Muhammad a prophet for our time

Synopsis

"As a paradigmatic personality, Muhammad has important lessons, not only for Muslims but also for Western people. His life was a jihad; as we shall see, this word does not mean 'holy war,' it means 'struggle.' Muhammad literally sweated with the effort to bring peace to war-torn Arabia, and we need people who are prepared to do this today. His life was a tireless campaign against greed, injustice, and arrogance. He realized that Arabia was at a turning point and that the old way of thinking would no longer suffice, so he wore himself out in the creative effort to evolve an entirely new solution." Book jacket.
