Removing Misconceptions in Islam
Islam is a religion of peace. It is wrongfully being portrayed as a religion of violence by a handful of people. If you want to know what is Islam you must look to its original sources: The Quran and the Sunnah. This presents Islam as it is, drawing on its original sources rather than judging it by the later day interpretations and commentaries or the practices of present day Muslims in different parts of the world. A distinction is made between Islam as presented by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions (information about which is available to us in the Qur’an and the sunnah) and Islam as represented by later Muslim generations — both in theory and practice. This is what we call the scientific approach. By adopting this method, we can remove the misconceptions about Islam and see it as the religion of peace that it actually is.
