Top Highlights
“Islam itself literally means ‘surrender’ or ‘submission.’ Taken as a whole, the religion of Islam can be defined as ‘Surrendering to God in a state of peace.’ A Muslim, then, is ‘One who willingly surrenders to God in a state of peace,’ and Muslims understand Islam, in this sense, to be the universal religion and path of all previous prophets and believers who are referred to as Muslim in the Qur’an.” (Page xxiii)
“Rather, the Qur’an is a book of guidance that seeks to teach us who God is, what we are expected to do on earth, how we are to live in this world, and what awaits us in the afterlife as we transition from this temporary abode to a more permanent one.” (Page xxxii)
“without considering other passages on the same theme, can be dangerously misleading and erroneous.” (Page xxxiii)
“the root word salam, meaning ‘peace’ and ‘wholeness” (Page xxiii)
