Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XII, 242 p. Einband leicht angeschmutzt, leichte Knick im Buchrücken, Seiten papierbedingt angegilbt, sonst ein gutes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Binding slightly soiled, slight crease in spine, pages yellowed due to paper, otherwise a good copy with no markings. - Tariq Ramadan is a leading Muslim scholar, with a large following especially among young European and American Muslims. In his first book written for a wide audience, he offers a biography of the Prophet Muhammad, highlighting the spiritual and ethical teachings of one of the most influential figures in human history. Ramadan provides both an intimate portrait of a man who was shy, kind, but determined, as well as a dramatic chronicle of a leader who launched a * great religion and inspired a vast empire. Underscoring the historical importance and meaning of Muhammad, The Messenger addresses the significance of the Prophet for some of today s most controversial issues, such as the treatment of the poor, the role of women, Islamic criminal punishments, war, racism, and relations with other religions. Selecting those facts and stories from which we can draw a profound and vivid spiritual picture, the author asks how can the Prophet s life remain - or become again - an example, a model, and an inspiration. And how can Muslims move from formalism - a fixation on ritual - toward a committed spiritual and social presence? In this engaging biography, Ramadan offers Muslims a new understanding of Muhammad s life and he introduces non-Muslims not only to the story of the Prophet, but to the riches of Islam. / Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1 Encounter with the Sacred 2 Birth and Education 3 Personality and Spiritual Quest 4 Revelation, Knowledge 5 The Message and Adversity 6 Resistance, Humility, and Exile 7 Trials, Elevation, and Hopes 8 Hijrah 9 Medina, Life, and War 10 Teachings and Defeat 11 Tricks and Treason 12 A Dream, Peace 13 Coming Home 14 At Home, Over There 15 Debtless In History, for Eternity Notes Index.
