In the face of pervasive Islamophobic propaganda today, it has become an urgent priority for Muslims to articulate the authentic and unaltered essence of Islam—as the final divine message to humanity and a comprehensive framework for curing the ailments of today's world. This book is the first in the "The PURPOSE Of Everything" book series that primarily aims to achieve this noble purpose. Book (1): A CRASH COURSE IN ISLAM, THE QUR'AN AND HADITH presents the fundamentals of Islam, its values, and its position in relation to previous divine religions. It further explores the Qur’an and the Prophetic Hadith in some detail, and concludes with a concise account of how the Qur’an laid the foundations of Islamic Civilization, and its contribution to the Renaissance age in Europe.
