sont souvent sommés de se justifier sur ce que l'islam n'est pas. Cette initiation à l'islam a pour objectif d'introduire, de la façon la plus simple et la plus exacte, à l'islam, à ses principes, ses rituels, son histoire, sa diversité et son évolution, comme aux défis contemporains auxquels les musulmans font face. Didactique et accessible, cet essai n'a nulle visée apologétique, seulement informative. En retraçant l'histoire de l'islam, en expliquant ses références fondamentales, Tariq Ramadan présente un paysage fourni et détaillé de ce qu'il faut savoir sur l'islam : son Message, ses Textes, la vie de son Prophète, l'oeuvre de ses successeurs, le sens des mots islam, sharî'a et jihâd, les piliers de la foi, les règles sociales et spirituelles, etc. Sans perdre de vue les défis contemporains auxquels l'islam est confronté, il fait tomber préjugés et croyances infondées. L'ouvrage se complète d'un glossaire, d'un index et d'un abécédaire des idées reçues. 2015.Modern drugs can be miraculously life-saving, and many illnesses demand their use.

and determined clan, many of them doctors, they are struck one by one with an inscrutable illness. They finally discover the cause of the disease after a remarkable sequence of events that many saw as providential. Meanwhile, science, progressing for a half a century along a parallel track, had handed the Baxleys a resolution--not a cure, but a blood test that would reveal who had the gene for the disease and who did not. And science would offer another dilemma--fertility specialists had created a way to spare the children through an expensive process. 2017.By Russell Martin. 1987
