Book Synopsis

The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World follows in the footsteps of Ayatullah Ahmadi Miyanji’s Makatib al-Rasul and Dr. Muhammad Hamidullah’s Watha’iq al-siyasiyyah in examining the importance of the letters, treaties, and covenants that the Messenger of Allah concluded with the People of the Book. The work focuses on documents transmitted through both Muslim and Christian lines of authority, including several manuscripts of prophetic provenance that were previously unknown to the scholarly community. This critically-acclaimed Amazon best-seller has been overwhelmingly well-received by both academics and religious authorities from all faiths and has inspired an influential Muslim movement, the Covenants Initiative, that has played an important part in inspiring the Marrakech Declaration and in the passing of the Fortenberry Resolution which condemns ISIS for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
