A very well written book that explains exactly what Islam is really all about, and how it was intended to be practiced. If you are looking for a lot of rhetoric or race bashing, this is not the book for you. If you are looking to read something that accurately explains the religion of Islam, I highly recommend this book.

This book gives us a look at the current views of Jamil al-Amin. Geared toward muslims, it's a guidebook to the major tenets of Islam from an African-American perspective. It's a good introduction both to Islam and to the current views of the unjustly-incarcerated Muslim leader.

An amazing book! If anyone wants the real deal on Islam, and doesn't have time to wade through all the mumbo jumbo and politics that many books confuse Islam with, then this is the book you need to read. It's a simple read, and it's loaded with all the basics that you need in a metaphorical, yet practical and straighforward way.

If you are expecting the wild polemics of the former H. Rap Brown, this isn't it. The "revolution" Jamil El-Amin is referring to is the revolution within oneself and the means in with the teachings of the Islamic faith and the Koran could cause a person to reform oneself. Even if you are not a Musim, it's interesting reading as a change-of-pace,
