This book is not just for Muslims. Islam is in deep turmoil affecting all people and cultures around the world. Muslim countries Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran are engaged in military conflict with Western powers that field mostly Christian soldiers. Shia Iran is in proxy conflict with Sunni Saudi Arabia in Yemen. Muslim minority Rohingya in Burma face atrocities and ethnic cleansing at the hands of Buddhist majority in Burma. The Hindu nationalist party in India that won the recent national election is hostile to the 100 plus million Muslim minority. Terrorism and fraternal armed clashes are the norm in in Africa. Above all Islam was implicated in 9/11 attacks which continues to exact a heavy price on travel and commerce throughout the world.
Tis book is unique because in the long history of Islamic literature and civilization no atheistic work or movement ever materialized whereas in Christianity experimental observations of Galileo gave rise to Enlightenment and Age of Reason. As a consequence the past few centuries have witnessed an increasing distancing of beliefs in the Christian West. Atheism for Islam that delves deep in the Quran and scriptures can serve as the springboard for finally y liberating the Muslim mind.
Mot arguments against God's existence are original and unuque, Some other proffs can easily apply to other religions. A bonus of the book is the argument against the existence of soull that plays a central role in most religions. The book argues that the essence of a person is not an immaterial soul but his or her body. Further it demosntrates the key function of the soull, that of carrying his or her identity throughout their career, is pbetter erformed a by the material DNA molecule. The 75 to 100 trillion cells that constitute the same body throughout his or her existence is mediated by identical copies of of DNA as tat conception. Needless to say that ithis view of identity has a drmatic effect how life and death is perceived.

It is a very accessible review of Islam as a religion within the framework of the Muslim countries, Middle East and Africa. The author provides a solid understanding of as well as the challenges of the religion based on his own personal journey from his religious upbringing to becoming an atheist.
Robert E. Baensch, Editor, Publishing Research Quarterly
Dr. Naseem Jamali's Atheism for Islam addresses a significant gap in our political discourse. Despite a great many publications that attempt to frame the tsunami of state and sub-state conflicts of our world within the boundaries of economic conflict or Great Power rivalries, the fact remains that religion - Islam, Christianity, Judaism - provides the vocabulary and alleged justification for much of this chaos. For the layperson who thinks he knows what "religion" is and what it claims, Dr. Jamali's new book is an eye-opener. ..
His concluding observations - "Ethics without God and Islam" -are full of insights about what can be saved and what can be discarded from traditional religion, and points to the deeply held ethical values of what it means to be human.
