Synopsis "The Wealthy Servant: Towards Understanding Islam"
The Wealthy Servant explains Islam for non-Muslims by clarifying misconceptions and presenting the concept of submission to one God as a means towards inner wealth. It is a fresh look at Islam that shows how many of its concepts are very relevant to today's problems. Through comparisons to Christianity and western values, the book enables readers to see that Islam is something familiar rather than foreign. Topics include family, marriage, compassion, willpower, prosocial spending, equitable distribution of wealth, and care for the environment. Many of the subjects are supported with current research in the social sciences. The Wealthy Servant looks at the importance of science and critical thinking to Islam, and in this manner critiques the validity of mysticism and fundamentalism by some groups. The book also dispels common misunderstandings about Islam, such as shariah, jihad and women's rights. The Wealthy Servant is not an academic text, but written in a conversational tone highlighted by the author's anecdotal accounts of the faith since converting to Islam twenty-five years ago.
