Book Of The Week: An Apology For The Life And Character Of The Celebrated Prophet of Arabia Called Mohamed

Submitted By Ahmed K. El-Shabazz

This is one of  Mr. Godfrey Higgins’ ( 1773-1833 ) classic works! Next to his most famous book  , ANACALYPSIS , the above book stands as one of  the  most well balance look at the life of the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) ever written by a non-Muslim. This book was written in 1829 , a time when England and America  were  apart of the enslavement of African Muslims , which lead to  lost of over 200 million Black people  murdered   during the so-called middle passage  alone,   from Africa to the Americas. Mr. Higgins not only defends the Prophet Muhammad , but also shows the Christian religion to be lacking on many points.

This book is a verbatim reprint which was edited in 1929 by Mr Mirza Abu’l-Fazl. A must read for those who study history and comparative religions.  And, given todays population of  under-educated Muslims and non-Muslims alike , this book would help   in understanding just who Muhammad (pbuh)  really was and  what Islam really is .  A light to those who seek such light.
