Book Description
It's All About Muhammad is a detailed and very readable biography of the creator of Islam based primarily on the original sources of Islam--the canonical works that form the foundation for Muslim beliefs. It is also illustrated, with 25 black and white drawings inspired by the original literature.The author studied 20,000 pages of these documents and concluded from the extreme violence of Muhammad--as documented in the original literature--that he was a psychopath. Burleigh asks, "What other word can be used for a man who once presided over the beheading of up to 900 men and boys because they refused to accept him as their prophet?"Muslims down through the last 14 centuries have been indoctrinated into the belief that God talked to Muhammad, but the evidence of their own literature is that he suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy, the same disease Dostoevsky suffered from. (In his writing, Dostoevsky commented about Muhammad's epilepsy.) The ecstatic moments of the epileptic experiences led Muhammad to believe he was in communion with God. He attributed the words of the Koran to God, though an objective reading of the Koran reveals it as the product of an extremely angry and disturbed mind.This book is not an argument that Islam is evil because it is a reflection of the evil of its creator. It's All About Muhammad is a presentation of what is in the source material, told by a gifted storyteller who uncovered the telling anecdotes and the revealing quotes. Burleigh drew his own conclusion: Muslims do what they do because of Muhammad's example, hence the title: It's All About Muhammad. But it is up to readers to examine what is in the book and reach their own conclusion.

Acclaimed worldwide as the definitive biography of the Prophet Muhammad in the English language, Martin Lings' Muhammad: His Life Based to the Earliest Sources is unlike any other.

Muhammad and the People of the Book
Author: Sahaja Carimokam
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453537856
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 567
Book Description
Muhammad and the People of Book by Sahaja Carimokam asks the question, what was the nature of Muhammad’s relationship to non-Muslims, particularly Jews and Christians, and how did it change over time? This work is based on a chronological reading of the chapters of the Qur’an supplemented with Muslim commentary literature and biographical materials on the life of Muhammad. Carimokam traces Muhammad’s evolving religious viewpoint based on his borrowings of primarily Jewish and some Christian traditional/apocryphal materials. He shows how Muhammad’s inaccurate and anachronistic rendition of Jewish traditional literature ensured that the Jews would reject him as a Prophet. This rejection lead to his ultimatum to the Jews early in the Medinan period of the Qur’an and culminated with his call to Jihad against all non-Muslims, including those Jews and Christians who refused to acknowledge his Prophethood. The origins of takfir, declaring Muslims to be non-Muslims, are considered. Comparisons are made of moderate and traditional interpreters of the Qur’an. Historical-critical issues regarding the background provided by Muslim historical propaganda is considered in one chapter. The book concludes with a controversial issue for the interpretation of Islamic law in the 21st century based on the actual canonical practices of Muhammad.

Muhammad
Author: Juan Cole
Publisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568587821
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
In the midst of the dramatic seventh-century war between two empires, Muhammad was a spiritual seeker in search of community and sanctuary. Many observers stereotype Islam and its scripture as inherently extreme or violent-a narrative that has overshadowed the truth of its roots. In this masterfully told account, preeminent Middle East expert Juan Cole takes us back to Islam's-and the Prophet Muhammad's-origin story. Cole shows how Muhammad came of age in an era of unparalleled violence. The eastern Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire of Iran fought savagely throughout the Near East and Asia Minor. Muhammad's profound distress at the carnage of his times led him to envision an alternative movement, one firmly grounded in peace. The religion Muhammad founded, Islam, spread widely during his lifetime, relying on soft power instead of military might, and sought armistices even when militarily attacked. Cole sheds light on this forgotten history, reminding us that in the Qur'an, the legacy of that spiritual message endures. A vibrant history that brings to life the fascinating and complex world of the Prophet, Muhammad is the story of how peace is the rule and not the exception for one of the world's most practiced religions.
