Wisdom of Mankind Description: Is Islam a cult or a religion? Does Islam promote violence and chauvinism? Is it opposed to co-existence and diversity? These days, especially after 9/11, there are hundreds of books with screaming titles, each purporting to present the "truth" about Islam and Muslims. The readers are told in those books that Muslims want to kill them, because the Qur'an says so; Muslims want to impose shari'ah in the West and impose Jizyah (a tax imposed on able-bodied non-Muslim men of military age) upon them; Islam - is not a religion of peace; Islam does not promote sound moral values; Islam debases women; Islam is incompatible with both democratic pluralism and science; Islam will take away all their rights and privileges, etc. In short, these books confirm every fear one may entertain about Islam. How true are such assertions and myths?In this compiled work by drawing from reliable Islamic sources and traditions, dating back to the time of Prophet of Islam, Habib Siddiqui dispels many of the myths about Islam that pervade the Western media and the minds of the public at large in the West. He shows that Islam is the religion of all the Prophets of God since the time of Adam and that it is a living and breathing religion that is practiced in vast territories of Asia and Africa by nearly a quarter of the world population whose daily practices and understanding of their faith are at odds with those of the nihilists and misguided extremists who in recent years have terrorized some western cities. Habib Siddiqui's book - Wisdom of Mankind - is a timely one when suspicions about Islam and Muslims run high, and zealots on the both sides of the religious fault-line are seemingly bent upon bringing about civilizations wars. By reading this book, the reader can make up his or her mind about what Islam preaches and what is expected from a Muslim when he lives within a society as a citizen, as a parent, sibling or child. This type of books, more than the tomes written by scholars of Islam, will help to enlighten the general public about the true beliefs and original spirit of Islam.
