An Introduction to Islam &
its Principles
2
Preface
The purpose of this work is to present the authentic teachings of
Islam. We do not present any specific version or a unique inter-
pretation of Islam. We present Islam as it is, without sugarcoat-
ing, and we allow it to stand on its own merits. There is only one
Islam and only one example of how it is to be lived - that of the
Prophet Muhammad ( ).
Our intention is to provide a basic
1
overview of the main tenets of Islam as given in the Qur'an and
as exemplified by the Prophet ( ). We also intend to address
some of the commonly asked questions about Islam.
Despite the fact that over one-fifth of the world’s population is
Muslim, Islam is often misunderstood and misrepresented in con-
temporary Western societies. It is hoped that this work will help
shed light on Islam as it was divinely communicated to Muham-
mad ( ) and dispel any commonly held misconceptions that per-
petuate prejudice and hatred. We write this booklet in the hope
that people of all faiths will join us in making this a world of tol-
erance, kindness, understanding, and peace.
Please do not post more than a paragraph or two of any copied material, and then post a link to the remainder. If you have any questions, please PM.
