Muhammed

New Page

What causes Muslims to be violent? What spurs them to riot and murder over the silliest things? 

To understand Muslims, one must understand their prophet. This psychobiography seeks to unveil the mystery of Muhammad. 

Historians tell us he used to withdraw to a cave, spending days wrapped in his thoughts. He heard bells ringing and had ghostly visions. He thought he had become demon possessed, but his wife reassured him he had become a prophet. 

Convinced of his superior status, Muhammad was intolerant of those who rejected him, assassinated those who criticized him, raided, looted, and massacred entire populations. He reduced thousands to slavery, raped, and allowed his men to rape female captives. All of this, he did with a clear conscience and a sense of entitlement. 

He was magnanimous to those who admired him, but vengeful to those who did not. Not only he believed he was the most perfect human creation, but the universe's raison d'être. 

Muhammad was no ordinary man. This book ventures beyond the stories. Focusing on the why rather than the what, it unravels the mystique of the most influential and yet most enigmatic man in history. 

Islam is Muhammadanism. Muslims worship Muhammad. Allah is Muhammad’s alter ego. Only by understanding him can one know what makes them tick.  Understanding Muhammad, will end Islam.

Muhammed

Who was the historical Muhammad, and how do Muslims remember him—as a holy prophet, a cultural revolutionary, a military leader, or a spiritual mystic? Unending media coverage of extremist fanatics, the controversy over offensive cartoon depictions of Muhammad, and fatwas against journalists and authors are all hard to ignore and have prejudiced our Western perceptions of Muslims and their founder. This definitive biography of the founder of Islam by a leading Muslim-American scholar will reveal invaluable new insights, finally providing a fully three-dimensional portrait of Muhammad and the one billion people who follow him today.

Memories of Muhammad presents Muhammad as a lens through which to view both the genesis of Islamic religion and the grand sweep of Islamic history—right up to the hot button issues of the day, such as the spread of Islam, holy wars, the status of women, the significance of Jerusalem, and current tensions with Jews, Hindus, and Christians. It also provides a rare glimpse into how Muslims spiritually connect to God through their Prophet, in the mosque, in the home, and even in cyberspace.

This groundbreaking book offers the opportunity to move from telling Muhammad's story to talking about how different Muslims throughout Islamic history have both honored and contested Muhammad's legacy.
