Endorsements

“There’s never been a more important time for interfaith dialogue than now. Rashed explains how the tenets of his religion forbid the sort of behaviour shown by extremist groups. At the same time, he doesn’t sugar-coat the religion’s ethics. Overall, I find it a balanced and informative book and would recommend it.”

Allister N. Thompson

Freelance Editor

“Loved this book! The format is new and innovative, and the content is very informative. Instead of a question/answer straight out format, it’s a series of written conversations between two people. It doesn’t read as contrived or scripted and gave me new insight into the Muslim faith.”

Lily Shadowlyn

The Faerie Review

“Reading What Would a Muslim Say felt like taking a journey in the minds and hearts of people and what they feel and think about Islam and Muslims. The questions are honest and reflect the thirst that people have to understand and explore what Islam is about. Ahmed Rashed remained focused in his answers even when it got really tough or emotional. He kept the answers balanced as they were also honest and spoke to the level of the person asking the questions with no judgement and with extreme patience, representing what Islam stands for and what good Muslims are like.”

Hoda Elsharkawi

Muslim Chaplain, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“Typically, we find books on Islam that only cover the basics, but lacking personality and style. One of the unique traits of my teacher and colleague, Ahmed Rashed, is his ability to be methodical, precise and eloquent simultaneously rather than at the expense of the other. When I was reading this, I found the combination of content from scripture to prophetic tradition and then historical perspectives along with striking metaphors and analogies to be extraordinary. Hopefully these books are only the beginning.”

Testimonials

- James A. Cox,

Midwest Book Review

"Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, What Would a Muslim Say is impressively informed and informative, making it a critically important addition to both community and academic library collections. Deserving of the widest readership possible given today's national dialogue concerning Americans of the Muslim faith..."

- Kimberlee J Benart,

Readers' Favorite

"For readers who know little about Islam, but see or watch the news and social media and have some questions, What Would a Muslim Say is a useful introduction ... Rashed's responses are intelligent, detailed, thorough, and scholarly, but offered in a respectful, understandable, and friendly tone. He is like a skilled educator who encourages dialog, rather than simply answering a question."

- Andrew K

"What I love about Ahmed Lotfy Rashed’s work is that he gives concise and thorough answers and explanations of Islamic doctrines without in any way making the reader feel he is being confrontational or cringingly apologetic. Ahmed knows his own faith and patiently shares his beliefs while maintaining a considerate and accessible voice. There are exchanges he shares which honestly reflect Islam as well as show that not every faith can be all things to all people. He remains polite and nonconfrontational, but also refuses to distort or misrepresent his faith. Ahmed has done a remarkable job – using a friendly and honest tone – in not just sharing his faith, but honestly chronicling his communication with those wishing to understand. The friendly, conversational tone made this a religion book which was actually fun to read."

- Suze

"An excellent book formatted as a conversation between people searching for answers and one who lives and breathes Islam. This is a good book to assist those just beginning their education on Islam. I was amazed that both people searching for answers, and those attempting to debunk the religion were featured. Honest, intelligent answers were given in either case. I would highly recommend this book to anyone searching for God."

- A. Deyein

"Very insightful and informative. The author answers all questions with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. Through his answers he encourages discourse, which is what we need more of in this increasingly divisive world."

- Kimmy

"The author should know that his grace and tact in answering questions was most appreciated in reading this book. I wish we had more people to answer questions as eloquently as he did here. I would recommend the book to both Muslims and non-Muslims and found that a lot of my own questions were answered completely. Thank you dearly!"

- Kashif

"I have presented Islam myself in different religious organization and public schools for the last 7 years. This book is the essence of the teachings of Islam. It removes the common misconceptions against Islam. It answers the most asked questions by non muslims. A must have!"

- E. Setiadi

"This book is a collection of e-mail correspondences between the author, interfaith instructor Ahmed Lotfy Rashed, and real-life people asking real-life questions. I'm talking about genuine questions like: Why do Muslims are living the same way as 1400 years ago with no progress? Why do Muslims support terrorist attacks? Why do Muslim women wear a head scarf? Why are women oppressed in Muslim countries? And many more, including questions on those conflicting passages in the Qur'an that leads to misinterpretations by extremists. It is one of the most direct books that tackles the hot pressing topics on Islam right now, an absolutely vital book to read for those who are sceptical to, or even agressive towards, Islam. It is also, in a way, a good guidebook for Muslims who constantly being harrassed and attacked based on their beliefs, on how to calmly and respectfully answer and straightened the wrong accusations. The author repeatedly says “With dialogue comes understanding", and that is ultimately what this book does."

- E. R. Johnson

"Ahmed Rashed's first book "What Would A Muslim Say" is very well written and organized. In it he documents email "conversations" he has had with several people of various backgrounds. These range from Muslims looking to get better understanding of their religion, people wanting to convert and asking for information & guidance, to hard-core Islamophobes wanting to bash the religion. I got a lot out of this book. Ahmed's skill and tact in answering / retorting (in the case of Islamophobes) is most commendable. I could only hope to be so cool-headed and reasonable in the face of attacks on my person/new religion. This book would be a good read for new converts, existing Muslims, and especially for any Islamophobes that deep in their heart are "sitting on the fence" and perhaps wanting to actually understand that which the have been instinctively fearing. I'll be getting all the books in the series for sure!"

- J. Pedrone

"What would a Muslim say is a great book for those interested in Islam, or even for someone who thinks they know about the Muslim faith, but has never really interacted with a Muslim. In the book Ahmed Rashed publishes his interactions with people who have logged into his website with questions about Islam, the Quran, and much more. The queries vary from the genuinely interested to those simply wanting to bash the Muslim faith. The book is a simple read for anyone regardless of their familiarity with Islam, the Quran, or faith in general. The author provides honest straightforward answers to the questions (even those that are asked in a very harsh manner). The reader will get answers from a Muslim about questions about Islam. I found the book to be interesting, especially because you get the perspective from someone engaged in the faith. I can say that even though I belong to a different faith tradition, it was helpful to learn more about the Quran, and how Muslims involved in the faith interpret passages in their holy book."

- Cristy

"I greatly enjoyed this book. I found it to be a good general starting point and more importantly for the beginning student in Islam, conversation starters. I also took the Islam 101 course offered by the author and found this very informative. The best part was the accessibility to the author. You can email him your questions and he responds very quickly."

- S. Stuart

"Basically a book in a question-and-answer format with the theme of "With dialogue comes understanding". The author answers e-mails ranging from the mildly curious to the outright hostile with logical, precise prose and a bit of informality. There is no hint of a preaching tone. He provides a basic description of Islam and how it compares to Judaism and Christianity and gets into details regarding "true" Islam's view of the world and how it contrasts with the actions of several of its adherents today. I learned a lot from this book and look forward to any future editions where I hope the author delves into more of the history and culture of Islam. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand more of the fastest growing religion in the world."

- D. Miller

"For an interesting discussion of what a learner may ask about Islam, this book is exceptionally well done. These days, much information regarding Islam (and about any other subject) is twisted to support an agenda. Coming to a source of information without a filter is refreshing and informational. As I am not associated with any established religious sect, I enjoy learning about how others see the world and their beliefs, compare them to my own, and gain from them. While I will not be adopting Islam as my religion, I learned through Mr. Rashed's work that I share many beliefs with Islam. I especially enjoyed the support of research and science... something that I find lacking in too many Christian beliefs."

- Ted

"This is a group of discussions which reveal the many similarities between the three largest religions today. The amazing thing I found was that many of the beliefs I was taught as a Catholic are reflected in the Muslim doctrine. These writings could be a link for peace and understanding. Not all Muslims are terrorists.  Gives a direct view of Islam's basic beliefs and tenets."

- E. Taylor

"This book answers many of the questions I had about the Qur'an. It is worth a read! The answers to the questions are easy to understand, even for a non-Muslim. The author is well educated on the topics at hand, and explanations are clear and concise, as well as accurate. A great work and informative read!"
