Why this book?

Islam was forced into the middle of political and cultural turnmoil, and while the majority of Muslims are angered by what is claimed and what is done in the name of  Islam, some others in the rest of the world are incensed by what they hear and see through the "commercial" Media - for the first time - about Islam.

With that in mind and with all of my personal beliefs and certainties, I, on the contrary, took on this project for a completely different reason.

As a Muslim American I see a huge divide being relentlessly dug between my American people and 1.2 billion Muslims, a divide that can only lead to a road of hatred, confrontation and already bloody conflicts.

The easiest thing for casting some light through the darkness of such a divide, was to defend the religion and analyze the false claims in details, claims which are so baseless and plenty, however, I chose the most honest, unbiased, and to the point approach.

I chose you!

I gathered a cross section of the prophet's entire quotations covering as many aspects of Islam and life as possible.

I chose the quotations that covered the heart of matters,

with minimal need of explaining historical events or local customs through which it may have been required for a message of other quotations to be understood.

You will read the words of the prophet about Islam exactly, as they were said 1500 years ago, translated in a simple and as accurate as humanly possible language, most importantly,

they are written directly from him to you.

Then it's you.

Then it's you who will decide for yourself, whom the prophet really was, what is Islam about, in all matters of perspective-ness.

Whatever your opinion will be, it will be purely yours,

with nothing between you and Islam, the prophet or the prophet teachings....even me.

If I succeeded in spreading the truth, helping to close even on inch of the divide of delusional fear and ignorance, or even help save one piece of hair from being hurt on either side of the widenting divide,

I would have succeeded tremendously.

Having said that, I sincerely believe that this is the most positive book reading you will ever read.

I hope so.

May peace be upon everyone, everywhere.
