A Concise Guide to Islam Defining Key Concepts and Terms Ayman S. Ibrahim This compact volume provides explanations for more than one hundred important Islamic concepts and terms. It complements the author’s A Concise Guide to the Quran and A Concise Guide to the Life of Muhammad . Together, these three volumes are useful as a set of resources on Islam. “In this thoughtful work, Ibrahim opens windows into our Muslim neighbors’ worldview by clearly explaining Islam’s key concepts and vocabulary. An excellent resource for healthy dialogue.” —GEORGE BRISTOW, Institute for the Study of Religion in the Middle East (ISRME) “An invaluable resource. For those working or serving among Muslims, this book will be the go-to reference to better understand Islamic concepts or words. For the novice or veteran Christian mission - ary, A Concise Guide to Islam meets an important felt need, while also serving as a resource for anyone wanting to understand more about the Islamic faith.” —CAROL B. GHATTAS, author and speaker with over thirty years in cross-cultural ministry among Muslims “Ibrahim has provided a work that will be kept close, not only by those who are initially seeking to understand Islam and its adher - ents but also by any who find themselves needing a clear definition or explanation of a term or concept related to Islam. An excep- tional resource for all who wish to understand Islam!” —GEORGE H. MARTIN, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; editor of The Southern Baptist Journal of Missions and Evangelism “A valuable book, incorporating up-to-date scholarship in an easy- to-read style. Ibrahim has provided a versatile volume that promises to be frequently consulted and will be at home both in a university library or on a pastor’s bookshelf.” —DUANE ALEXANDER MILLER, Protestant Faculty of Theology at Madrid (UEBE) “Writing for beginners, Ibrahim focuses on key Muslim beliefs and practices, delivering a compendium of a hundred-plus terms and concepts. The entire itinerary, from Islamic texts and history through jurisprudence to Islamic movements, will considerably enrich general readers who go the distance.” —ANT GREENHAM, coeditor of Muslim Conversions to Christ: A Critique of Insider Movements in Islamic Contexts “This book will be a welcome companion to all who desire to better understand the faith of their Muslim friends. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.” —J. KEITH Mc KINLEY, Bevin Center for Missions Mobilization, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
