Understanding Islam

Understanding IslamThrough History, Through Theology, and Through Daily LifeUnderstanding Islam provides a practical introduction to Islam from a Christian perspective. This book examines Islam through three complementary perspectives: its history, its theology, and its influence on daily life.Beginning with the Arabian world and the rise of Muhammad, Müller traces the development and expansion of Islam before examining its principal authorities, including the Qur’an, Hadith, and Shari’a. He explores Islamic beliefs and practices, major sects, morality, family life, the spiritual world, and Paradise, while highlighting fundamental differences between Islamic and Christian understandings of God, humanity, salvation, and Jesus Christ.The book concludes by turning from understanding Islam to engaging Muslims, providing a foundation for Christians seeking informed conversation, respectful witness, and meaningful ministry.
