Description on back cover:
The Book of Essential Islam examines the main teachings and practices of Islam with lucidity and depth. It can serve equally well to introduce non-Muslims to Islam, as well as to enhance Muslims understanding of their own faith. Through their balanced and yet profound perspective, the Rafeas elucidate the idea of Islam as the Primordial Religion (Din Al-Fitrah), the Religion that all Prophets conveyed and that was revealed to Abraham.
This book presents Islam as a spiritual training system that supports human beings in harmonizing themselves with the Divine Order and thus with each other and the natural environment. It reveals the intent and inner significance of practices like ablution, ritual prayer, fasting and pilgrimage.
The Revelation to the Prophet Muhammad was and remains a continuation, confirmation, and clarification of the One Message that the Divine has sent to humanity since Father Adam. The core of that Message is the essence of spirituality freed from superstition, dogmas, authoritarianism, and fanaticism. From its beginnings Islam has affirmed freedom of belief, respect for other religions, and the unity of humanity.
