Islam: Its Beauty and Wisdom

Dr. Gohar Mushtaq | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 184 | Size: 1.7 MB

This book first explains what the five pillars of Islam are in such a way any non-Muslim can understand and appreciate. It then heads in a direction I have never personally seen before in any religious manuscript. By this, I mean it provides us with effective scientific reasoning to explain health benefits associated with performing obligatory prayers (SALAH) and fasting (Saw’m). As someone similar to Dr. Mushtaq with an extensive background in the Life Sciences, I can certainly appreciate this approach. He explains how the timing of the five prayers during the day can aid in maintaining good health. The prayers in the early morning, late afternoon, and after sunset are shorter because they are performed on an empty stomach.
