Muhammed: Messenger of Peace and Tolerance

The author details meticulously, the life in the Arabian Peninsula that preceded the birth of the Prophet of Islam, to explain in detail the struggle of the Prophet and his followers to survive in the most hostile environment and among the most ruthless people, and the unfortunate events that followed the Holy Prophet’s demise, events that betrayed him and his message by the people closest to him during his lifetime, confiscating the estate of his only daughter, Fatima.

A chapter about his wives is included as well in addition to one about the Holy Qur’an and why it is called a miracle, and many sayings of the Prophet of Islam on various subject- matters have been included, too, giving you an idea about how Muhammed thought and what he preached.

Perhaps the most interesting contents of this book are two very important pacts which Muhammed signed, one with the Jews of Medina, and another with the Christians of Najran, Yemen. These pacts shed light on the Prophet’s tolerance and genuine desire for a peaceful coexistence between the Muslims on the one hand and followers of the Jewish and Christian faiths on the other.
