The All-Embracing Message of Islam reflects a glimpse of the message of all prophets, from Adam till Muhammad, clarifying that its nature is mercy, its aim is morality, and its purpose is happiness of people in this world and the one after. This compelling insight emphasizes that the context of interpretation and practice of this message should be its nature, aim, and purpose. It also pointed out that the Prophet Muhammad was sent as the exemplar of this message to all humanity to renounce religious fanaticism and enjoy compassion, love, and peaceful coexistence, which are most welcome in todays turbulent world.
Islam, in its entirety, was revealed to Prophet Muhammad and is unchanged; the Muslims on the other hand, have changed. If a Muslim makes a mistake, it does not mean that Islam concurs with his action. To make this clearer: if a person has a comprehensive guide to build a dismantled vehicle, and he fails to follow the manual and thus assembles it incorrectly... does this mean that the manual is incorrect? I ask the reader of this booklet to read it without preconceived notions about Islam, and that his goal should be to reach the truth, not to search for faults. Furthermore, do not be misled by your emotions.

THE FAITH OF ISLAM: (MOHAMMED) Original Author: Edward Sell (Edited/Added and Translated by M. MeenachiSundaram) TABLE OF CONTENTS THE FAITH OF ISLÁM... 4 CHAPTER I: THE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLÁM. 4 CHAPTER II: EXEGESIS OF THE QURÁN AND THE TRADITIONS. 33 CHAPTER III: THE SECTS OF ISLÁM. 63 CHAPTER IV: THE CREED OF ISLÁM. 100 CHAPTER V: THE PRACTICAL DUTIES OF ISLÁM. 159 ABOUT THE AUTHOR. 225 THE FAITH OF ISLÁM CHAPTER I: THE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLÁM. The creed of Islám, "Lá-iláha-il-lal-láhu wa Muhammad-ur-Rasúl-Ulláh," (There is no deity but God, and Muhammad is the Apostle of God) is very short, but the system itself is a very dogmatic one. Such statements as: "The Qurán is an all-embracing and sufficient code, regulating everything," "The Qurán contains the entire code of Islám—that is, it is not a book of religious precepts merely, but it governs all that a Muslim does," "The Qurán contains the whole religion of Muhammad," "The Qurán which contains the whole Gospel of Islám" are not simply misleading, they are erroneous. So far from the Qurán alone being the sole rule of faith and practice to Muslims, there is not one single sect amongst them whose faith and practice is based on it alone. No one among them disputes its authority or casts any doubt upon its genuineness. Its voice is supreme in all that it concerns, but its exegesis, the whole system of legal jurisprudence and of theological science, is largely founded on the Traditions. Amongst the orthodox Musalmáns, the foundations of the Faith are four in number, the Qurán, Sunnat, Ijmá' and Qíás. The fact that all the sects do not agree with the orthodox—the Sunnís—in this matter illustrates another important fact in Islám—the want of unity amongst its followers. 1. The Qurán.—The question of the inspiration will be fully discussed, and an account of the laws of the exegesis of the Qurán will be given in the next chapter. It is sufficient now to state that this book is held in the highest veneration by Muslims of every sect. When being read it is kept on a stand elevated above the floor, and no one must read or touch it without first making a legal ablution. It is not translated unless there is the most urgent necessity, and even then the Arabic text is printed with the translation. It is said that God chose the sacred month of Ramazán in which to give all the revelations which in the form of books have been vouchsafed to mankind. Thus on the first night of that month the books of Abraham came down from heaven; on the sixth the books of Moses; on the thirteenth the Injíl, or Gospel, and on the twenty-seventh the Qurán. On that night, the Laylut-ul-Qadr, or "night of power," the whole Qurán is said to have descended to the lowest of the seven heavens, from whence it was brought piecemeal to Muhammad as occasion required. "Verily we have caused it (the Qurán) to descend on the night of power." (Súra xcvii. 1.) That night is called the blessed night, the night better than a thousand months, the night when angels came down by the permission of their Lord, the night which bringeth peace and blessings till the rosy dawn. Twice on that night in the solitude of the cave of Hira the voice called, twice though pressed sore "as if a fearful weight had been laid upon him," the prophet struggled against its influence. The third time he heard the words:— "Recite thou, in the name of thy Lord who created— Created man from clots of blood." (Súra xcvi. 5.) "When the voice had ceased to speak, telling how from minutest beginnings man had been called into existence, and lifted up by understanding and knowledge of the Lord, who is most beneficent, and who by the pen had revealed that which man did not know, Muhammad woke up from his trance and felt as if "a book had been written in his heart." He was much alarmed. Tradition records that he went hastily to his wife and said—"O Khadíja! what has happened to me!" He lay down and she watched by him. When he recovered from his paroxysm, he said "O Khadíja! he of whom one would not have believed (i.e., himself) has become either a soothsayer (káhin) or mad." She replied, "God is my protection, O Ab-ul-kásim. He will surely not let such a thing happen unto thee, for thou speakest the truth, dost not return evil for evil, keepest faith, art of a good life and art kind to thy relatives and friends, and neither art thou a talker abroad in the bazaars. What has befallen thee? Hast thou seen aught terrible?" Muhammad replied "Yes." And he told her what he had seen. Whereupon she answered and said:—"Rejoice, O dear husband and be of good cheer. He in whose hands stands Khadíja's life, is my witness that thou wilt be the Prophet of this people." The next Súra, the 74th, was revealed at Mecca, after which there seems to have been an intermission, called the Fatrah. It was during this time that the Prophet gained some knowledge of the contents of the Jewish and the Christian Scriptures.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful "And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone). I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures). Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong. And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a portion of torment like to the evil portion of torment (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on!. Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Oneness Islamic Monotheism) from their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment)." (Surah Adh-Dhdriyat, 51: 56-60) Islam is the religion that Allah has chosen for mankind. It is a way of life that affects every aspect of man's life, the social, the political, the economic, etc. Islam has a solution to every problem regardless of its nature and gravity. It is a Divine message, which Allah chose Muhammad (S) to convey to mankind. Islam considers all forms of life as sacred. In this book we have tried to convey the basic rules and regulations concerning Islam.
Messages inspired by Muhammad introduce the West to the truth of Islam. Muslims are in a constant state of repentence and in linving the best way they can. Suicide and agression in any form are forbidden. Love each other. Honor people of all religions, the Prophet said. This is a time of peace, a time of coming together. Informative for adults of all ages.

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.
