Muhammad, the Messenger of Freedom

Author's name: Abdel Rahman Al-Sharqawi

In the introduction to the first edition of the book, Professor Abdul Rahman said: (I do not think that a new book I am writing can add a new truth to what has been written in the biography!! Rather, I wanted to portray the story of a man whose heart was open to the pains, problems and dreams of humanity, and whose teachings created a flourishing and fertile civilization that enriched the conscience of the entire world for centuries, and pushed generations of living beings on the path of progress, and discovered horizons of the nature of life and people.) This is part of the introduction. In another part, he says: We do not need a new book about religion, read only by Muslims, but we need hundreds of books that represent Islam... books that Muslims and non-Muslims can read, that depict the positive elements in our heritage, and depict what is humane in the life of the bearer of the message. We truly need hundreds of books that can be read by all people, those who believe in the prophethood of Muhammad and those who do not. We always need to re-evaluate our heritage. To revive what is human in it and spread it to the world, that is, to depict the worldly side that has become a common heritage for all people, regardless of their religions, philosophies and opinions. Therefore, it is a human book that discusses a unique human condition, discussing the life of a man who was able to single-handedly establish a strong belief, a widespread religion and various sects.
