Islam Misgivings and History

 
Asghar Ali Engineer (Author)
Synopsis Islam is often misunderstood because of certain fundamentalists who have turned jihad into a misnomer and lead the youth astray. This book digs the truth out of the closet and clears the haze off the myths which have been passed off as Holy Preachings. The articles reflect the Author's impeccable understanding of Islam and Our'anic teachings. Sensitive issues like gender and feminism along with other commonly debated theories on science, corporal punishment, Hindutva, cow slaughter and violence have been astutely dealt with. Ali discourses on several disputed issues and quotes extensively from Qur'an. He unravels the mystery of the: Missing Verse" in whose guise people take undue liberties and also demystifies the word kafir. He refutes those who preach that science and Islam are oxymorons and unveils the hidden similarities between the two. He gives even arguments on the rights of women and does not shy away from admitting the shortcomings of people in interpreting them. He dives into the unfathomable and rediscovers the origin of Islam. This compilation is a must-read for all those who want to understand the preachings of the religion which has for long been unjustly associated with fanaticism.
