""111:1-5 Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and may he perish too; neither his wealth nor what he has earned will avail him anything. He will roast in a flaming fire, and his wife will be a carrier of fire-wood, she shall have a rope of fibre around her neck."" The phrase ""In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful"" launches 112 of the 114 chapters of the Koran. If compassionate is defined as being aware of the suffering of an other and wishing to relieve it, and merciful as being unconditionally kind and forgiving, then these are not the qualities we would associate with the Author of verses about roasting a man over an open fire, with his wife, tethered like an animal, supplying the firewood fueling the flame that is burning her husband. Does it matter that Abu Lahab and his wife did not hide their disdain for the Prophet Muhammad and his new religion? It matters to Allah, and what matters to Allah is what Getting to Know Allah is all about.

Muslims boast to all and sundry that they are the followers of the true religion of Abraham, but beneath the lofty claim are Muslim scholars, leaders and apologists’ presumptuous efforts to conceal the religion’s thriving pagan bedrock. In an attempt to bridge over the vast chasm between paganism and monotheism, Islam, through unsubstantiated links to Ishmael, audaciously placed Abraham, his mistress Hagar and son, Ishmael, down in Mecca and then assigned Abrahamic legends to every pagan belief, practice and ritual. Mohammed was also unashamedly presented as a monotheist in the midst of pagan Mecca, despite irrefutable evidence that proves he was also a habitual pagan. In addition to these deceptions, attempts to morph the pagan god, Allah into the God of the Bible were made but, to all intents and purposes, in vain. This book unpacks Islam’s lofty religious claims, and the common misconceptions of what the religion is and what it is not. With meticulous care, evidence from primarily the Islamic scriptures were collected, analyzed and then presented to prove this book’s assertions. The book also examines the uncensored history of the religion to expose its obscure beginnings, shortcomings, subsequent cover-ups, and outright deceptions. Islamic scriptures have also been successfully linked to the contemporary issues of the religion’s violent coercion, terrorism, intolerance, misogyny, antisemitism and supremacism. Targeted at all truth-seekers in general, this book is the ultimate handbook for anyone in pursuit of knowledge and truths. It is the first handbook of its kind that examines and conducts nuanced analysis of the un-sanitized scriptures of Islam in order to demonstrate that it is certainly not what it claims to be. Indeed, if one follows the evidence of the rise of Islam, one will undoubtedly discover the religion’s thriving Arab pagan bedrock.

Allah's Apostle said, ""Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords."" Bukhari 52.73 9:111 Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth in return for Paradise; they fight in the Way of Allah, kill and get killed ... Rejoice then at the bargain you have made with Him; for that is the great triumph. ---- Allah's Apostle said, ""I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, ' ... Bukhari 52.196 61:9 It is He Who sent His Messenger forth with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it triumph over every religion ... What the Koran has to say about this on-going global struggle for religious supremacy, and the civil war which started it all, is what Jihad in the Koran is all about.

In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, now expanded with bonus content, Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way. Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi struggled with an inner turmoil that will challenge Christians, Muslims, and all those who are interested in the world’s greatest religions. Engaging and thought-provoking, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus tells a powerful story of the clash between Islam and Christianity in one man’s heart?and of the peace he eventually found in Jesus. "I have seldom seen such genuine intellect combined with passion to match ... truly a 'must-read' book."—Ravi Zacharias
