This book, 'My First Steps in Islam', explains the basic tenets of the religion that every new convert, or more properly stated, revert, should be familiar with to best progress in their relationship with God. It covers a great many essential points in both matters of belief, as well as acts of worship, in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.
We hope that this book will be of benefit to Muslim readers, giving them clear knowledge of the rules of their religion in this area. We also hope that non-Muslim readers will gain an insight into the most essential aspects of the religion of Islam and will find this book interesting.
