Question

Also are you familiar with the book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Islam" by Yahiya John Emerick? And if so, would you recommend it for non-muslim readers? May Allah reward you for your efforts!

Answer

We are based in South Africa.

We advise you refer to Shaykh Aasim of Montreal for your advice and guidance. A personal meeting between Shaykh Aasim and your friend will be more beneficial. We are not familiar with the enquired book.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
