DOWNLOAD E-Book: Islamic Beliefs, Practices & Ethics

This book is based on the famous Hadeeth Jibreel which is a comprehensive narrative on the three dimensions of the religion of Islam. Although the word “Islam” is used to identify the faith of approximately 1.2 billion people around the world, literally, Islam reflects the external forms of worship of a Muslim, whereas the dimension of belief is called “Iman” and the inner dimension of beauty of both beliefs and practices is referred to as “Ihsan.”
