The content is concise, yet understandable and informative. Everything is explained in a simple, friendly way, and the author also provides a glossary and list of external resources for learning more. For a new convert/revert, or even just as a "check in" after years, this is a great way to help keep yourself focused on values and priorities. It would also be a nice guide for something who wants to learn a bit about Islam or Muslims, to be more understanding and accepting. The Kindle edition is accessible and easy to navigate; I hope that my images (screenshots) help to illustrate this. Review: Nice and simple - I recently converted to Islam and I found this book to be super simple but informative. It talks about prayers, dress code, greetings, etc.

Essential Resource!

An excellent resource for new Muslims
I highly recommend this book for new Muslims. It is a short simple guide that you can read in an hour but covers all the basics on getting started with your new life as a Muslim.

Short Concise Information for New Muslims Reverts
I'm studying Islam and found this book. The author is clear and to the point. My only suggestion would be that the author had included references. While scholarship in Islam is a field of study. My thoughts are it would be nice to include this information at least as a footnote. For instance discussion on the five daily prayers could include Qur'an verses, along with the most widely accepted Sunday and hadith.

Quick, informative read.
Easy going, yet full of basic useful information. I really like that a list of online resources was given on the last page. Thanks to the author!

Great and Honest Read
The author states the purpose of the book well. It isn't meant to be in depth, therefore it doesn't overwhelm the reader/beginner. I highly recommend this read to anyone interested in learning about the faith or considering becoming a practicing Muslim. This does well to give a lot of useful information for a basic understanding as intended by the Author.

An Informative Step-by-Step Guide
This is a very quick and concise step-by-step guide for anyone that may be interested in Islam. It is easy to follow and understand. There is even a guide on certain Islamic terms to help clarify any confusion that one may have. This is a great book to read if you are new to Islam, writing a paper/completing a school assignment, or even if are simply curious about other faiths.

If you are a Muslim for more than, let’s say, one month… it’s not for you. It’s very very useful for people that know almost nothing. Don’t criticize the book for its biggest strength.

I actually got this as a starting source for learning about Islam. I am not a Muslim, but rather curious about the religion. It is a good source to learn from, but it is only a starting point. I would recommend it for new Muslims and others like myself who want to know more.
