Surprisingly, I have enjoyed reading this book!!! Reason why I’m surprised is because it isn’t anything like The Bridesgroom, which I enjoyed a lot. This book isn’t fictional and gives the history on the origins and evolution on faith as it relates to Islam. So far in the first two chapters I have gotten a deeper insight on the story and process to Muhammad as it connects to him being a prophet. I am not familiar with a lot of the Islamic culture, traditions, and religious readings people follow. However, I am looking forward to discovering new information in this reading, as well as, hearing about the information/experience those who go to the mosque for their ICR.
After some research I found this website, which goes into similar detail on Muhammad the prophet. In addition, this site is about “The Met,” which is a place found in New York. There are three in total located in New York and all have various exhibits/artifacts/readings on cultures around the world. It would be really interesting if we could have a guest speaker or another lunch in to talk with someone who can give some information more on the culture that cant be found in a book. Plus, here is a cool page on some interesting facts just for fun (since its a new unit ya know)!!!!
