Synopsis

A gentle, steady companion for your first year as a Muslim.
If you have just said the shahada — or you are quietly wondering what it would mean to — this book is written for you.
Islam Made Easy walks a new Muslim through everything needed in the first year: the six articles of faith, the five pillars, the Qur'an and the life of the Prophet Muhammad, halal and haram, prayer and fasting, Hajj, and the daily rhythm of a Muslim life. Written in plain English, without jargon, and paced for real life.
What makes this book different:

  • Plain English, no jargon — every Arabic term is explained on first use.
  • Honest about scholarly differences — where the four Sunni schools disagree, this book says so, kindly.
  • Paced for real life, with a week-by-week roadmap for your first year.
  • Never shaming — the tone of the book acknowledges that learning takes time.
Inside you will find the six articles of faith, the five pillars, the life of the Prophet in eight vivid pages, step-by-step guides to wudu and salah, zakah and Ramadan made clear, halal food, modesty, marriage and family, honest answers to misconceptions, what to do when you slip up, a twelve-month roadmap, warning signs in teachers and groups, and a glossary of over fifty key Arabic terms.
"Pray imperfectly for a year before you pray perfectly for an hour."
Book One of The New Muslim Companion — a series of clear, practical, and gentle guides for new Muslims and curious readers, from Meridian Publishers.
