Synopsis Islam, contrary to common belief, is a scientific religion, based on logic and reasoning, with a rational attitude towards life and the world. Islam, as a religion and socio-political institution came on scene in 7 century A.D. and spread over the world in the years to come, the prime reason for this being sovereignty of God and the universal brotherhood. Islam is far more democratic and scientific in its ideology than the world thinks. Islam believes in equality of humanity without discrimination on the basis of gender, caste, creed or race. It was the first religion to have granted equal rights to women and thats the sole reason why there has been no feminism and women's movement in Islam. Religious philosophy of Islam is liberal in its approach and teaches its followers to respect other religions, there is no concept of idol worship in Islam and it believes in one God and his superiority. Its social philosophy is logical in nature. This book deals with all these themes in a very systematic order and the author tries to provide a true picture of Islamic tenets and practices. This research based book covers all those aspects of Islam, which provide its relevance in the modern context and explores its role in the contemporary world.
