This book is about Islam, the religion founded by Muhammad in Arabia at the beginning of the 7th century A.D. It furthers knowledge from many scholars in this field but with exceptional articulation and fitting approach. These render it timely for education on Islam. Divided into seven selections, the book targets the mind of all explorers of Islam, particulary African Christians of different backgrounds, cultures and education.   

The author is a neutral and critical observer who discusses and presents various features of Islam to African Christians with unparalleled simplicity, clarity, comprehensiveness and objectivity. By highlighting selected features of the study of Islam, the author seeks to awaken Christians in Africa and equip them with objective knowledge of Islam. He invites them to participate actively in the on-going Christian-Muslim dialogue because forestalling religious conflict and working for peace in Africa are not optional activities; they are mandatory.
