The Prophet Muhammad: Islam and the Divine Message: World of Islam
Autor Dr Stephen Burgeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2020
Prophets serve as intermediaries between the human and divine worlds, granting them a special status in history across diverse religions and cultures. For Muslims, the Prophet Muhammad (570-632 CE) represents the culmination of the line of monotheistic prophets, including Abraham, Moses and Jesus. In his own lifetime, Muhammad overcame opposition and brought reforms, firmly establishing a thriving community of believers which would become a major world civilisation. Today, the Prophet's life and actions continue to inspire the Muslims worldwide.
The Prophet Muhammad presents an illuminating portrait of Muhammad in his capacity as God's messenger and an exemplary figure to Muslims. Revealing the challenges and triumphs of prophecy, Stephen Burge examines how prophets have inspired faith communities' relationship with the Divine, and one another. In doing so, this engaging account elucidates the enduring influence of prophecy and the profound legacy of the Prophet Muhammad.

Recenzii
'Thoroughly interesting. A novel, vivid approach, both learned and
imaginative, The Prophet Muhammad explores faith and feeling
through literature, myth and psychology as well as traditional
scholarship and Muslim challenges to tradition, with the bonus of
illustrations that take us on a world tour of lived Islam. All readers
will be enriched by Burge's discussion of prophethood and surprised
by its renewed relevance today.'
'This book is one of the best introductions to the life of Muhammad
as a religious figure. Wonderfully written, The Prophet Muhammad
offers a measured and moving account of Muhammad's role as the
prophet of Islam, bringing to life the latest scholarship on the topic.
This unique and compelling read is a welcome addition to the array
of literature on Muhammad and prophecy in Islam.'
'This book explores who Muhammad was and why he remains
a revered figure and model for imitation around the world today.
Burge subtly pinpoints Muhammad's distinctiveness within the
Semitic prophetic tradition, looking at his teachings and the
movement he started, showing precisely why the 7th-century
Arabian prophet remains critically important for both Muslims and
non-Muslims alike.'
This book is a valuable addition to the field of Sirah. It sheds new light on the life of Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him). It is a must-read for the promotion of interfaith dialogue to counter the current menace of religious extremism and exclusivism. It is equally worth recommending to students and scholars of Islamic Studies, Comparative Religion and other related disciplines.
