In a time when Muslims in the West live
in an environment of turmoil and difficulty facing new challenges daily,
they encounter a cultural dilemma, a clash of the Islamic and Western
civilisations. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to know the
foundations of these cultures, the differences between them as well as
understanding islam correctly taken from its pure sources. In this book,
the author highlights these aspects of the two cultures whilst also
giving a detailed explanation of the core beliefs of Islam.
