About the Book
While most countries today adopt secularism, Islamic nations are still actively embracing religion. As nations forge ahead in the fields of science and technological innovation, some Islamic societies appear frozen in time. Will Muslims join the ranks of those preparing for the challenges of the 21st century or slip back into an age where they close the doors to reason, insist on archaic laws, and are intolerant of dissent? Muslims today seem to be in a dilemma. Historians are questioning the integrity of their history. Islamic scholars are concerned about contradictions within the Hadith Literature, the backbone of Islam, and pressing for a complete review. Then there are the Quranists who are urging Muslims to revert to the fundamentals of the Quran. In this book, the author describes his quest to find the answers about God and discovers the Quran. He examines the evolution of the religion of Islam, its history, beliefs, the causes of Islam’s Golden Age, and what the future holds for Muslims.
