25 Icons of Peace in the Qur'an

The prophets in the Qur'an condemn war,
hatred, and disparity and advocate the belief in God's
oneness and His call for peace among mankind. Assel
successfully captures the minds of readers by giving them
the opportunity to analyze and compare the stories of the
prophets in the Qur'an with those of the prophets from the
Old and New Testaments. She brings together the validated
interpretations of both Sunni and Shia schools of thought in
order to sustain objectivity and allow room for comparison
and interpretation.
Islam is an important force
of solidarity and unity among mankind. It is the ultimate
triumph to Muslims who perceive it to be the final test to a
peace-seeking democratic society that denounces the dominant
forces that are conspiring against it. This book is a
valuable reference and text for students, professionals,
scholars, and all who are interested in learning about Islam
without having to read the entire Qur'an. It brings to the
forefront the belief that Islam is truly a religion of
peace. It was the death of her thirty-three year old son,
Mazen, and her search for spiritual and emotional peace that
inspired her to write this book.
