Fourteen centuries ago, the final revelation descended upon Muhammad ﷺ. This message, Islam, spread rapidly across Arabia to nearby lands, and across the world. Today, over a billion people believe in and follow his message. But who was Muhammad ﷺ and how can we develop certainty that he was the true messenger of God?
In this book, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy shares the multitude of proofs surrounding Muhammad’s ﷺ prophethood. There are abundant comprehensive rational pathways that lead to this one certain conclusion: Muhammad ﷺ was indeed the final messenger of God to this world.
What’s in the book: 1. Six powerful ways to prove the prophethood of the final messenger Muhammad ﷺ 2. Over 30 prophecies made by the final messenger Muhammad ﷺ that have been fulfilled 3. Detailed logical and rational arguments to utilize in presenting the message of Islam to others.
What turns a man in to a prophet? Miraculous characteristic? Remarkable personality? Boldness of leadership? Amazing predictions of time and age? Being generous or truthful even to the enemy? Simplest way of life? Bringing a nation from ignorance and darkness to light to commence a unforgettable civilization? What more can be put forward in the characteristic of a human soul that will be convincible to us without a shadow of a doubt of his prophethood? This mind-boggling book has a lot to speak in regards to a true prophet and all of the criteria mentioned above definitely match none other than the final prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Not living in the age of poetry or literature but science, logic boldly require compelling answer when claims to be a God sent prophet. Far away from 7th century even standing in the modern age who deserve to be a real prophet except Muhammad (peace be upon him). Yet most are unaware of how he truly was as a person, as a husband, a leader that the world has neve produced and it goes on with the commence of a bright nation of science, education, progressive with time not ignoring God consciousness in heart and after life. Thus the alteration of the long waited world from superstition was being born when he (peace be upon him) was chosen by God as the last prophet, the final prophet of the world. Wouldn't you then amaze to discover such prophet?
Not only Islamic world throughout the ages overwhelmingly praise this remarkable mind (peace be upon him) but in a global scale, political leader like Gandhi for instance, British orientalist like Stanley Lane-Pool or the writer George Bernard Shaw and it continues acknowledged the positive aspects of the final prophet and the examples he left behind for the whole of humanity to follow till the world exist inshaAllah. Wouldn't then the duty of a rational mind to quest such prominent figure of history in the right context? If you already gone through well penned biography of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) like "The sealed Nectar" also known as "Ar rahikul makhtum" Or "Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources" by Martin Lings, then you've probably unlocked the one side of the coin of the prophet's life. The other side at a glance you'd discover here in this profoundly written book.
"God combined in Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم the most illustrious qualities, as evidence that he was in fact authorized by the Divine. His character sparkled from every angle [...]he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls. On the basis of a Book, every letter of which has become law, he created a spiritual nationality which has blended together peoples of every tongue and of every race."
Peace be upon the one sent as a Mercy to the Worlds by the Lord of the Worlds.
Truly a special book that succinctly covers a wide range of proofs, arguments, and refutations in less than 250 pages. I would genuinely recommend this book to a person who knew little about Islam or even harboured some doubts or hostilities regarding it. It is also an equally important read for those who are already Muslim, to revitalise their love for the Prophet (SAW).
I really love this one! You can see how thorough and proper the research was, and I can't help but gave my utmost attention to every chapter in it - the explanations, the references are immaculate 👌
It's hard to pick a favourite chapter because I love all the chapters. Highly recommended!
From the perspective of a non-Muslim, this book provides historical facts and logical arguments that many historians have approved, leading to the conclusion that Muhammad (PBUH) was a prophet. It's a very good book to start a journey toward knowing Muhammad (PBUH).
In my perspective, as someone who has been a Muslim from birth and has learned Islamic teachings throughout my life at school, the book is very interesting because it strengthens my existing beliefs. Generally, Islamic education starts from the Quran being the absolute truth and builds on that foundation, providing arguments to support this truth. Going from what Allah said : "Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is Allah’s Messenger, and the Seal of the prophets. And Allah knows everything." to studying his life and learning that he is indeed a prophet and the final messenger, and the more you learn about it the closer you are to the religion.
What is particularly interesting about the book is that it takes a different approach in its reasoning. It starts with undeniable facts and then concludes by adding a verse from the Quran that supports the same point. This method not only makes the book meant for Muslims and non-Muslims, but strengthens our faith as believers and brings us closer to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but also makes us realize the perfection of the religion, as everything makes sense no matter how or from what perspective you see it.
Allah praise is due to Allah ﷻ , the creator of the heavens and the earth and peace and blessings upon His servant and Messenger Muhammad ﷺ.
I found this incredible work to be exceptionally insightful , thoroughly conceived, well referenced and thought provoking. Even as a Muslim who has known about many of the evidences, Hadiths and verses referenced in this work - I found the comprehensive and intellectual nature to be refreshing and thoroughly convincing. I honestly think that every young Muslim , especially in the west , should read this work and familiarize himself with its contents as a defense against baseless doubts and skepticism commonly encountered in western discourse regarding the prophethood of our beloved messenger ﷺ.
May Allah ﷻ reward the shaykh abundantly for this remarkable and necessary work and make it a proof for him on the day of judgement.
The book in itself is excellent and has countless arguments for why the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the final prophet. However I feel like many aspects were quite repetitive and the testaments coming from non Muslims did not wholly appeal to me. However I can see this book resonating with non Muslims who might be interested in Islam as it addresses various aspects of the Prophet's (pbuh) life in an objective manner.
Quite an enlightening read. It covers a wide range of topics, from miracles performed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the Qur'an's linguistic miracle, among other things.
I learnt about many things I wasn't aware of before. For example, 62% of the words from the collection of the sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Sahih al Bukhari, were not found in the Qur'an and 83% of Qur'anic terms do not exist in the Hadith, it being impossible for someone to maintain such a strict policy in their language through their whole life-time.
