The Message To Mankind In the 21st Century

Více o knize

This book offers a section-by-section commentary on the 114 chapters of the Holy Koran, presented in the universally accepted English text. Unlike the Bible, the Koran is viewed as the 'Direct Word of God Almighty,' free from corruption or later recounting. It addresses a wide range of topics, including the definition of a Muslim as one who submits to God's will. The text emphasizes that all prophets, from Noah to Muhammad, were Muslims, suggesting that the essence of Islam predates the formal religion. It delves into concepts of Heaven and Hell, individual accountability on the Day of Judgment, and the nature of Creation, reconciling Koranic teachings with modern scientific understandings of the universe's age. The book also discusses the relationship between the Old and New Testaments and the Koran, asserting that the perfected religion of Islam is poised to lead faith in the 21st century. Completed before significant global events like September 11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it aims to foster understanding and potentially save lives. The author, Suliman Ebrahim, is a British Muslim barrister with expertise in Koranic teachings and international affairs, having lived in various countries, including South Africa and Botswana.
