Muslims in the Modern World Series

Dr Hany El Banna - A Servant to the World's Poorest People.

 Reader's reviews:

‘This book is remarkable because it’s about a remarkable man doing remarkable work; a portrait of a much-loved twenty-first century Muslim leader – Dr Hanny El Banna.
The story of setting up Islamic relief is moving and instructional; moving because a student in a new country is anxious to relieve others sufferings, and instructional because from humble beginnings a large multinational charity was born…Twenty-five years of planning, tireless work, sleepless nights, heartaches, stories of courage, self-sacrifice, profound love for humanity, in war zone, in deserts, and refugee camps make this small volume a real page-turner.
The language is simple, style engaging and the presentation is colourful and appealing, all Islamic terms are defined either in the text or in the glossary. The use of boxes instead of footnotes is a good way of presenting subsidiary but relevant information.
The summary at the end shows the events in the life of Dr El Banna, this gives the reader a quick birds-eye view of this genius charity worker. The text is tastefully peppered and reinforced with photos of Dr El Banna doing his humanitarian work in the field. The use of maps to show the places where he worked is very educational…These features make the book ideal for parents and teachers to use for nurturing altruism and leadership in the next generation.
This book is a compulsory read for all interested in the business of serving humanity and pleasing their Lord.’

‘This book is a valuable resource for humanities and Religious Education teachers as it discusses genuine examples of war, poverty, charity, marriage and struggle within the life of this exceptional man. Pupils will find it inspirational, surprising and readable. Moreover, teachers will discover that there are many chapters of the book which can be used to teach a vast number of the topics studied at GCSE especially from the point of view of Islamic belief. This book is a positive and modern example of Islamic faith in action and as such fills a much felt void.’
