This review is from: Second Message of Islam: Mahmoud Mohamed Taha (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East) (Paperback)

This is by far the best book for non-Arabic readers. While Ustazh Taha had written over 30 books detailing his thought about Islam and proposing solutions for mankind problems, only two of these books were ever translated to foreign languages. The fact that the translator, Dr. Abdullahi An-Na'em was himself a follower of the teachings of Ustadh Taha, and a renowned international law professor and human rights actvisit, makes this work readable to westerners, while sticking to the original meaning of the Arabic text. No man has been so misunderstood and his thoughts and deeds unappreciated as Ustadh Taha, both at the local and global levels...

This review is from: Second Message of Islam: Mahmoud Mohamed Taha (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East) (Paperback)

You got to read this book because it is different in its concept of religion in general. This book is not about Islam (as everybody understands), the writer is coming from a unique stance. This book is valuable to individuals, academics and politicians as it raises fundamental issues for bringing peace to the Thinking, Behaviour and Life of humans.
