"What is Islam? "

Jamaal al-Din M. Zarabozo is a well-known American Islamic scholar, author and translator residing in Boulder, Colorado, USA, where he completed this book in late 2005. He is recognized for his rigorous scholarly approach and his commitment to the orthodox Islamic methodology based on the Quran and Sunnah, which is clearly reflected in his introductions that always begin with the traditional Islamic praise and testimony of faith. Zarabozo maintains strong ties with prominent academic and dawah institutions and figures; his work has received support and endorsement from the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Dawah and Guidance, alongside his collaboration with an elite group of scholars and professors to review and refine his writings. In his works, he focuses on presenting Islamic creed and law in an accurate and clear manner tailored for Western and English-speaking readers, aiming to spread a correct understanding of Islam and introduce its fundamentals free from misconceptions.

It is one of the specialized agencies under the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da’wah, and Guidance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This entity is responsible for the full supervision of printing, publishing and distributing approved and authentic Islamic books and publications, in addition to supporting research and scholarly studies that serve Islamic culture. The agency works to spread correct awareness of the Islamic religion and its tolerant values, and to provide reliable knowledge to Muslims and non-Muslims around the world in various languages (including English, as in this book), relying on specialized scholarly committees to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the content.
