PROPHET MUHAMMAD AS A TEACHER
Author: S. Dawood Shah
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781006067143
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Muhammad(PBUH) was chosen for the subject of this book as he is considered a great teacher of mankind with one fourth of the world population following his teaching. An orphan and an illiterate, who taught mankind to worship the only one God, lead an honest and upright life as per the laws and commands of God, reminding mankind that the real life is in the hereafter for which men have to work with diligence in this world. He revolutionized the life and attitude of the Arabs who were then living in the shackles of ignorance and barbarianism and developed a great civilization which ruled the world for more than a thousand years. He realized that the essential tool to spread the message of God is literacy and its development and that which he encouraged by words and deeds which forms the main themes of this study. The main sources of our study on Prophet Muhammad as a teacher are the Qur'an, the Hadith literature (Sayings and Doings of Prophet Muhammad) and various books on the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad. As for as Jesus is concerned Dillon's book has been taken as an axiomatic point of departure: and, only when materials corresponding to certain significant aspects of Jesus as a teacher had not been available in Dillon's book other books on the life and teachings of Jesus were used for reference. No attempt has been made to re-examine the propositions about Jesus that Dillon had settled upon. Our comparison of the two is for clarification and better understanding of the subject and not to find who is superior between them.

In the Footsteps of the Prophet
Author: Tariq Ramadan
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199705461
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
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. In the Footsteps of the Prophet 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.
