 Islamic HistoryThis book is interesting because it is written by an Englishman well in the 19th century, and so predates by more than a century, the tension between Muslim countries and the west. The preface reads: “The present work is an humble but earnest endeavour to free the history of Mohammed from false accusations and illiberal imputations, and to vindicate his just claim to be regarded as one of the greatest benefactors of mankind”. Davenport was not a seasoned historian. |  Humanity in IslamIslam preaches equality of all human beings regardless of their color, where they come from or the home they were born in. This is displayed in every facet of the religion, especially in the daily prayer, where all Muslims pray together behind a prayer leader, shoulder-to-shoulder. |  Women In IslamIn the west, the common picture of a Muslim woman is the stereotype of a woman hidden behind a veil, a voiceless, silent figure, bereft of rights. It is a picture familiar to all of us, in large part because this is invariably how the western media portrays women in Islam. The reality is very much different, as noted in the Muslim scriptures and practised by the Prophet Muhammad during his lifetime. |

 Charity in IslamIslam makes charity compulsory to all Muslims and it is one of the five pillars of the religion and is called Zakat. Muslims have to give to the poor and needy and those that are less fortunate, to please god. |
