From the Back Cover

This book is written in a structured way to give basic insight into the religion of Islam and how Muslims practice their religion. After this book, readers may realize that in many cases they know more about Islam than the average Muslim does. However, the aim is not that Christians can correct Muslims about their beliefs. Instead, Christians should demonstrate a keen interest in what Muslims have to say.

The information herein may contrast with statements by Muslims and help Christians to differentiate between facts and wishful thinking of Muslims.
On this basis, Christians are then able to formulate more effective questions to challenge Muslims to think about the relationship between themselves and the Creator. Rather than immediately present answers, it is better that Muslims are first challenged to think and find answers themselves.

Only later may Christians share their faith with Muslims and explain the teaching of the Bible.
