The Radiant Lamp - What Young Muslim Can Learn from the Prophet's Seerah- revised 2nd edition

Description

The Radiant Lamp should serve as a much-needed textbook at Islamic full-time or weekend schools or simply as something to read as a family. It is unique. It is engaging. It invites critical thinking. The Radiant Lamp is a just-published Seerah-inspired book for Muslim teenagers. It seeks to reconnect the youth with the Prophet's Seerah (S) in the age of heightened Islamophobia and mounting challenges to faith and spirituality. This book presents the Prophet's Seerah and Islam not only as ancient history but also as timeless guidance for humanity. Like any religious minority in America, Muslims sometimes encounter intolerance. In the face of Islamophobia and hatred from fringe groups, it's easy to feel helpless and adrift-especially if you're young and still learning about your faith. The life of the Prophet Muhammad offers an anchor and a guide for young Muslims navigating these challenges. It also provides information that can be used to build bridges with other faiths. The Prophet preaches moderation in the face of extremism and active engagement in society; his teachings can help young Muslims develop into confident, benevolent citizens. The Radiant Lamp makes the life and core teachings of the Prophet accessible for Muslim high school students. It also makes excellent reading for non-Muslims seeking to understand the tenets of Islam and the role of Muslims in Western culture. This book attempts to present the Seerah, or life of the Prophet Muhammad, not as ancient history, but as timeless and practical guidance. Ekram Haque is also the author of a well-received biography of the Prophet, entitled, Muhammad: Son of Abraham, Brother of Moses, Media Type: Paperback glossy
