Sinopsis
In our times of strife and alienation, the author presents a fresh argument for harmony and togetherness. She has a deep understanding of the human mind through ages in which God eternally leaves His unifying marks. God’s Omnipresence binds our ageless humanity on one hand, and on the other, it directs us to His singular message of Unity. The author essentially focuses on the Unity of God, and articulates its dimensions from the vantage point of her Islamic conviction. In so doing, she places other religions vis-à-vis Islam and vice versa. In keeping with the spirit of Islam, she never indulges in the denigration of the other. She does encounter anti-Islamism that we see in vogue. Her style is unapologetic and straight to the point. She takes the antagonists to the task. But her tone, all throughout, is one of reconciliation. She seeks to make her audience understand her belief-system, i. e. Islam, and in turn, understand the misunderstanding of Islam by her audience. Her audience, obviously, is Western (if not exclusively), and as such, her arguments flourish in the Western context. She does leave room for the watchful non-Western Muslim and non-Muslim readers to get hold of that context. The book addressing timeless issues is quintessentially timely. Muhammad Mashreque has been a professor of English at Allen University, Columbia, SC. Besides, he works with such organizations as uniting adherents of the Faith ( i. e. CAIR), and promoting ethnic-racial harmony ( i.e. SPLC).

One God for All is an interesting and contemplative work, delving deep into the ancient texts of both the Bible and the Quran, to uncover the ties which bind Christianity and Islam to each other, and the origins from which differing practices and beliefs have stemmed. People of all religious backgrounds can benefit from this thorough and informative text. One God for All surprises us with its hidden gems of knowledge, sure to intrigue and enlighten even the most learned of readers. Christina Johnes Maryland Writing a book on comparative religion is a very challenging task, as one must be well-versed in different religions. Mrs. Banu has spent much of her life reading and researching different books on Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and other religions. Finally, she has presented us with this version. The very name ?One God for All? says that we all worship the same God. However, there are many deviations and misconceptions among different groups in some beliefs. Mrs. Banu has tried to eliminate those misconceptions by taking verses from the Bible, Qur?an, and Torah. This has presented a unique opportunity for the readers of all faiths to judge for themselves what the truth could be. In this world of conflict and confusion, we all are looking for reconciliation and peace. I hope Mrs. Banu?s efforts will lead many of us in that direction. I congratulate the author and the publisher for taking up the challenge of publishing this book, and I hope they are successful in their endeavors. Dr. Mohammad Q. Islam Maryland
