5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended to friends and colleagues, August 3, 2002

By	Carmen (New York City) - See all my reviews

I am a social worker in NYC where we have a substantial Islamic population. Some of our cases involve members of the Islamic faith, many of whom are first or second generation Americans. This book has helped me better understand how their normally peaceful religion has been hijacked into what we see today, with a heavy discrimination against women and people outside the Islamic faith. According to this biography, Muhammad taught religious tolerance and respect for all God's creatures, and he held eminent respect for women, included them in important work and often consulted them. I enjoyed the book immensely, but more than this I found a deeper appreciation for one of the world religions that is so little understood here in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Work Delivered with an Eloquent Style, October 21, 2002

By	Ahmed Bursevi "spiritoflovewins" (Collierville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This masterpiece by Hajjah Amina Adil describes the life and prophecy of Muhammad (SAV) in its authentic form, with an extremely beautiful and eloquent style. Among others, the chapter on The Mi'raj of the Prophet Muhammad(SAV) that describes how He "ascended to the heavens on a stairway of precious gems beginning at al-Quds(Jerusalem) during his lifetime and in his pure physical form" particularly was a source of profound spiritual enlightenment for me.

Hajjah Amina Adil has given a wonderful gift to believers of the three main monotheistic faiths (Islam, Christianity and Judaism), and to those who have an interest in studying them. Furthermore, this publication is a real life example of how Muslim women have been helping people from all walks of life better understand traditional Islam. It is a must read for all who would like to gain an in-depth understanding of the life and prophecy of Muhammad(SAV).
