Imam and the Atheist

Atheism is trending.
Social media has ushered in an era of hyper-individualism, where ethics change as frequently as Twitter’s top tags. Even though Islam is still the world’s fastest-growing religion, countless people refute their faith every day — citing Darwinism or the inexplicable suffering of the human spirit.
Inspired by true events, this book is a conversation between two men: a man whose nephew has lost his faith, and an Imam who sits at the heart of his community to set a moral and ethical compass. The imam is challenged by questions surrounding faith, and tries to aid the uncle in how best to provide guidance to his struggling nephew. What follows is an open and honest dialogue, which examines the most common philosophical arguments to make a case for the existence of God.
The author is exposed to atheism on a daily basis and this book is a timely contribution towards scholarly literature. It is an excellent resource for parents, teachers and mentors, as well as anyone whose faith is wavering.
