Tariq Ramadan has been called a "progressive voice within Islam". This book presents a view of Islam that is rarely seen in the West. The "Lessons from the Life of Muhammed" presented by Ramadan provide a face to Islam completely different than what we are bombarded with each evening on the news. Worth reading.
This was honest and included some historical details that others might not include from pre-islam years. It was excellent and I learned a lot even though I read other biographies of his before.
As nice and simple as the man himself (pbuh)

This book is a work of dawn
And you accompanied it, with your footsteps on the stairs,
Your mischievous, laughing, or sulky eyes.
You came to curl up in my arms.
I would then leave the screen th... (show all)rough which I was immered
In the infinite light of the Messenger's goodness and love,
To drown in the infinite warmth of your presence.
The Messenger taught me forgiveness, you offered me innocence.
May your path be bright, my daughter, and may He love you
Through your smiles and through your tears.
I love you.
To Muna Ali
An American encounter and a never-ending gift
Facing trials, accepting silences.
You have accompanied my thought and my questions,
And read and reread and rephrased, often better than I could ha... (show all)ve done.
Faithfulness of the heart and soul in the Light of the Most HIgh
In the footsteps of His Messenger.
I forget nothing.
To Claude Dabbak
To tell you here of my esteem and respect
For that deep modesty and constant humility.
Behind the translator, one senses deeply rich learning
And an immense gift offered to Western Muslims.... (show all)
Your name too often hides behind authors' works.
Our debt is immense, mine in particular.
In the name of us all, truly, from the bottom of my heart,
Thank you! - Publisher's editor
