Islam is the world's second largest faith. This book is a comprehensive guide to the faith itself and to Islamic society. Written by a practising Muslim, it looks at all aspects of Islam including:

- the life of the Prophet Mohammed
- the Qur'an and its revealed teachings
- worship in Islam
- Shi'ite Islam, Sufism and Islamic mysticism
- the history of Islam
- the views and status of Muslim sects worldwide
- Muslims in Britain.

Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood, the author, has worked on local education committees developing syllabi for Religious Studies. She developed a course of study enabling any student without the facilities or teachers at school or college to work for the Islamic Options for the GCSE examination in Religious Studies (EdExcel, London) at home, at school, at madrassah, in prison, in short - anywhere. She also tutors the distance-learning course for the Association of Muslim Researchers (AMR).
