About this book

About this Islam mythology guide

The unseen world of Islam: the jinn of smokeless fire, the angels who record every deed, and the signs of the Last Hour, drawn from the Quran and the Hadith.

Islam describes a world layered with the unseen. Beside the human world runs another, made of beings of fire and light: the jinn who live and die and believe and rebel, the angels who carry the throne and write down every word, and Iblis, who refused a single command and became the whisperer. Behind it all stands the certainty of the Last Hour and its signs.

This book is a clear guide to that unseen world (al-ghayb). Eleven chapters cover the angels and their tasks, the creation of Adam and the refusal of Iblis, the nature and ranks of the jinn, the prophets and their signs, the Night Journey and the Ascension, Khidr and the hidden wisdom, and the events of the end. Every chapter is grounded in the Quran and the Hadith.

Delivered as a print-quality PDF within 24 hours of purchase.

Questions about the Islam mythology book

When will I receive my PDF?

Within 24 hours of purchase. Your download link arrives in your inbox automatically.

Is this book respectful of Islam?

Yes. It is descriptive, not polemical. It explains what the Islamic tradition says about the unseen world, drawing on the Quran and the Hadith, and it contains no image of the Prophet or of God, in keeping with Islamic aniconism. The word 'mythology' is used in its academic sense: the study of sacred narratives and unseen beings.

Is this book based on primary sources?

Yes. It cites the Quran, the major Hadith collections (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim), the Qisas al-Anbiya (Stories of the Prophets) of al-Kisa'i and al-Tha'labi, and the classical works on the angels and the jinn, with references to the standard translations.

How long is the book?

Eleven chapters, around 160 pages depending on the final layout. Designed to be read in evenings or in one long sitting.

Is this book for beginners or specialists?

Beginners welcome. The book explains every name, place, and concept from scratch. Specialists will find the source citations useful for further reading.

Will there be a paperback on Amazon?

The PDF is available immediately. A KDP paperback edition follows once the book has been validated by readers.

What formats is this book available in?

Every title is available as an instant PDF, downloaded the moment you buy it: the link appears on the confirmation page and lands in your inbox. Selected titles also have a paperback edition on Amazon. Where the paperback is not out yet, you can sign up to be notified the day it does.

What is the return policy?

The PDF is delivered instantly by Mythologis. If a download ever fails or a file looks wrong, get in touch and we will make it right. Paperbacks bought on Amazon are handled under Amazon's own returns and refund policy.
