Wa-Alaikum Assalam dear friend.\nThere may not be one book or source providing you everything in consolidated form as desired by you.\nThe most comprehensive and concise one is the Quran itself. One only needs to read, understand, comprehend and believe in it, definitely with the help of those knowing it better.\nBest is to attend periodical lectures like weekly Juma prayers in your close-by mosque etc. With the passage of time and your sincere devotion to learn the Truth you shall be blessed with understanding of the humanity and best of the brotherhood and peace.  \nMay Allah guide you, and all others like you, towards right path leading to peace, welfare and progress.\n\nJazak Allah-o-Khair.

Of course if I though Islam was the correct (or most correct) religion I would join it.  As it is, though, I cannot be separated from Christ.\nI very much want to learn more about Islam, and I am gradually and steadily learning about it.  \nI believe it is good to know how others think and what they believe.

You might perhaps check out a World Religion textbook.  I can suggest "World Religions" by Warren Matthews, but I'm really no expert.\n\nHope your have an enjoyable evening~

It is important to look at a variety of sources.  If you are wanting to study Hinduism, for example, it is very important that you not rely on just one book or website, because misinformation abounds about Hinduism (because a lot of the information is old and based on old colonial biases).  What is ideal is if you can read books by an adherent of the religion, AND by those who are NOT adherents of the religion.  This will help you get a balanced view.  There are some things about a religion that non-believers can not ever totally grasp, and that is why an insider's view is so valuable.  On the other hand, there are some things that an insider may not be willing to admit or not able to accept about his or her own religion.  So reading from both adherents and non-adherents might give you an idea of such issues.\n\nIf you can go to a place of worship, that is wonderful.  There is usually someone you can find there that will be happy to answer any questions you have about their religion.  Some religions of course see this as an opportunity to try to convert you.  But others will respect that you are just trying to learn, and do not generally seek converts, although they may welcome them.\n\nJust seeing the atmosphere in a place of worship can tell you a lot.  But of course, you must remember that one church/mosque/temple/synagogue/gurudwara, etc does not necessarily represent them all.\n\nI have been to 4 or 5 synagogues, and every one of them was unique and left different impressions on me.\n\nReading primary sources is extremely important.  By primary sources, I mean things like Holy Scriptures, prayer books, etc.  Usually a look at a Scripture will give you a pretty good idea, but not always.  There are a few cases where reading a holy Scripture of a religion may actually give you the WRONG idea about a religion.  Just as an example, if you are wanting to know about Christianity, you may naturally think a good place to start would be the Bible.  But the first things you read in the Bible actually have very little to do with Christianity, because they are about the Laws of Israel, the Temple of Jerusalem, etc.\n\nAnother example may be the Rig Veda.  This is often said to be the holiest Scripture of Hinduism, but reading it will tell you very little about most modern-day Hindus.  Most of the gods of the Rig Veda are not the most important Gods worshiped by Hindus today.  You could probably get a better idea of Hinduism by reading the Bhagavad Gita, which is actually not usually listed as one of the primary sacred texts.\n\nA great book about World Religions is by Huston Smith's "The World Religions."  It is a delight to read, and it really gets to the heart and soul of each religion that it deals with.
