MUHAMMAD: The Messenger of God
An Analysis of the Prophet’s Life
by M. Fethullah Gülen
The message the Prophet Muhammad brought in the seventh century did not only change a small community in the Arabian Peninsula. More than one-fifth of the world population today testifies to him as the final Messenger of God. His voice is still heard in the modern age as powerfully and influentially as it was 14 centuries ago when he emerged as one single man to convey the will of God to humanity.
In Muhammad: The Messenger of God, Gülen delves deep into the reasons as to how a single man – with no means of power – was able to leave such indelible marks on millions of minds and souls. Rather than listing events in a chronological biography, Gülen follows an analytical framework of the Prophet’s mission and character, providing numerous accounts from his lifetime. Gülen presents the Prophet in the different roles he assumed within his community as a father, husband, statesman, chief of staff, and an individual with utmost compassion, wisdom, grace, humility, and trustworthiness.
One of the most celebrated teachers of Islam in Turkey, Gülen is outstanding with his double-winged intellectual background that is embedded in traditional Islamic scholarship on the one hand and his progressive vision on the other. His messages of universal peace, dialogue, and respect have inspired a movement of schools and institutes across the world. Muhammad: The Messenger of God is regarded as Gülen’s masterpiece and has been published in 12 languages.
