Description

Traditional teaching stories of the words and deeds of Muhammad have brought inspiration and guidance to spiritual seekers for centuries. The stories in this collection, chosen for their universal appeal, portray the Prophet of Islam as down-to-earth yet brilliantly spiritual, stern in matters of justice yet compassionate, rich in dignity yet extremely modest, a poignant storyteller gifted with a keen sense of humor, a valorous warrior, a diligent worker, a conscientious family man, a good neighbor, and a just king.

First Sentence

"THE PROPHET said, ""The word of wisdom is the stray of the believer, who has the better right to it wherever it may be found."""
