About the Author

Suzanne Haneef, author of this best selling book and other works on Islamic subjects, has lived and traveled widely in the Muslim world. Islam, its sources and traditions, has been her object of study and inspiration since she embraced it more than thirty years ago. The present volume is the product of her search and understanding of the past three decades.

"It did not take long for Islam to become my own, totally fulfilling personal way of life," she says. "But at the same time it also became much more than that. In my earlier years, I was searching for a path of absolute certainty and conviction. When I discovered Islam, my search ended. The reminder of the journey has been exploration and discovery."

5.0 out of 5 stars Shows the peaceful & logical nature of Islam, March 24, 2000

This review is from: What Everyone Should Know About Islam and Muslims (Paperback)

A GREAT book, the information is very well structured and it targets every non Muslim and I think many Muslims could also benefit from it.

It proceeds in a very logical manner, first by setting the reader's mind to remove all the false media pictures about Islam away and start again from scratch. She provides logical reasoning in proving that the Muslim's book "The Holy Quran" is truly the Word of God and that the prophet Muhammad is in truth the final messenger of God. She explains the Islamic teachings and its role for a better way of life and how it effects the body, mind and soul. And it also deals with how Islam considers Christianity and Judaism. Even if you're not willing to convert to Islam, this book has information everybody has to know.
