What has Islam given to humankind? by Mamdouh Al-shikh is a religious book. Mamdouh Al-shikh is from the ancient lands of Egypt. He is a Muslim writer and convinces the other religions of the world that Islam is a peaceful religion. In this book, he discusses the gifts of religion Islam to the world.

The book consists of three chapters. In the beginning, the writer explains the basics of religion Islam like Attaqwa, Wahi, and many others. Definition and explanation of the word mercy are presented in the Islamic perspective. The writer provides references from the holy book of Muslims, Quran. He also provides the details of chapters. He also refers to the Bible at some locations. The whole book is based on the word civilization. The writer uses references from both Bible and Quran. Each page of the book consists of a religious reference. The writer highlights the blessings of religion Islam to the whole world. Islam is the last religion of the world and complete religion. Islam takes cares of every human being on planet earth and even animals.

This book is not an easy thing to understand because it is full of references of Quran. If a reader is not a Muslim, then he or she is going to find it difficult to understand. I am a Muslim, and this was pretty simple for me, and that is the reason I selected this book for the review. If someone is not having a religious background, then he is going to waste his time by reading this book.

I rate What has Islam given to humankind? 2 out of 4 stars. The book does not attract its targeted audience in an efficient way. This book is for non-Muslims in order to show them the blessings of religion Islam. The reason for which the book is not attractive is that it satisfies Muslims only. The writer was not conscious, or he has no knowledge of attracting other religions of the world. I am a Muslim, but still, I am criticizing the writer because I know how to attract other religions of the world.

I will recommend this book to all the religious readers of the world. People who are interested in religious debates can also read this book. Someone who is finding facts about Islam can also read this book.This book is also for Muslims so that they can strengthen their beliefs.

I'm not a Muslim, but I might check it out, out of pure curiosity. Too bad it's heavily geared towards readers of the Muslim faith.

Nice review. I love the fact that this is book on Islam Being a muslim I will read it and try to gain more knowledge. I also do hope that non-muslims can read it to,so that they can understand the religion rather than rely on the negative potrayed by mainstream media nowadays. Jazzak allahu khair

Same here! As an American, Muslim is almost a four letter word. There is so much misinformation out there in our media it is so hard to talk to anyone about a non-Christian religion these days. Of course, it is the right-wing Christians causing the majority of the difficulties in our country right now.

It sounds like the author made it a bit too complicated for those who don't know anything about Muslim. It's a shame because that's who he's trying to reach. Maybe the author can do some editing?

To help you out...you can read it like a novel and do not be afraid to highlight and ask where you did not understand.

I am actually not a Muslim, and your statements regarding the difficult terminologies and concepts used in the book. This could have been a vital piece for everyone who wanted to understand the intricacies and beliefs of the Muslim community. Thanks for the review, though.

If it is well-written (regardless of if it would be difficult for a non-Muslim to understand) it is possible I would find it interesting. Comparative religions is one of my interests.

I understand your rating. If your target audience can't comprehend your concepts then your objective for the book has failed. Thank you for your honest review.
