“In Defense of the Messenger” by Dr. Alaa Alsalem is a comprehensive exploration of the misconceptions surrounding the character and life of the Prophet Muhammad. Through meticulous research and analysis, the book addresses critical questions raised by skeptics and doubters, and presents clear evidence to refute claims against the Messenger. This work does not only defend Muhammad as a divine figure but also highlights his humanitarian and civilizational contributions that transformed society.
Dr. Alsalem emphasizes that intellectual honesty demands misconceptions be met with factual responses, arguing that many objections are born out of ignorance, misunderstanding, or deliberate distortion. The author methodically dismantles these false narratives, focusing on the Prophet’s divine role, his moral character, and his lasting impact as a figure in the sphere of religion.
Organized into thematic chapters such as the Prophet’s early life, his prophethood, his infallibility, and interactions with various communities, this book offers a profound defense of one of history’s most significant figures. A must-read for scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the true legacy of Muhammad, this work stands as stronghold against slander and falsehood that continue to cloud his memory.
