DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Portraits from the Life of the Prophet" offers a captivating glimpse into the extraordinary life and character of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. For almost fourteen centuries, his name has stirred the hearts of millions, and this book beautifully encapsulates his resplendent legacy. In a world once clouded by misunderstanding and bias, this book stands as a beacon of enlightenment. It showcases the unwavering respect and admiration expressed by thinkers, philosophers, and scholars from diverse backgrounds who have recognized the greatness of Prophet Muhammad. Annie Besant, in "The Life and Teachings of Muhammad," hails him as a "mighty Prophet" whose teachings inspire reverence. W. Montgomery, in his writings, finds in him a man of integrity, and his readiness to endure persecution for his beliefs only underscores his authenticity. Yet, despite these accolades, the Western world has struggled to fully comprehend the brilliance of Prophet Muhammad's message. Misunderstandings persist, and it falls upon conscientious Muslims and their fair-minded non-Muslim friends to bridge the gaps through dialogue, communication, and informative publications. This book, "Portraits from the Life of the Prophet," invites readers to explore the life of this noble Prophet, providing a platform for interfaith dialogue and promoting the universal good that Islam and its teachings seek for all of humanity. As the world grows smaller, we must build bridges of understanding and harmony with our non-Muslim neighbors, emphasizing that Islam, through its Prophet, heralds blessings for the entire human race. In presenting this insightful treatise, we hope to foster mutual respect and appreciation among all readers. May Almighty Allah accept this effort as a sincere act performed solely for His sake, and may it serve as a source of enlightenment and inspiration for all who engage with it. Amen.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In Islam, two sources are used to explain the religion and its laws: the Qur'an, a revered text, and the hadith, the sayings and activities of the Prophet Muhammad as reported by friends and followers during his lifetime. This skilled translation, which includes the Arabic of one of the key Islamic texts, long-awaited in English, presents a fascinating selection of hadith compiled by the ninth-century scholar at-Tirmidhi that humanizes the Prophet for modern audiences, presenting him through the eyes of contemporaries who comment not only on his spiritual demeanor and qualities but also on his physical appearance and mannerisms--including his hairdressing, his sitting posture, his sandals and turban, his armor, his favorite condiments, and his jests and laughter. Summary This new edition of the Sham 'il translated by Muhtar Holland, published by Fons Vitae Press is a welcome addition to the classic works of the world's spiritual traditions. The work represents a continuation of a textual tradition reaching back over a thousand years. This translation provides us at the same time with a window opening onto the roots of the spiritual tradition of Islam itself, a tradition that perceived spirituality as a process of transformation in the individual that was integrally linked to one's adherence, both inwardly and outwardly, to the example of the Prophet Muhammad. This implied that the degree to which one was participating in the Prophetic model was the degree to which one was considered to be participating in Islamic spirituality itself. The present translation also provides meaningful material for responding to the urgent need to revisit and re-evaluate what Islamic spirituality actually entails. This is as important for Muslims today as it is for other faith traditions. Access to original texts serve this purpose better than any third person account or interpretative work. Finally, this work as a portrait of a prophet in all its intimacy and detail, compiled by a venerated master of the hadith tradition, is a timeless testimony to the aspirations of all those who would seek to follow the spiritual life. A Portrait of the Prophet as Seen by His Contemporaries offers to the specialist and general reader alike access to this treasure of prophetic lore that has enlivened the hearts and imaginations of Muslims throughout the world, from the first Islamic community until today. This works also offers anyone, seeking a deeper understanding of the human spirit, a lofty example - at once timeless and personal, of the potential of our individual human nature. The present translation would be a valuable addition to any university course dealing with Islamic spirituality, history, or literature, whether at the introductory or upper level. In a course dealing with the life and legacy of Muhammad I envisage it becoming a standard text. Many thanks to Muhtar Holland and Fons Vitae for the service they have rendered us all in the translation and publication of the Sham 'il of al-Tirmidh and making this priceless text available to an entirely new audience.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Compiled in the 14th century AD by a prominent Syrian scholar, the al-sira al-Nabawiyya of Ibn Kathir is a full examination in chronological order, of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Drawn from the earliest and most reliable Arabic sources, it offers, in this close English translation, the fullest available account of the historical circumstances and personalities most important in the founding of Islam. Ibn Kathir's work offers a fine example of Islamic scholarship; the quotations and anecdotes that constitute its core are evaluated in terms of the trustworthiness of their sources. Variant wordings that are related through differing lines of transmission are noted, and Ibn Kathir gives both his own assessments and those of the earliest Islamic authorities concerning the likely authenticity of these records. The comments and conversations, derived from ancient texts, that are quoted in this work constitute the basis of our knowledge of Islam during the lifetime of its founder.
