FOURTEEN CENTURIES AGO, the final revelation descended upon Muhammad (PBUH). 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 (PBUH) and how can we develop certainty that he was the true messenger of God? In this book, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy shares the multitude of proof surrounding Muhammad’s prophethood. There are abundant comprehensive rational pathways that lead to this one certain Muhammad (PBUH) was indeed the final messenger of God to this world.
This is a really excellent summary of why Muslims believe in Islam, which manages to touch on quite a lot of topics (the character of Muhammad ﷺ, his accomplishments, his message, his prophecies and miracles, and the miracle of the Quran) very concisely.
I've been looking for a long time for a good book to recommend for non-Muslims who are interested in learning more about Islam, so I'm glad to have stumbled across this one. While it doesn't necessarily go through the fundamental principles of Islam per se, I think it's a lot more accessible and appealing to a modern reader than some of the other works that are often recommended.
I learned so much from this MA. I never realized what it said about Surah Abasa until now, even though I have read that Surah so many times before. That was just among the countless other things I learned.
