Muhammad (Paperback)

Paperback. Twenty-six chapters. From the first word of the revelation to the love that sustains all worlds.Muhammad ibn Abdullah received the Quran over twenty-three years. He left no writings. His companions memorized the revelation, recorded his words, and preserved both. This book moves through that testimony - close to the Arabic, with attention to what the words mean, what range of meaning they carry, and what they would have sounded like to the first community to receive them.The chapters move through the Quran's central teachings: the unity of God, the Night of Power, prayer, righteousness, patience, trust, mercy, justice, intention, gratitude, knowledge, repentance, speech, fasting, community, the heart, remembrance, the prophets, wealth, and death. Each draws on both the Quran and the hadith - the sayings of the Prophet - including the foundational collection of Imam al-Nawawi.The Arabic is transliterated throughout. No prior knowledge is required.The teaching is not primarily about knowing. It is about being and doing."We sent you only as a mercy to all the worlds." (Q. 21:107) This item is printed on demand.
