Download or read book Who Is Muhammad written by Michael Muhammad Knight and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining insights from the best published historical and religious studies scholarship, original research, and rich first-person perspective, this highly readable book offers a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the founder and central figure of the Islamic tradition: the prophet Muhammad. Narrating Muhammad's life story, teachings, and daily practices, and assessing how his legacy is received, interpreted, and applied around the world, Michael Muhammad Knight reveals how the prophet has become simultaneously one of the most beloved historical figures in the world and also one of the most contested, challenged, and disparaged. Knight argues that there was never a singular Muslim vision of Muhammad but rather always multiple perspectives. While Muslims defend Muhammad's legacy against Islamophobic polemics, they also challenge each other regarding the proper authorities through which Muhammad's life and message become comprehensible and applicable in our world. Thinking across time and place, Knight argues that Muhammad is always contextual and contemporary.

Download or read book The Life of Ibn anbal written by Abū al-Faraj ʻAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʻAlī Ibn al-Jawzī and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241 H/855 AD), renowned for his profound knowledge of hadiths—the reports of the Prophet’s sayings and deeds—is a major figure in the history of Islam. He was famous for living according to his own strict interpretation of the Prophetic model and for denying himself the most basic comforts, even though his family was prominent and his city, Baghdad, was then one of the wealthiest in the world. Ibn Hanbal’s piety and austerity made him a folk hero, especially after he resisted the attempts of two caliphs to force him to accept rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging is one of the most dramatic episodes of medieval Islamic history, and his principled resistance influenced the course of Islamic law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the caliphate. [This book] is a translation of the biography of Ibn Hanbal by the Baghdad preacher, scholar, and storyteller Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 597 H/1200 AD), newly abridged for a paperback readership by translator Michael Cooperson. Set against the background of fierce debates over the role of reason and the basis of legitimate government, it tells the formidable life tale of one of the most influential Muslims in history."--

Book excerpt: This, in your hands my dear brothers and sisters in faith, is the noble biography of the last and final messenger of Allah, Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul Muttalib ﷺ. This will be In-sha-Allah a humble addition to the long list of books on the Seerah (Biography) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.The speciality of this book however, in contrast to the other books authored and compiled on the same subject, in the English language, is that- I as the compiler here, have tried to collect and place only those narrations which were declared Sahih (authentic), Hasan (good and acceptable) or reliable, according to the scholars of Hadith. I have tried my best, to use the books by the scholars which underline and mention weak and unfound narrations oftenly quoted by the books of Seerah as well as the well-researched gradings done on the books of Hadith by the Muhaddithoon and Muhaqqiqoon (Hadith Research Scholars).Compiled majorly from the researches and authentication of Ahadith of the following Ulama:-Imam Ibn Katheer, Shaikh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani, Shaikh Shuaib Al-Arnauut, Dr.Muhammad As-Suyani, Dr.Mahdi Rizqullah Ahmad and Shaikh Muqbil bin Hadi Al-Wadi'ee , etc.

This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magnicent work not only highlights the various aspects of the life and character of the Holy Prophet (sa) founded on the Holy Qur’ān, Sunnat [Practice of the Holy Prophet(sa)] and the Aḥādīth [Sayings of the Holy Prophet(sa)] with references particularly from the six authentic books of Aḥādīth and history; rather, it presents the prominent events and episodes in the history of Islām with solid historical testimonies. Some prejudiced orientalists and historians have misrepresented various incidents from the history of Islām in an attempt to tarnish the character of the Holy Prophet(sa). Ḥazrat Mirzā Bashīr Aḥmad (ra) has refuted those allegations with convincing argumentation in this book. Moreover, in addition to a formidable rebuttal of the objections of orientalists, the current volume covers a detailed review of scholarly discussions such as equality in Islām, the acceptance of prayer, the treaty of Ḥudaibiyyah and the Holy Prophet’s letters to the leaders of various kingdoms and empires.
Download or read book Misquoting Muhammad written by Jonathan A.C. Brown and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INDEPENDENT BEST BOOKS ON RELIGION 2014 PICK Few things provoke controversy in the modern world like the religion brought by Prophet Muhammad. Modern media are replete with alarm over jihad, underage marriage and the threat of amputation or stoning under Shariah law. Sometimes rumor, sometimes based on fact and often misunderstood, the tenets of Islamic law and dogma were not set in the religion’s founding moments. They were developed, like in other world religions, over centuries by the clerical class of Muslim scholars. Misquoting Muhammad takes the reader back in time through Islamic civilization and traces how and why such controversies developed, offering an inside view into how key and controversial aspects of Islam took shape. From the protests of the Arab Spring to Istanbul at the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and from the ochre red walls of Delhi’s great mosques to the trade routes of the Indian Ocean world, Misquoting Muhammad lays out how Muslim intellectuals have sought to balance reason and revelation, weigh science and religion, and negotiate the eternal truths of scripture amid shifting values.
