    About this ebook

    An American boy questions a strange faith. He was given the homework assignment to interview someone from a different religion, and he chose Muslims. In this short book, internationally acclaimed author Umm Zakiyyah candidly responds to the boy's questions: Who is your God? If you do something bad, what happens? How has Islam shaped your life? Are there things you don't understand about your religion? What do you think of Jesus and Christianity? Why do Muslim women wear burqas?

      My God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He is the Creator, Owner, and Manager of all that exists, from what we see and from what we don’t see, from what we know and from what we don’t know.

I worship Allah because He alone has the ability to hear and answer prayers and reward worship in this world and in the Hereafter.
