This popular book is an attempt to respond to the needs of both Muslims and non-Muslims in North America. Its purpose is simply to acquaint the average reader with the basic teachings of Islam; not intended to present the depth or breadth of Islam. It guides Muslims to the median way in all matters of life and rejects fanaticism and narrow-mindedness. It provides truth about Islam, spiritual insight, and a moral approach to the human condition. The author hopes that "it will make them responsible citizens of their respective countries, honorable members of the human race, and above all else, God-minded people".
