Resumen
The life of the Prophet Muhammad, to whom the Angel Gabriel revealed the verses of the Quran, has provided inspiration to Muslims for hundreds of years. In "The Messenger", leading Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan considers the ways in which the Prophets actions, words and teachings can guide us in the modern world. Interspersed with spiritual and philosophical meditations, this profound and stimulating biography shows how Muhammads message can be used to address some of todays most controversial issues - from the treatment of the poor and the role of women to the interpretation of jihad and relations with other religions. It offers Muslims a new understanding of Muhammads life and introduces non-Muslims to the story of the Prophet and to the riches of Islam.<
