AN INDEPENDENT BEST BOOKS ON RELIGION 2014 PICK Few things provoke
controversy in the modern world like the religion brought by
Prophet Muhammad. Modern media are replete with alarm over jihad,
underage marriage and the threat of amputation or stoning under
Shariah law. Sometimes rumor, sometimes based on fact and often
misunderstood, the tenets of Islamic law and dogma were not set in
the religion's founding moments. They were developed, like in other
world religions, over centuries by the clerical class of Muslim
scholars. Misquoting Muhammad takes the reader back in time through
Islamic civilization and traces how and why such controversies
developed, offering an inside view into how key and controversial
aspects of Islam took shape. From the protests of the Arab Spring
to Istanbul at the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and from the ochre
red walls of Delhi's great mosques to the trade routes of the
Indian Ocean world, Misquoting Muhammad lays out how Muslim
intellectuals have sought to balance reason and revelation, weigh
science and religion, and negotiate the eternal truths of scripture
amid shifting values.
