THE ISLAMIC FAITH

This book talks about belief. This book is a short outline of the Islamic faith as held by the Sunni Muslim community. The author dedicates this work to the people of Syria - may God put an end to their distress - and to Muslims in general. He gives this outline guided by the Qur'an and the Prophet's sunnah, as well as the faith expounded by the early Muslims, i.e. the Prophet's companions and the generation of tabi'in who succeeded them. As the author has an excellent command of Arabic, thee book benefits by clarity of expression enabling the reader to easily comprehend the true Islamic faith. The true faith is the foundation of good action that benefits the one who does it in this present life and in the life to come. It is also the starting point from which the world Muslim community may reclaim its leading position in the world which it deserves. It is only natural, therefore, that scholars should dedicate themselves to explaining and clarifying the true faith. In doing so, they also point out what is in conflict with it, or mars its beauty, of word and deed.
