Angels are Crying by Mohammad Rehman is about Islam, an analysis of Islam’s true original message, and its lost absence in the 50 Islamic countries. The book starts with an overview of Islam, with reference to the relevant portions of the Quran. All salient features of this religion, the five pillars of Islam, and other events of historical interest are introduced, followed by an overview of the Quran, discussing the essential ideas contained in it. The path taken by this religion since its birth is analyzed next. The period from about 632 AD to the present is covered and the major changes that happened in history with its effects on the practice of this religion are described. The book ends with a study of Islam, as it is followed in about 50 Islamic countries of the world, with special attention paid to examining the present practice vis-a-vis the stipulations in the Quran.
Angels are Crying by Mohammad Rehman is a book with the potential to become controversial. I am not able to comment on the veracity or acceptability of the author’s findings, but all of them seem to be pointing to the need to incorporate corrections in the practice of Islam to make it more in line with the holy text. Especially at these times, when extremism in many forms is a threat to human society, interpretations like this will greatly help in initiating healthy discussions. Perhaps the closing sentence in this book reflects this sentiment better: “We are a people who can co-exist, who can learn from our faults and realize what is wrong with Islamic conduct today.”
