Which Way to Paradise?

Which Way to Paradise? by K. Sherman explains Islamic principles and the spirit behind them through an engaging Q&A format, answering real questions while directly refuting the misconceptions about Islam that keep coming up in conversation with newcomers and skeptics alike.

What the Book Covers

The questions range widely: the basics of the five pillars and the Qur’an; spiritual matters such as repentance, supplication, remembrance of Allah, asceticism and what a “sound heart” actually means; the character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ; relationships with friends and family; the position of women in Islam; and contemporary questions such as insurance and modern psychiatry. Selected Qur’anic verses and hadith are explained along the way, and common myths about Islam are addressed head-on rather than avoided.

About the Author

K. Sherman, a native of New York, lived in the United States through her third year of college before accepting Islam and moving abroad, where she has remained since. A mother of four, she writes so her own children never face the guideless upbringing she once did. Her first book, Why Islam?, is also published by IIPH; she welcomes reader correspondence through her publisher.

Who This Book Is For

New Muslims and sincere inquirers who want their questions about Islam answered directly, in a format built for exactly that rather than a straight narrative read.
