A global reading campaign
Before you judge history, read his story.
Imagine a boy who grew up without a father or mother. A man who never told a lie — called "the Trustworthy" even by his opponents. Devoted to his wife, tender with his children. Many wished him harm; yet he never took revenge for himself — when his fiercest enemies finally stood defeated before him, he forgave them all. And life spared him almost no sorrow: he buried his beloved wife, and six of his seven children, with his own hands.
Today, billions know his name. Very few have read his story.
Choose a book about the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in your own language, matched to where you're starting from. Read at your own pace, together with people around the world.
