The Muslim Next Door
Sin is taken lightly by Muslims because they believe that man was born good. Committing a few mistakes were not really a big deal because Allah will forgive them by the good works they have done in their life.This idea of heaven and hell is very narrow because they believe that every person has two angels recording their good and bad deeds.

If the good deeds outweigh the bad deeds then the person will go to heaven; but if the bad deeds outweigh the good, that person will go to hell.

The Life You’ve Always Wanted: Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People
The life you’ve always wanted: Spiritual disciplines for ordinary people. Grand Rapids, MI.: Zondervan. This book primarily deals with issues related to spiritual growth.

Do Muslims condemn terrorist attacks and the killing of innocent people?
