The Six Pillars of Faith. According to the Quran and the Sunnah

The interest and importance of this book are intimately linked to its subject. Faith is indeed the common base of all divine revelations and holds a prominent place in the Koran, both Meccan and Medina.
As part of our project to offer readers "The Essentials of Islamic Sciences", a collection that we want to be practical, rich and accessible, we are pleased to place this work in your hands, which deals with the Islamic faith of a simple but effective way. Indeed, the author succeeded in providing readers with the relevant elements of the faith while sparing them theological polemics.
Although dogma is a field that essentially concerns the invisible (Ghayb), the words of this book are supported by reason and modern scientific truths. We discover, over the pages, a wealth of teachings and a multitude of information giving the book a notorious merit. The didactic content and the pedagogical approach make it both an instruction tool for self-taught people and a teaching aid for groups.
This work certainly allows easy access to the Islamic faith as a scientific discipline and above all, presents it in a new light.
