As-salamu alaykum.
I've recently converted to Islam after reading the sublime Qu'ran. My new brothers are helping me learn Arabic, but in the meantime: do any of you fine folks know of Islamic literature either written in English or those with fine translations?
Before you say The Satanic Verses, I have read it and enjoyed like all intellectual Muslims do.
Fi Amaan Allah.

If you're asking about contemporary IL, then you're better off without that trash propaganda. If you're looking for the classics, I suggest you first settle into the faith for a year or two until you have the basics out: your five pillars, ta'at, sunnan and the like.

As a man steeped in the history of Islam, Rushdie naturally realises the complicated and interesting history surrounding all religion. As a moderate Shia Muslim, I see no problem with it. Christianity has had to suffer much criticism in fiction and I whole heartedly support freedom of expression, the usage of the Qu'ran is no different. Allah and Muhammed are not injured by the word of men.
ass-i-wanna lick-cum to you too my brother!
