<br/><br/> This is an excellent resource for both Muslims and non-Muslims. In Part One, the author succinctly summarises the life of Prophet Muhammad (r), using authentic reports from his Companions to paint a beautiful portrait of his qualities and characteristics. In addition, he examines and explains the basic pillars of faith and worship in Islam, and then goes on to discuss issues that are relevant to the Muslim nation today. Part Two brings together a wide selection of sound hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet (r). The author has carefully chosen these to cover a broad variety of topics, thus creating a useful reference that is easy to follow and comprehend. This book provides the reader with an academic perspective on Islam, which is supported by modern, eloquent translations of the original textual sources: the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (r). It is an excellent resource for both the casual and the academic reader.
