          INTRODUCTION
        
        
          For some time now there has been a need for an
        
        
          introduction to Islam, presented in simple and
        
        
          concise language, which might provide children
        
        
          with fundamental religious instruction and also be
        
        
          useful to adults who want to understand the
        
        
          teachings of Islam.
        
        
          By the grace of God a book of this nature has now
        
        
          been compiled. It consists of five parts, the names of
        
        
          which are as follows: The Way to Find God, The
        
        
          Teachings of Islam, The Good Life, The Garden of
        
        
          Paradise and The Fire of Hell.
        
        
          THE WAY TO FIND GOD
        
        
          The title of the first part is self-explanatory. Man
        
        
          requires guidance in his search for God. The
        
        
          universe provides man with such guidance in
        
        
          visual form. The whole universe seems to be
        
        
          beckoning man to join it in its inexorable progress
        
        
          towards the Lord. So dazzling is the sun’s radiance
        
        
          that it seems to wish to convey a message to man,
        
        
          but cannot do so before setting. Trees extend their
