Khalid Baig is a prolific writer and well known for his interesting articles on a variety of topics. His articles have been so well received and extensively read that the author decided to collate some of his works into a book. The book includes a broad range of topics that includes beliefs, Ibaadah, self-reformation, women, family, unity, democracy, education, politics, history, etc.

The author also takes a look at some contemporary Muslim concerns and issues from culture to value systems in order to put the metaphor of Islam back into life.

In the thirteenth section the author has texted most of the articles with quotations of the Noble Quraan. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this book is the choice of topics and the gentle plan of ideas that generate a mass of information to the reader.
