Islamic Belief and Ideology
W. Deen Mohammad wrote over 30 books, delivered over 2000 lectures at Universities, Masajid, Churches etc. Almost all of his over 2000 lectures, were archived in the Muslim Journal Newspaper and almost all of his audio discs and DVDs are available for purchase or study. His greatest wish was to complete a translation and tafsir (explanation) of the Qur'an, and to do a Commentary on the Bible. In an address which he delivered on September 10, 1978, in Atlanta, Georgia he expressed his desire to write a comparison of the Bible and the Qur'an and to work with educators in the Muslim community on a Social Science text book for all grade levels - kindergarten through high School.

Famous quotes containing the words belief and/or ideology:
“To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
“We must conclude that it is not only a particular political ideology that has failed, but the idea that men and women could ever define themselves in terms that exclude their spiritual needs.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
