The genius of Muhammad

"The Genius of Muhammad" is a title that fulfills its meaning within its intended limits and does not exceed them. The book is not a new prophetic biography, to be added to the Arab and European biographies, which the Muhammadiyah Library has been full of until now. Because we did not address the facts of the biography itself in these pages, as we believe that the scope is ample for dozens of books on this subject, then it cannot be said that it has been completely exhausted.
The book is not an explanation of Islam or some of its rulings, or a defense of it, or an argument with its opponents. . . These are purposes that are fulfilled in various contexts, and are written by those who are familiar with them and have knowledge of them and the ability to handle them.
The book is an appreciation of "the genius of Muhammad" according to the extent to which every human being owes him, but not a Muslim, and that is sufficient, and by the truth that love for him is established in the heart of every human being, and not in the heart of every Muslim, and that is sufficient.
