[Madeline Blair · Rating 5 out of 5]

simple, quick, but very beneficial and informative read. describes the 6 articles of faith and 5 pillars of islam, meaning of worship, the sunnah tradition, and principles of good manners and virtuous behavior of believers in a concise and engaging way. while the information wasn't necessarily new to me, the way everything was described offered me a renewal and expansion of perspective and made me love islam all the more. a couple very minor proofreading mistakes here and there but didn't detract from readability whatsoever. highly recommend both for non-muslims interested in islam and muslims to strengthen the foundations of knowledge!
