IN the footsteps of the prophet : lessons from the life of Muhammad - RAMADAN (New York : Oxford University Press, 2007)
The book underscores the significance of the propet's example for some of todays most controvesial issues, such as the treatment of the poor, the role of women, Islamic criminal punishments, war, racism, and relations with other religions. Selecting facts and stories from which we can draw a profound and vivid apiritual picture, the autor asks how the prophet;s life can remain - or become again - an example, a model, and an inspiration, and how Muslima can move from formalism - fixation or ritual - toward a committed spiritual and social presence
