islam

This book is full of errorneous information about Mohammad and it's clear the author has purposefully falsified events. For example, he alleges Mohammad of marrying simply for wealth and beauty. He narrates that Mohammad said that man marries for four things, which are wealth, beauty, family status and belief and does not write the second part of the hadith which says that best is among you who marries for belief. Instead he says that money, beauty and family status were only his sole objectives. Mohammad, unlike Jesus is more than religous leader. He like other biblical prophets such as Moses, David and Soloman was political and military leader and he married for political alliance. But wealth or worldly status were not his objectives. In fact, when he started preaching Islam, the Meccans were extremely angry with him for abandoning worshipping idols and offered him all the wealth and women. Instead he persisted intolerable sufferings for 13 years in Mecca and many years in Medinah. This book should be avoided for any fair look into Mohammad's life.

Whether one believes in all the prophets of God or not, the same message was brought to Humanity time and again. This book has superbly shown parallels in prophet Jesus teachings with that of prophet Muhammed which again goes in-sync with the teachings of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Lot, Isaac, Ishmail, etc. in oneness of God and other basic teachings. Many of the readers will be surprised to know that there is Chapter in The Quran dedicated on Mary(Maryam the mother of Jesus) and she is considered one of the holiest women in Islamic teachings. Also in The Quran you will find - Jesus's name been quoted more than Muhammed's name. And we all have to ponder on what those teachings to know who we are and why we were sent on the Earth.....

I strongly encourage you to read the excerpt pages before buying this book. If you look carefully, you will find many opinions snuck in as fact. These opinions are always slanted toward the Muslim side. For example, it calls the difference between the Koran's account of Jesus' birth and the Bible's, "inspired." That is an opinion. This is not an objective comparision of the two religion's viewpoints. It is more positive toward the Muslim religion than the Christian one. That may or may not have been the author's intention, but it is there. You may want to consider this in deciding if this book is for you or not.
