I ask the reader of this booklet to read it without preconceived no- tions about Islam, and that his goal should be to reach the truth, not to search for faults. Furthermore, do not be misled by your emotions.
Allah says: “(And when it is said unto them: follow that which Allah has revealed, they say: ‘We follow that wherein we found our fathers’. What! Even though their fathers did not understand anything nor did they have guidance?)” [2:170]

The reason for this is that a logical man would not accept anything un- less he has researched and scrutinized it, and he would only dissemi- nate it amongst people and rectify their errors once they have attested to its veracity.

Finally, I must admit that I have not covered every aspect about Is- lam in this booklet due to its vastness. Islam governs man’s life in this world in every aspect, and one would need to write several books in order to discuss all its aspects. In this booklet, I have highlighted some focal points concerning the basic morals of Islam. I mention each point, and then support it with proof from the Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet ( s).

Some may say, with the aim of implying that Islamic Law was adopted from present day law systems, that some of the Islamic laws can be found and seen implemented in modern society. This dubious point can be easily put to rest when we know that Islamic Law is over four- teen hundred years old. If anything, the laws implemented by these societies may be said to have been derived from Islamic Laws. Further- more, many Orientalists have studied Islamic Law for various nefarious reasons and objectives which seek not to clarify and explain it, but to downplay the true source by pointing at possible worldly sources.
