This booklet sheds light on nine basic features of the two main sources of Islamic teachings (the Qur’an and the narrations of Prophet Muhammad). It includes a focused discussion on the Islamic moral system, which calls for preserving human rights and strengthening the relationships among humans. It shows how these teachings call upon us to improve ourselves, both inwardly and outwardly, from eighteen different aspects. It should be noted that these moral teachings were revealed from Allah; they are not the result of human work or experiences.

What drives them to learn about Islam
Indonesia is the country with the largest number of Muslims, with more than 250 million citizens, out of which Muslims comprise 87% of the population. Islam entered Indonesia in the sixth century AH by virtue of the good morals of Muslim traders. Not a single army reached there; in fact, Indonesia only experienced bloodshed after the arrival of the Portuguese and Dutch armies, followed by English colonialists. Muslims have remained firm upon their religion through the centuries because they embraced it by choice and conviction. In Indonesia today, there are thousands of Islamic institutes in which tens and thousands of male and female students study.

Misconceptions and Refutations
In the Arabic original, the author gives his book the title Sabighat, borrowing the Quranic description of the coats of mail Prophet David used to make for his soldiers. In its linguistic sense, the word means ‘of good length, full covering, etc.’ The implied sense is that those coats gave proper protection. Hence, the reference in this forwards to the coats of mail as giving protection against misconception.
