Did Muhammad use the sword to spread Islam across the Arabian Peninsula? In the Koran, Allah commands that there are to be no forced conversions to Islam. But the Koran also states that Muhammad spoke for Allah and must be obeyed. And over the centuries authoritative Muslim scholars have repeatedly written about a large number of incidents in which Muhammad offered non-Muslims, including entire Arab tribes, the stark choice of converting to Islam or being killed. Did Muhammad really make permissible what he knew Allah had made impermissible? In his fourth book about Islam Dr. Kirby investigates this question. He relies extensively on the translated writings of early authoritative Muslim scholars to take a historical approach to the examination of Muhammad and the early years of Islam. His conclusions may be surprising and troubling, but they are essential to understanding Islam. Dr. Kirby is the author of Letting Islam Be Islam: Separating Truth From Myth, a book that was reviewed in an Arabic language online publication of the Beirut Islamic University, Beirut, Lebanon. The reviewer noted that Letting Islam Be Islam "...provides a very deep understanding of the Koran and the Sunnah" and "is an excellent resource to guide you in understanding the enormous plethora of information about Islam" (Islamic Literature, Issue No. 73, 2013). This review was translated from the Arabic by Dr. Mark Christian, a native Arabic speaker.

Sunnah (pl. sunan) literally means way or practice. In Islamic terminology, it refers to any act performed, verbally encouraged or, to a lesser degree, sanctioned by the Messenger of Allah Ta'ala by being performed in his presence or knowledge and not meeting with his disapproval. Of equal if not greater importance are the characteristics that made up the personality of Muhammad PBUH, the concerns that impassioned him and the ideals that he strove for. The wisdom of the Messenger of Allah has, since the dawn of his mission, served to inspire, guide, enlighten and heal millions through the journey of life. And how could it not have been of him whose Maker has praised him thus: "And truly you stand on an exalted standard of character. " (68:4) Today, amongst the chaos and confusion of increasingly hectic lives, living in a world that replaces meaning with material value and purpose with temporal progress, far removed as we are from the time the blessed Messenger walked upon the earth, we need perhaps more than ever before to stop along the way and enrich ourselves with the teachings of truth and meaning of the Messenger of God, teachings in essence as timeless and as old as mankind itself: "Say: I am no new thing among messengers..." (46:9) The book in your hands is an anthology of some two hundred ahadith mostly of the second type of Sunnah referred to earlier, words of advice and teachings related to man and his relationship with his Maker, fellow human beings, and himself. Words of wisdom to mankind from one who was, after all his greatness and exalted stature, himself a man.
Ethics is the discipline concerned with what is morally good and bad, right and wrong. It occupies a remarkable position among the other disciplines because of its significant subject and high principle. The noble traits are the only means that achieves the high senses of humanity and perfection. The bad manners, on the other hand, deform man and line him up with beasts. Not only do moralities have influence on individuals, but also they creep into nations to reflect their modes of life and levels of development or retraction. Many historical events have proved that moral corruption has been the destructive axe that ruined civilizations. As a proof of the significance of morality is that Prophet Mohammed (s) considered morality as the aim of his Divine mission: He said: "I was appointed for prophethood so that I may accomplish moral perfection." This is the very purpose at which ethics aims through its regulations and standards that discipline the individuals' consciences, rectify their moralities, and guide to the reputable conduct and ideal behavior.

Jesus and Muhammad lived in different times and in different contexts. An absolute comparison of the careers of these two men is not a satisfactory method in understanding the similarities and differences between their teachings. This book approaches this topic from a different perspective. The time that Muhammad preached in Mecca is compared to the time Jesus spent preaching throughout Palestine. This improves the similarities in contexts between them and makes a comparison more valid. The number of similarities outweighs the number of differences when looking at the four books of the Gospel and the chapters of the Qur'an revealed in Mecca. On issues related to prayer, the Oneness of God, charity, the Hereafter and forgiveness the teachings in these two books are practically the same. A number of core theological issues surfaced in the Book of John do clash with Qur'anic teachings about the person of Jesus. These differences and the possible reasons for them are explored in this book. The conclusion of this book is that Muslims and Christians have more shared values and even theological similarities than differences. It is recommended that Muslims and Christians should spend more time understanding these commonalities.
