Wamadhat fil Islam (Shards of Islam), by Nabulsi (Arabic), Al Fursan éditions

This book is a humble attempt to present the Creator of the heavens and the earth through the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad. The reader is invited to know, love, worship Allah, and to find peace and bliss by drawing closer to Him in this life and in the hereafter. Thus, he can realize the purpose of his existence, remain strong in the face of changes and novelties, and hold firmly to the established truth, which provides correct, deep and consistent perspectives on the universe, life, man, reality of existence, the criteria of knowledge, and the nature of good and evil, beauty and ugliness. This prevents the human spirit from going astray, protects its soul, prevents past regrets, and apprehends the future, far from doubts, distractions, lies, and illusions, in an era of globalization, of revolution of information, communications revolution, and domination of a single pole over the cultural, intellectual, social, and religious aspects of the peoples of the earth, with the attempt of this pole to mask the cultural and civilizational particularities of the nation Islamic.
