In an age where faith and modernity often seem at odds, Living with Faith offers a clear, insightful, and practical guide to navigating contemporary challenges as a Muslim. Spanning eight chapters and structured around 100 essential questions, this powerful book provides accessible, authentic, and thoughtful answers grounded in traditional Islamic scholarship-yet fully attuned to today's world.
Chapter 1: Belief and Theology
This foundational chapter tackles Islam's core tenets-Tawhid, prophethood, the Hereafter, angels, and the Shahada-while courageously addressing modern dilemmas like atheism, free will vs. predestination, and reconciling faith with science. Dr. Chishti also unpacks sectarianism, interfaith dialogue, and the controversial question of who qualifies as a Muslim-all with scholarly clarity and compassion.
Chapter 2: Worship and Spiritual Practices
Here, readers discover the true purpose of prayer, fasting, and ritual worship in Islam. This chapter shines in addressing common yet rarely discussed issues like praying in space or during travel, combining prayers, digital Qur'an apps, fasting with chronic illness, and whether makeup or Western dress affects ablution and modesty. A practical must-read for every modern Muslim seeking balance between devotion and daily life.
Chapter 3: Ethics and Morality
How do Muslims uphold integrity, humility, and patience in a rapidly changing world? This chapter answers with depth and relevance. Covering backbiting, modesty, intention, emotional intelligence, and generosity, Dr. Chishti shows that Islamic ethics remain timeless-and powerfully relevant in tackling today's moral dilemmas.
Chapter 4: Marriage and Family Life
A comprehensive and realistic discussion on gender roles, polygamy, parenting, family planning, divorce, and raising children in secular societies. This chapter courageously navigates modern controversies while upholding Islamic values, offering both wisdom and compassion to today's families.
Chapter 5: Social Relations
This section empowers Muslims to build respectful, just, and compassionate relationships in a multicultural world. It clarifies the Islamic stance on interfaith engagement, opposite-gender friendships, workplace challenges, Islamophobia, and civic responsibility. A powerful guide to being both devout and socially conscious.
Chapter 6: Financial Matters
A must-read for every working Muslim, this chapter offers clear, practical insights on managing money Islamically-covering zakat, riba, working in banks, loans, credit cards, investing, and ethical business practices. It brings realism to religious finance, helping readers navigate their financial lives without guilt or confusion.
Chapter 7: Science, Technology, and Media
With clarity and boldness, this chapter explores Islam's response to modern technology: IVF, genetic engineering, medical ethics, entertainment, social media, and dating apps. Rather than issuing blanket verdicts, it offers a thoughtful, contextual approach to emerging issues, making it deeply relevant for young Muslims and professionals alike.
Chapter 8: Health and Wellbeing
This final chapter addresses vital topics like physical wellness, organ donation, halal medicine, addiction, and end-of-life care. With sensitivity and scholarship, Dr. Chishti highlights Islam's holistic view of health, compassion, and the sanctity of life-offering guidance that brings peace to both mind and soul.
Why This Book Matters
Living with Faith is not just a book of answers; it's a lifeline for Muslims who seek to live their faith authentically in the modern world. Written in a Q&A format for maximum accessibility, it is equally suited for new Muslims, young adults, families, and scholars.
