This book is like a whetstone that sharpens our abilities to uncover true happiness from within.”—Gobind Vashdev, spiritual teacher and bestselling author of Happiness Inside “. . . mercy and compassion lie at the heart of the religious quest and this message is vitally important in our dangerously polarized world.”—Karen Armstrong, author of the bestselling books, Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time, Islam: A Short History, A History of God and Fields of Blood “Islam, the Faith of Love and Happiness offers an antidote . . . by presenting the heart of Islam, the extent to which Islam, the Qur’an and Muhammad offer a message of love and happiness.”—John L. Esposito, Professor of Islamic Studies, Georgetown University Through touching stories, humorous anecdotes, and profound insights into the spiritual realm that draw on sacred Islamic teachings, Dr. Haidar Bagir shines a brilliant light into the darkness that all too often overwhelms us.
