suggest a good and easy reading for a new Muslim plz

Question

hi all,
a friend of mine came across a man who is really interested in accepting Islam.
that man was convinced on his own, but because the nature of his job requires him to travel most of the time, he can't really get in touch with Muslims to get information. so my friend asked me to send him an English translation of Quran.

but i thought it may be a good Idea to send him a printout of the basic things of Islam and how to become a Muslim.
I don't want to risk and give him advice on my own, cause i could be wrong, and im no scholar too. so if you know any good stuff i can print out and send to him, ill appreciate it. (in English please)

@Trolls:
stay away from my post or else...

A great book is Islam: The Summit of Religious Evolution

It explains how perfectly Islam fits into all other religions and how in truth, all other prophets taught exactly what Islam teaches.  Then, logically and step by step it shows how Islam is simply the perfect progression and perfection of all religions.  You can read it for free online or purchase it from the website.

Islam: Beliefs and Teachings

It's a very basic book that starts off with defining Islam and Muslim, then going through the 5 pillars of Islam, and the articles of faith, an overview of our Aqeedah (Tawhid, Risalah, and Akhirah), and eventually into Wudu and Salah, and so on. It's an excellent read for someone who does not know much about Islam.

You can buy it from here, and also take a look at some sample pages in the book: http://islamicbookstore.com/b2730.html

As for books the scholars recommend:

"The three fundamental principles" (Usool ath-Thalaatha)
"Kitaab at-Tawheed"
"The four principles" (Qawaa'id al Arba')

Which are books about the basic beliefs of Islaam

You can see them free at www.almuttaqoon.com or www.al-ibaanah.com

Why the Quran? Its a North American made book, I have given at least 3000 of them away. Al hamdoullah

For those who can see and allowed to see are those who understand warnings when they come! Al hamdoullah... prepair yourselves, we are going to have a rocky ride in the next couple of days!
