Of the many books explaining Islam, few specifically address the concerns and questions of those from a Christian background. Moreover, the commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are too often ignored. Set out in an easy and informative question-and-answer format, the book addresses the specific theological points of agreement and difference between Christianity and Islam, explains the core religious beliefs and practices of Islam, and answers today’s most common questions of Islam and Muslims in an age when there is much conflict and misunderstanding. Islam is best judged not by the limitations and transgressions of its most extreme, ignorant, and outlandish followers, but by the example of its moderate majority, and Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood presents this introduction to the theology and practice of Islam in an attempt to explore some of the false impressions that surround it.
Table of Contents:
Section 1: The Religious Beliefs of Islam Explained
Section 2: the Religious Duties of Islam Explained
Section 3: Miscellaneous Questions
Section 4: Christianity and IslamRuqaiyyah Waris Maqsood gained an honors degree in Christian Theology from the University of Hull in 1963 and then taught religious studies at various state schools until her retirement in 1996. She converted to Islam in 1986 and now lectures and writes on Islam.

The Invisible Empire: Remote Control, Geopolitics and The Revelation of The Phantom Menace is a “Macabre Classic” that is all about gaining real insight into why religion is under attack in every corner of the world, precisely who is in fact behind these attacks and why they are deemed necessary and how these attacks are directly related to the great experiment that in fact lies behind one world government, the military-industrial complex and the culture of perpetual fear, warfare, invasion, cultural devaluation and ceaselessly escalating debt that some of America’s most loyal, dedicated and informed leaders from Abraham Lincoln to William McKinley to Dwight D. Eisenhower to John F. Kennedy have warned us about for nearly two centuries and several have given their lives trying to combat.
I travel all over the world and when I tell people that I am American I am immediately inundated with questions about why America is so obsessed with fear, instability, war and attempting to run other nation’s business solely in America’s own national interests and after a decade of being inundated with the same questions I decided to write a book that directly, and in fact correctly, addresses the issues that many people outside of America find so distressing. The Invisible Empire is a work that is an in-depth analysis of why people think that President Obama is either the Antichrist or an Inconceivably Stellar Pimp, why all major industrialized nations are fact satellites as opposed to truly sovereign nations, why America is mortally obsessed with spreading freedom and democracy, why America feels that it cannot pull out of the war on terrorism, why Americans cannot get rid of guns, why America is completely obsessed with pitting itself against militant cultures from The American Indians to The Empire of Japan to The Vietnamese to The Bosnians to The Afghans, the precise identity of the Kalki Avatar, the religious motivations that in fact lie behind America’s culture of relentless militarism, religion’s core objective and religion in its purest form, the real reason that Lucifer and his angels were cast down from heaven, how the Bible is a superweapon, why America views The Islamic World as a threat, Christian Jihad and why the crusades still rage on today, the cordoning of the nuclear weapon, the cyclical reoccurrence of Armageddon, why America is called God’s country and why America feels that it has the God given right to run other nation’s business solely in its own interests.
The Invisible Empire also thoroughly explains how the global cycle of relentless violence in fact starts during the process of inception, the great mysteries of why there is Hindi on The Infamous Georgia Guide Stones, the race to arm, finance, nationalize and commercially exploit the African continent, why black men don’t fear terrorism, how and why numbers are the world’s oldest, slowest and most effective poison, why humanity simply does not add up, why the dramatic increase in the crime rate has evenly paralleled the dramatic increase in the rate of literacy, why gangsterdom and religion have simultaneously been abandoned, the total disintegration of the American family and American Family Values, why American men are obsessed with marrying foreign women, the exodus from white women, the lesbianism, self-isolation and suicidal depression of black women, and the effects of a century of legal profiteering.

Throughout history, many societies have suffered from great catastrophes because of their blasphemy and perversion. Here are the true stories of these nations… Many societies that rebelled against the will of Allah or regarded His messengers as enemies were wiped off the face of the earth completely… All of them were destroyed-some by a volcanic eruption, some by a disastrous flood, and some by a sand storm. Perished Nations examines these penalties as revealed in the verses of the Quran and in light of archaeological discoveries.
Preface
These are some of the stories of communities which We relate unto thee: of them some are standing, and some have been mown down (by the sickle of time). It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition! (Surah Hud: 100-101) Allah creates man, and gives him a spiritual and physical form, lets him lead a certain course of life, and then will take him into His presence by bringing about his death. Allah creates man and according to the verse ?Should He not know,- He that created?? (Surat al-Mulk: 14), He is the One Who knows and recognises him, who educates him and meets his needs. Therefore, the only real purpose man has in life is to praise Allah, supplicate Him and worship Him. For the same reason, the pure message, and the revelation of Allah communicated to people through His messengers is the so! le guidance for man.
