Yet Islam’s holy book gave birth to one of the most                 powerful and enlightened civilizations the world has ever seen.                 By the sixteenth century, Muslim culture stretched from India                 to Africa to Europe, preserving with it the ancient learning                 that helped spawn the Renaissance. With its interwoven                 ideas of faith and reason, justice and mercy, the path of                 Islam—which literally means “surrendering to                 God’s will”—offers a uniquely focused and                 balanced approach to living life with a profound awareness of                 God. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eWith gentleness and insight, Sohaib N.                 Sultan leads you through the central themes of both the                 Qur’an and the collected sayings of Prophet Muhammad,                 known as \u003ci\u003ehadith\u003c\/i\u003e. These teachings dispel common misconceptions about Muslim beliefs and offer practical guidance for your own                 spiritual journey, from understanding the merciful nature of                 God; to cultivating peace and justice in the self, family, and                 society; to answering questions about the afterlife and how to                 attain it.  \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eNow you can experience the wisdom of                 Qur’anic teachings even if you have no previous knowledge                 of Islam or Muslim writings. Insightful yet unobtrusive                 facing-page commentary explains the texts for you, allowing you                 to enter into the path of surrender to God. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157402796272,"sku":"9781594733499","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781594733499_p0.jpg?v=1763810599","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781594733499","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
