an excellent gift for Muslims
and non-Muslims and an essential addition to your personal library.
Author Biography: Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi (1903-1979), one of the chief
architects of the contemporary Islamic resurgence, was the most outstanding
Islamic thinker and writer of his time. He devoted his entire life to
expounding the meaning and message of Islam and to organizing a collective
movement to establish the Islamic Order.
In this struggle, he had to pass through all kinds of suffering. Between
(1948-1967), he was put behind bars on four occasions, spending a total of five
years in different prisons in Pakistan. In 1953, he was also sentenced to death
by a Martial Law Court for writing a "seditious" pamphlet, this sentence being
later commuted to life imprisonment.
In 1941, he founded Jamaat-e-Islaami, of which he remained Amir until 1972 and
which is one of the most prominent Islamic movements of our day. He authored
more than one hundred works on Islam, both scholarly and popular, and his
writings have been translated into more than fifty languages.
He died in 1979 after a lifetime of writing, struggling and working for Islam.
He was awarded world prestigious "King Faisal Award for his outstanding
Services to Islam.
