Customer comments on this selection.
 One of the best books I have ever read
This is one of those books that should be in every library in America. It is rich with information on Islam and on the misunderstandings of non-Muslims. I have read many books about Islam and if there is one that I would recommend after the Quran, this would be it. You will learn about every single practice that a Muslim can go through in his or her life. You will learn about the laws and regulations that the Quran and Sunna prescribe. I was taught that married adulterers were to be stoned to death in Islam. This book shows how that is a misunderstanding and they should only be given lashes. I also learned a great deal about apostates from Islam and how they are not to be killed and an example from the Prophetic Hadith proves it.
In response to the ignorant reviewer who says we should "Ask the tens of thousands of Israelis whos loved ones were killed by muslim suicide bombers," From 2000-2005, 3,135 Palestinian civilians were killed compared to 431 Israeli civilians. Suicide bombing is not an Islamic practice. It happens in the world where a people are under an occupation just like it continues to happen in Sri Lanka where Hindus who go by the name Tamil Tigers continue to blow themselves up. Read the Quran and read this book and you will walk away enlightened.
From a Western convert
The is a wonderful treatise on Islam. Through this book one can understand and see clearly the gentle teachings of Islam (submission to God's Will). Ali does and incredible job with both this book and his translation and commentary of the Qu'ran. If you want to understand Islam there is no better book than this. Particularly if you are converting from the Christian tradition or culture.
Most Comprehensive Single Volume Text on the Islamic Faith
greetings to one and all!
As a lay Muslim reader and student of the faith, i have read many, and examined most, Islamic books (from bookstores and to libraries) dealing exclusively with the theology of Islam; in my search, i have found very few books that can match the dimensions and depth of Islam covered by this eminent Lahori scholar, Maulana Muhammad Ali, in this single volume, The Religion Islam.
The Maulana takes the reader on journey of Islam, using the most authentic of sources, and under the most authoritative of interpretation. The writer was undoubtedly one hundred years ahead of his time; he has addressed any and everything a believer or sceptic wants to know about the religion of Islam; from revelation to modernity; from angels to devils; from rituals and sacred practices to rights and obligations; from polygamy to apostasy, and a host of other subject.
The Maulana's magnus opus is his: The Holy Qur'an, Arabic Text, Translation and Commentary.
Caveat: the Maulana was an original founding member of the original Ahmadiyya movement, under Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, after whose death, the movement broke apart. The Maulana founded the Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha`at Islam and moved to Lahore*.
English revert and translator of the Qur'an, Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall, in reviewing the "Religion of Islam" stated words to the effect that "this book has not moved a hair's breath from Islam's sacred orthodoxy."
Final note: anyone (believer, sceptic or atheist), seriously thinking of understanding Islam as a faith and as a way of life, should avail him/herself to the Maulanas' two primary publications: the Translation of the Quran, and the Religion of Islam, both of which i recommend without reservation or hestitation.
*i am NOT an Ahmadi; i'm just an ordinary seeker of knowledge on the road to Truth!
my best wishes on your search

Refuting The Claims Made by Other Reviewers
Bill
There is NO justification for suicide bombing, terrorism or indiscriminate killing of people of any faith in Islam just as there is no justification for regime change and invading other countries for oil in the Bible. These are the acts of religious extremists or deviants. As for the tens of thousands of Israelis I think you will find CONSIDERABLY more Palestinians have been killed by the Zionists and what justification can you give for soldiers opening fire on children? Think rationally, don't let yourself be blinded by double standards.
Catone in Utica The only Satanic Verses are the ones written by the deviant Salman Rushdie. You may think you're big and clever but will answer to God on the day of judgement for slandering the prophet Muhammad, the greatest man to ever walk God's Earth, peace be upon him. As George Bernard Shaw wrote in 'The Genuine Islam,' Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936 :
"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity."
"I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness"
don't take anyone's word...read the quran
The previous reviewer is typical of the people who operates from an ignorant base. I bet this individual had never read any books about Islam and had never spoken to a Muslim. His knowledge is purely based on what he sees in TV such as Fox news and what he hears pumped out by zealots/zombies Christians Zionists and Jews over clear channels fundamentalist radios or what he hears he preacher spews in his Sunday sermons of hate. You tend to feel sorry for this person because he is the product of our bankrupted educational system.
George Orwell wrote that people who neither read nor ask questions will ultimately lose all desire to question "Big Brother." What is so frightening as we descend into the new world order fascism is not that we no longer read -- it's that we no longer can read.
Quran was sent as a mercy to the world...to combat the self same ignorance this person is suffering from. To usher peace on this planet and to bring people together. But those who are brainwashing him are looking for the exact opposite...one needs to wonder why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
