Sinopsis

What Should a Muslim Believe?

A Satirical and Scholarly Field Guide to Islam's Core Teachings and Moral Questions

What does Islam really teach about God, women, Jesus, slavery, violence, child marriage, and the Bible?

This bold and accessible field guide doesn't rely on headlines, hearsay, or anti-Muslim screeds. Instead, it draws directly from Islam's own primary sources: the Qur'an, Sahih and Hasan Hadiths, classical Tafsir commentaries, and Islamic history. Written from a Christian perspective, it engages Islam's theology and moral framework with candor, compassion, and over 500 citations-so you can read what Islam actually teaches.

Each chapter begins with a friendly tone-sometimes tongue-in-cheek-and leads the reader through controversial teachings with documentation Muslims will recognize and Christians will appreciate. Whether you're a Christian apologist, an ex-Muslim, or a Muslim student trying to make sense of your religion, this book invites honest inquiry and careful reading.

Inside you'll discover:

• The Islamic teachings on Allah's nature, including bodily features, predestined guidance and misguidance, and his relationship with creation.
• Surprising rulings on marriage, including Muhammad's union with a six-year-old girl and the rules surrounding polygyny, sex slaves, and wife discipline.
• Whether the Bible is considered corrupted-despite Islam's own praise of the Torah and Injil.
• What the Qur'an and Hadith say about Jesus ('Isa): his virgin birth, title as "Word of God," and his prophesied return to defeat Christianity.
• How Islamic texts define apostasy, non-Muslim status, and jihad, and how these differ radically from the Christian model of enemy love and Gospel witness.

With chapters on:

• Allah, Muhammad, Jesus, and the Bible
• Men, Women, and Marriage
• Child Marriage and Slavery
• Apostasy, Jihad, Heaven, and Hell

This book is not hateful-it's truthful. Not angry-it's sourced. Not reckless-it's reverent in its critique and passionate in its pursuit of theological clarity.

Ideal for:

• Christian evangelists, apologists, and missions teams
• Seminary students and debate clubs
• Muslims seeking to understand their own tradition
• Ex-Muslims asking what they were never taught
• Anyone tired of TikTok slogans and ready for real documentation

What Should a Muslim Believe? is part polemic, part primer, and all sourced. It is designed to be used as a field reference for everyday conversations and deep theological reflection.

You've heard the da'wah. Now read the doctrine.
