О овој е-књизи

This book is a compilation of the author’s articles on various facets of Islam, published earlier in various newspapers and journals. It gives an insight into various faiths and how they have influenced the lives of their adherents. Many of these concepts have been examined in the context of Islam and Muslim culture. The purpose of the book is to reinforce the bond of tolerance between people of different faiths, ideas, and philosophies. The author firmly believes this is possible if we all understand and accommodate each other socially, culturally, and ideologically.
There are several misconceptions in the minds of people on account of the absence of exposure to the authentic literature of various faiths. Most people learn about different faiths and beliefs not by studying their original literature but by inferring from what is being discussed and commented upon in public discourses.  
This book is a sincere attempt to encourage the general public and youth to directly understand the values and ideas that underpin all these faiths. Hopefully, this strategy or approach could help resolve several misunderstandings and misperceptions. This is the most sensible way for humanity to come closer and live in peace and harmony.
