About this book

Dawkins' The God Delusion has been described as a "hard-hitting rebuttal" of religion. Its persuasive rhetoric tends to captivate younger readers, who may lack the critical skills to fully assess the evidence presented. Even more seasoned readers, aware of the fragility of Dawkins' arguments, often struggle to articulate exactly why they are weak and delusory.
This book meticulously examines Dawkins' claims, revealing the tenuous foundations upon which they rest. Every argument from the original work is carefully scrutinized and exposed as, at best, a mixture of misinformation and misrepresentation, or at worst, irrational, self-contradictory, and self-defeating.
This book is a great lesson in critical thinking and will empower young readers to confidently question, analyze and critique similar rhetoric wherever they encounter it.
Excerpts

Read a little of the book.

A Critique of The God Delusion, p. iv

This book is not meant to offer proof of the existence of God. It is simply a critique of Richard Dawkins' book, The God Delusion. I started reading Dawkins' book in order to familiarize myself with the arguments of atheists. However, I found the arguments offered therein to be very weak and unable to withstand even the most rudimentary critical analysis.

A Critique of The God Delusion, p. v

Having said that, I bear no malice towards the author on the basis of his personal views. He has a right to believe what he wishes to believe and even to propagate those views, so long as those views are properly classified as opinions, rather than rational and scientific truths.

A Critique of The God Delusion, p. ix

This book is, of course, written from the perspective of a Muslim. However, it is valuable for believers belonging to all faiths since it examines atheist arguments against all conceptions of the Divine and against all religions, and shows that these arguments are either weak, self-defeating or illogical.
