With all the misconceptions of Islam in the media, having read this really made me feel warmhearted. It can be seen in today's society that individuals can be easily led into extremism, having basic knowledge; such as the content within this book can overcome such problems. It's about the real beliefs and teachings of Islam, there are many things in the book even I hadn't known myself (being a Muslim). It was very easy to understand and was well written, really enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

I'm glad I read this book, it was a fantastic read. The duties of Muslims towards each other and non-Muslims are highlighted clearly and in a way that's simple to understand. The basics of the religion have been highlighted which not even I knew even though I am a Muslim myself. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone!
