Islam means, literally, submission to the compassionate will of God. How could it have come to signify something so altogether different in the world today? It becomes clear throughout Islam and World Peace that the original Islam being spoken of by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen is as different from the news headlines as were the teachings of Saint Francis from the Inquisition. We think you will find this perspective both refreshing and thought provoking.

The true words of any religion,
By Nikki "happycakes" (rhode island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Islam & World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi (Paperback)
this book not only explains the true beauty of Islam, it proves that all religions are the same and beautiful and important. that all of the religions gods are really ONE GOD. this isperfect for someone who doesn't understand Islam. this is perfect for someone who loves learning about religions and is trying to find a realiable source to accompany the Q'uran. This is a perfect gift for someone who has lost touch with faith altogether, has anger or a skewed vision of Islam and so forth. it is AWESOME. READ IT.

An Eye Opener,
By A Customer
This review is from: Islam & World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi (Paperback)
I never understood the true meaning and beliefs of Islam until I opened the pages of this book. Whether you are Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu or whatever your belief, this should be a book on your "to read" list. It talks of faith, love and a deeper vision into our lives. Bawa explains an Islam of untiy, not one of destruction. I have never tried to sell a book in my life, but I will now. Buy this one!!

The message of Peace within Islam,
By A Customer
This review is from: Islam & World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi (Paperback)
This is a vitally important book that reveals the real depths of Islam; showing a rich faith worthy of respect, and even emulation. The Islam explained in this book is centered on mercy, patience, tolerance and the deepest regard for other lives. The author informs us that the greatness of God, the well known "Allahu Akbar", is demonstrated within acts of wisdom and compassion. Thus, true power within Islam is gained through achieving these qualities and becoming a beacon through those means. The model of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad, is the exemplar of such qualities. This is truly an eye opening book on the most important subject of the day.
