The Prophet�s Pulpit: Commentaries on the State of Islam� by accomplished UCLA law professor Khaled Abou El Fadl, is an intriguing ensemble of 22 Islamic sermons sure to inform and engender discussion. These commentaries on what Islam and the Muslim world are like today originate from the Prophet of Islam. Readers will find topics on society, ethics, and interpretations as they relate to justice and spirituality. Reading about Islamophobia from varying viewpoints could go a long way in healing and understanding those who have been oppressed. These powerful messages will have you thinking and considering, not just the spirituality of others, but maybe your own. The messages about morality are compelling and timely, a way for us to keep moving toward a more thoughtful, respectful world.
Author Khaled Abou El Fadl breaks these commentaries down into neatly organized sections, so they are quite easy to go back to and read again if you wish. Part 1 is about foundations, moral character, and trusting intuition, just to name a few issues. Part 2 is about love and building relationships with God, including prayers. Part 3 deals with holding on to faith in modern times, and dealing with racism and hypocrisy. Part 4 is about justice and aspiring to be more just. It also covers the coronavirus. The final section, Part 5, is about gratitude and enduring hard times.
The author has included a glossary, which helps with terms that may be unfamiliar. The commentaries are brief and impactful, but very thorough, leading you to a deeper understanding, and possibly to an examination of your beliefs and attitudes. Whether you have a different faith or no particular faith, you can learn something from this book and this author.
Those who may have been judged or ostracized for their beliefs may find themselves connecting with these commentaries. You will read where the author has been criticized by bringing politics into the pulpit, and his response that silence could be considered just as political. If you like reading about religion and faith or just want to expand your horizons, try the warm and inspiring ââ?¬Å"The Prophetââ?¬â?¢s Pulpit: Commentaries on the State of Islamââ?¬Â? by accomplished UCLA law professor Khaled Abou El Fadl.
