Book Reviews of In the Footsteps of the Prophet: Lessons from the Life of Muhammad
Book Review: A MUST read for those looking for a model to follow
Summary: 5 Stars
As Dr. Ramadan mentions, there are many books on the life of the prophet. However, what this book adds is the meaning, wisdom and lessons to be learned from the events in the life of the prophet. It is an easy to read book, easy to follow and is extremely engaging.
In a world where people are starved for a model to follow that is full of love, mercy and forgiveness, yet firm when it comes to the core message, this book presents this model clearly. The ideal character of a leader, a father, a husband, a friend is demonstrated in this book. It teaches the balance in life between work, family and spiritual demands. This book even explains to the reader the importance of taking care of your body; being an instrument on loan to us from God to us through this life. I cannot numerate the excellent moral lessons I leanred from this book.
Regardless of ones religion, this is a good book to read, understand and follow.
Summary of In the Footsteps of the Prophet: Lessons from the Life of Muhammad
Named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most important innovators of the century, Tariq Ramadan is a leading Muslim scholar, with a large following especially among young European and American Muslims. Now, in his first book written for a wide audience, he offers a marvelous biography of the Prophet Muhammad, one that highlights the spiritual and ethical teachings of one of the most influential figures in human history.Here is a fresh and perceptive look at Muhammad, capturing a life that was often eventful, gripping, and highly charged. Ramadan provides both an intimate portrait of a man who was shy, kind, but determined, as well as a dramatic chronicle of a leader who launched a great religion and inspired a vast empire. More important, Ramadan presents the main events of the Prophet's life in a way that highlights his spiritual and ethical teachings. The book underscores the significance of the Prophet's example for some of today's most controversial issues, such as the treatment of the poor, the role of women, Islamic criminal punishments, war, racism, and relations with other religions. Selecting those facts and stories from which we can draw a profound and vivid spiritual picture, the author asks how can the Prophet's life remain -- or become again -- an example, a model, and an inspiration? And how can Muslims move from formalism -- a fixation on ritual -- toward a committed spiritual and social presence?
In this thoughtful and engaging biography, Ramadan offers Muslims a new understanding of Muhammad's life and he introduces non-Muslims not just to the story of the Prophet, but to the spiritual and ethical riches of Islam.
