A Young Muslim’s Guide to the Modern World, by one of Islam’s greatest contemporary scholars, was written specifically for Muslims, and in particular young Muslims—urging them to become familiar with their religion and to gain an understanding of the modern world from the Islamic point of view in order to respond positively to its challenges. This guide, the first of its kind in any language, presents a lucid exposition of the teachings of Islam as revealed in the Qur’an, explained in the Hadith and Sunni of the Prophet and commented upon by Muslim scholars and thinkers, as well as outlining Western religious and intellectual traditions.
