This guide was written particularly for young Muslims, urging them to become familiar with their religion and to gain an understanding of the modern world from the Islamic point of view, in order to respond positively to challenges. Nasr presents an exposition of the teachings of Islam, as revealed in the Qur'an, explained in the "Hadith" and "Sunna" of the Prophet Muhammad (Praise His Name) and commented upon by Muslim scholars and thinkers. He also outlines the Western religious and intellectual tradition. The work goes on to challenge the youth of other religious traditions to become responsible and committed by recognizing the importance of their cultural identity. The author's publications include "Ideals and Realities of Islam", "Science and Civilisation in Islam", "Muhammad - Man of Allah" and "Traditional Islam in the Modern World".
