In this book, the author
elucidates the universalism and inclusiveness of Islam, and commonality with
other great revelations, primarily Abrahamic Traditions. He argues that the
fault lines that divide people in today's world are based primarily on
fear-based material pursuits and erosion of unifying spiritual principles, and
not on differences in faith. Relying exclusively on the Qur'an and the teachings
of the Prophet, the author explains Islam's universal message in a language that
even those not previously exposed to it can understand.
