This book is an English version of Sayyid Mawdudi’s Urdu Khutubat. Originally delivered to ordinary, almost illiterate, farmers and servicemen, it met the real and great spiritual and cultural needs of Muslims in Southeast Asia in the twentieth century.
It includes sections on belief; each Pillar of Islam (faith, prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage); and the meaning of jihad.
Review:
Alhamdulillah, this an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn what a Muslim is and what a non-believer is. It gives the reader a clear definition with examples which helps one relate. The author Syed Abul A'la Maududi is to me one the contemporary revivers of Islam not only in South Asia but all over. The movement he started Jamaat Islami is based on his ideology which is based on Quran and Sunnah which should be the foundation of all that we do in this world to help us be successful in the hereafter in-sha-Allah
