Mahmoud M. Ayoub
What is Islam? Is it just a set of rituals or does it have philosophy all its own? Islam and Muslims are often in the news but does the non- Muslims really understand what Islam stands for?
In Islam, Faith and Practice, Mahmoud Ayoub presents the Islamic faith as Muslims understand it. The book is divided into three parts. The first deals with the Islamic rituals and institutions, their scope and significance for Muslim life ad society. The third part is devoted to the structure, duties and goals of the MUSLIMS COMMUNITY. This part deals with the Muslim Ummah as a religious, social and economic entry. This is followed by a discussion of meaning of Jihad, or struggle in the way of Allah. The book concludes with the consideration of ideal and goal of Muslim unity as implied in and necessitated by tawheed or Oneness of Allah.
