The Road To Mecca Book Review

823 Words4 Pages

“The Road to Mecca” by Muhammad Asad is an extraordinary scriptures. The book is well-written and the choice of word that author used is easy to understand. For me, I will rate five stars for this book. The book is not the full story of Muhammad Asad but it is the story of the journey of Muhammad Asad travelling over the years and spent his young age in Arabia. He even mentioned, “My story is simply the story of a European’s discovery of Islam and his integration within the Muslim community”. Before going deeper to the review, who is Muhammad Asad? Muhammad Asad or his real name before he converted to Islam is Leopold Weiss, he was a central European Jew. His father is a lawyer while his mother is a daughter of the Banker and his mother died during Asad turn 19 years old. He converted …show more content…

Plus, it is the higher appreciation for me from Allah becoming his vicegerent in this world. Asad thought me about life not easily being a judgmental person that will annoy others. Be positive in whatever we are currently doing. Back to the story, Asad started to develop the feeling of Islam and attract to what Islam taught. His twenty three days of journey to Mecca really challenging and I felt like I am in the Arabian Night, experiencing the same way as Asad. In a conclusion, this book is highly recommended for both Muslim and Non-Muslim. This not some sort of bias book. Thanks to the author for giving me chance to grab some knowledge through this book. It gains my love toward Islam and I felt so happy while I read it. It such an adventurous book. From the knowledge I got from this book, I really hope that it will help me to deal with my daily life and I hope I will be someone great in the future that can submit to the society and Islam

    Before finishing this book I declared that I hated this book and that it was very one sided and written in some woman’s ignorant way of thinking that women need to be seen in this light. But the further I read along I began to understand and grasp the real concept. I would definitely recommend this book to any trying feminist who want to get the message out because the evidence is in it. We as a society have to change. We have to stop diminishing the appreciation of women, change our perspective, and respect our community as well being open and vulnerable to these changes.

  • Summary Of Jerusalem By Karen Armstrong

    284 Words  | 2 Pages

    Karen Armstrong’s view on religion and spirituality is very enriching and I would call it modern. In the book Jerusalem, Armstrong begins with her journey to Jerusalem, a place that for so long she associated with holiness, and sacredness. As a young nun with only exposure to Catholicism, she always envisioned Jerusalem as place that evoked peace. When Armstrong visited Jerusalem, she quickly realized that although it was a city of history, it was also a place with festering animosity between Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Armstrong’s point of view became very apparent during the introduction.
