In discussing da’wah to Islam the book concentrates more on the methodology of da’wah than its obligations and mandubaat (recommended actions). This is because the need today to have knowledge of this methodology has become most pressing and important, superseding all other aspects. The book concentrates on the ‘method of da’wah to re-establish the Islamic state’ because this aspect represents the backbone of the da’wah to Islam today. Today, under these circumstances where the Islamic state does not exist, every call that does not make the establishment of the Islamic state its pivot and the centre of its attention, is incomplete. The book covers subjects such as:
· Enjoining the Ma’roof (goodness) and forbidding the Munkar (evil).
· The obligation of the presence of groups that carry da’wah.
· How to establish Dar al-Islam (abode of Islam).
· Refuting methods contrary to the Shar’ee method.
· The method of Islam in understanding the ahkaam (rules).
· Is it allowed to have more than one movement calling to Islam?
· The halaal (permitted) is not reached through haraam (prohibited).
· Moderation and extremism.

Comments
1)Why dont you give references at the end of the book?
2) suggestions for further reading should be specified seperately,so that the reader can get a comprehensive view of the issue.
3)when describing the various flaws in certain scholars and movements arguments,i think it would be better if you would give the examples of what had happened and what was the reality of the issue.of course,i do not say that you should name people or movts and blame them-instead the incidents should be mentioned so that the reader can be clear of the issue.hope so these suggestions would be taken care of in the second edition.Salaam.
This is not the reality of what happens on ebay and such sites.
Does anyone have a .PDF or .Doc of the book "Islamic Thought", or "Al-Fikr al-Islami" by Sheikh Mohammad Mohammad Ismail?
Please inform me...
