In the present book, The Prophet Muhammad: A Simple Guide to his Life, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan not only describes the life of Prophet Muhammad but also analyses in depth the message conveyed to us through his life. The book lays enormous emphasis on the fact that Prophet Muhammad went out of his way to follow a policy of peace throughout his life, contrary to the misconception that a significant part of his life was spent on warfare. As a result, Prophet Muhammad was supremely successful at both religious and secular levels.

In the present book Maulana Wahiduddin Khan has compiled an anthology from Hadith literature, an Islamic source second only to the Quran in religious importance. Although brief, it covers, directly or indirectly, the more important aspects of the Hadith’s teachings. This book teaches us some of the principles by which the Prophet of Islam sought to guide his followers. Eternal in essence, they are of value not only to Muslims, but to humanity at large. The words of the Prophet deeply touch our heart, inspiring us to lead a righteous life leading to salvation.

The traditions of Prophet Muhammad and the lives of his Companions and those closely associated with them, serve as a major source of religious enlightenment in theory and in practice. The present book forms a collection of inspiring thoughts, stories, quotes, sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad and his Companions. It brings to us a complete and, above all, human picture of true Islamic behaviour, which have been presented in a simple and straightforward style. It further endeavours to present these ideas in the simplest and the most direct way.

In the present book entitled Women between Islam and Western Society, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan highlights the conceptual difference about women in Islam and in the West by analyzing that the evils of Muslim Society stem from the gap between principle and practice, whereas the evils of western society are the result of a clash between principles and realities. Western civilization has formed principles independent of religious principles. Further, the book elaborates the role of women from the Islamic perspective.
