About this ebook

This book is a critical analysis of religion in general and Islam in particular. It covers some common misconceptions about Islam that both Muslims and non-Muslims have. The book starts with a little introduction of the author—how and why he became an ex-Muslim—and it is followed up with the importance of writing the book. The first chapter covers the importance of critical sense over common sense and how we should always invoke critical thinking when it comes to looking at the world around us. The book also covers some arguments for God and some counterarguments against God’s existence. It discusses the importance of God in keeping the morality of the society and the mental well-being of the human species. It also discusses the baggage that comes with religion, leaving our only lives here on planet earth devoid of pleasure and enjoyment. Moreover, it discusses the scientific flaws in the Quran and argues how it looks like a book written by a seventh century Arab warlord rather than the creator of the billions of galaxies. It discusses the critical and sensitive topic of the character of Allah (Muslim God) and Muhammad in light of the Quran, Hadith (collection of Muhammad’s quotes), and the biography of Muhammad. It gives a detailed account of Muhammad’s wives and violence in his life. In the last part of the book, the author discusses the rise of Islamism in the western world and its dangers. Finally, it educates its readers on how to debate with a religious apologist and some common arguments and techniques employed by them. It is a very interesting read into Islam from an ex-Muslim’s point of view and the best guide to learning Islam.

Changing with science could mean that you are wrong, at the current moment. But with faith and gods unchanged words it certainly the truth even if we cant see it right now.. for example god says that he is ever expanding the universe. Back in the day no one would had believed it and the statement sounded illogical and stupid but it is now proven to be the truth

What a well-written book. I'm glad to have the choice to pay for this book and also have a choice to choose to read this book as I wish. I couldn't be more inspired as a living been without all the Baggies of religion. Excellent work. This is 2022 COVID-19 has f***d the world up, because of human deception, thanks to all the vaccine that is bringing about normality to society again and hope.

Great book! Recommended for anyone interested in learning more about Islam, while also wanting to critically evaluate religion and advocate for liberal secular humanism.
