Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi


A masterpiece introduction to ISLAM by scholar Mawdudi dealing with the basics of ISLAM has changed lives for the better. Find out why!

Islam is not a 'religion' in the sense this term is commonly understood. It is a system encompassing all fields of living. Islam means politics, economics, legislation, science, humanism, health, psychology and sociology. It is a system which makes no discrimination on the basis of race, color, language or other external categories. Its appeal is ot all mankind. It wants to reach the heart of every human being," writes Sayyd Abul Ala Mawdudi, scholar extraordinaire in his landmark book Towards Understanding Islam.


Islam is about much more than daily rituals and habits passed down from parent to child over 1400 years, as unfortunately many Muslims have made it into. Rather, it is a dynamic system of life that touches all of us. In a clear and candid style, Mawdudi has penned this masterpiece introductory explanation of Islam.


Millions of copies of this book have been printed in more than 40 languages. The purpose of this book is to provide both Muslims and non-Muslims with a brief but comprehensive view of Islam. This is why a discussion of minute details has been avoided and why the author has sought to portray the entire picture of Islam in a holistic perspective. The book also tries to explain the rational basis of Islamic beliefs.


This is one of the author's landmark books. It is an excellent gift for Muslims and non-Muslims and an essential addition to your personal library.
