A book to hand to someone rather than to keep — which is a different thing from a book about Islam, and a harder one to write well.
What It Does
It explains the fundamentals of Islam and draws attention to verses of the Quran and how they relate to science and the natural world, which is often the point of entry for a reader with no religious background.
Who It Is Written For
Non-Muslims who would like to understand Islam, Muslims and the Quran — and Muslims who want something to give them.
The illustrations matter here more than in most books. A person with no prior interest will look at a well-produced illustrated guide and will not open a dense text.
Its Preparation
Rich in information, references and bibliography, and reviewed and edited by many professors and well-educated people — which is what allows a reader to check the claims rather than take them on trust.
Who Buys It
French-speaking Muslims doing da'wah, masajid and Islamic centers buying in quantity, and anyone with colleagues or neighbors who have asked questions.
Description en français
Ce guide d'introduction à l'Islam constitue un excellent outil de da'wa. Il expose les fondements de l'Islam et met en lumière des versets du Coran et leur rapport à la science et au monde qui nous entoure.
Il s'adresse aux non-musulmans qui souhaitent comprendre l'Islam, les musulmans et le Coran — et aux musulmans qui cherchent un ouvrage à offrir.
Riche en informations, en références, en bibliographie et en illustrations, il a été relu et corrigé par de nombreux professeurs et personnes qualifiées, ce qui permet au lecteur de vérifier par lui-même.
