Muhammad and the People of Book by Sahaja Carimokam asks the question, what was the nature of Muhammad’s relationship to non-Muslims, particularly Jews and Christians, and how did it change over time? This work is based on a chronological reading of the chapters of the Qur’an supplemented with Muslim commentary literature and biographical materials on the life of Muhammad. Carimokam traces Muhammad’s evolving religious viewpoint based on his borrowings of primarily Jewish and some Christian traditional/apocryphal materials. He shows how Muhammad’s inaccurate and anachronistic rendition of Jewish traditional literature ensured that the Jews would reject him as a Prophet. This rejection lead to his ultimatum to the Jews early in the Medinan period of the Qur’an and culminated with his call to Jihad against all non-Muslims, including those Jews and Christians who refused to acknowledge his Prophethood. The origins of takfir, declaring Muslims to be non-Muslims, are considered. Comparisons are made of moderate and traditional interpreters of the Qur’an. Historical-critical issues regarding the background provided by Muslim historical propaganda is considered in one chapter. The book concludes with a controversial issue for the interpretation of Islamic law in the 21st century based on the actual canonical practices of Muhammad.

The Christians that lived around the Arabian Peninsula during Muhammad’s lifetime are shrouded in mystery. Some of the stories of the Prophet’s interactions with them are based on legends and myths, while others are more authentic and plausible. But who exactly were these Christians? Why did Muhammad interact with them as he reportedly did? And what lessons can today’s Christians and Muslims learn from these encounters? Scholar Craig Considine, one of the most powerful global voices speaking in admiration of the prophet of Islam, provides answers to these questions. Through a careful study of works by historians and theologians, he highlights an idea central to Muhammad’s vision: an inclusive Ummah, or Muslim nation, rooted in citizenship rights, interfaith dialogue, and freedom of conscience, religion and speech. In this unprecedented sociological analysis of one of history’s most influential human beings, Considine offers groundbreaking insight that could redefine Christian and Muslim relations.

Including material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography--it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.

This book is concerned with the rationality and plausibility of the Muslim faith and the Qur'an, and in particular how they can be interrogated and understood through Western analytical philosophy. It also explores how Islam can successfully engage with the challenges posed by secular thinking. The Quran and the Secular Mind will be of interest to students and scholars of Islamic philosophy, philosophy of religion, Middle East studies, and political Islam.

What makes an American Catholic of Irish and Italian descent one of the leading global voices in admiration of Prophet Muhammad? In this overview of Muhammad's life and legacy, prominent scholar Craig Considine provides a sociological analysis of Muhammad's teachings and example. Considine shows how the Prophet embraced religious pluralism, envisioned a civic nation, stood for anti-racism, advocated for seeking knowledge, initiated women's rights, and followed the Golden Rule. Considine sheds light on the side of Prophet Muhammad that is often forgotten in mainstream depictions and media narratives. The Humanity of Muhammad is Considine's contribution to the growing body of literature on one of history's most important human beings.

The first English-language biography of Muhammad (571-632 A.D.), depicting the great prophet and founder of Islam, his life and achievements, and his enormous influence on the modern world.

All Praises and Thanks be to Allah and peace and salutations be upon the last and final Messenger Muhammad ﷺ.This small but beneficial work began as an assignment, attempted at training the third year students of The Taleem-ush-Shariah Department1 (Women), in translating and summarizing Arabic books.Initially, the third year students, of the batch 2018-19, were given a fifty four point short summary of the book in Arabic2, which they Alhamdulillah successfully completed in translating into the English language.I later referred to the original book and found it very beneficial for students of The Prophetic Seerah, thus I decided to summarize and translate all the unauthentic stories mentioned in the book and compile them so as to benefit a larger audience.The narrations mentioned in the Arabic text of the original book as authored by Shaikh Dr.Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Ushan were studied and summarized, and the accuracy of the summaries were cross checked in other English renderings of the famous books of Seerah3 and were finalised. Whilst mentioning who declared a narration weak or checked the authenticity, we tried not to bring the entire discussion presented in the original book. We only named the scholar(s), who criticised the narration and referenced the summarized ruling to their respective books of research. Sometimes I named the weak narrators when the discussion in the book was brief and at times I mentioned the alternative authentic story and their references as pointed out by Shaikh Dr.Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Ushan4 .5 At times I referenced some authentic narrations from myself when I thought it to be beneficial.I and the author as he mentioned in his introduction, do not claim that only these are the most unauthentic stories being spread. The reality of the matter is that there are numerous other unreliable narrations as the scholars have mentioned6.In the 'Appendix', we have added a handful of other stories which are false or very weak but are frequently heard in Islamic speeches and lectures, as we found it fit to use this booklet to alert and warn the readers of the weak and false narrations spread in the Ummah.We hope that this endeavour by us will be fruitful in enlightening the masses on being careful in studying the Prophet's biography ﷺ.May Allah accept this from us.-Abu Muaaz Mohammed MannaIslamic Studies teacher at The Islamic Education Center for Women (IEC)(R), Mangalore, India.
