Human Character and Behavior: An Islamic Perspective

Following the sacred course of Qur’anic invocations, Dr. Muhammad A. Hafeez elegantly portrays in Human Character and Behavior the mission of man as God’s trustee on earth. His book profoundly explicates God’s commands in managing human affairs and building a society based on truth and justice. It is an amazing guide through the Qur’an and the Sunnah of its prophet demonstrating that man’s prayers and acts of worship become aimless rituals if he does not follow the divine commands in perfecting his character and behavior in order to accomplish his mission as a bonafide trustee of God on earth.

Dr. Muhammad Abdul Hafeez, has extensively researched and studied Islam s theological, historical, and cultural dynamism, especially what God tells us in the Qur an and how His Messenger interpreted it. The author, originally from Pakistan, has lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for over 20 years, where he gained enlightening exposition of Islam from the study circles of the Qur an. He holds a master s degree in history as well as in chemical technology from the University of Panjab, Lahore, Pakistan, and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the City University, London, England. Hafeez lives in Liverpool, New York.
