The reviews commend the book as excellent, particularly for its insightful comparison of the portrayal of prophets in the Quran versus the Old Testament. It highlights the Quranic depiction of prophets as figures of wisdom, nobility, and a divine connection, reflecting sublime qualities. The book also effectively integrates the admiring views of respected Western intellectuals such as Bernard Shaw, Will Durant, and Otto von Bismarck, who praised the Prophet of Islam's character, leadership, and the profound wisdom found in the Quran. These included acknowledgments of his success in elevating a people and his potential as a global leader.
While the reviews do not present any criticisms of the book itself, they highlight that the book thoroughly addresses historical controversies and negative portrayals of religious figures and Islam. It examines how prophets are depicted in the Old Testament with perceived moral failings, and it delves into historical Western Christian slanders against Islam. These include medieval claims that the Prophet of Islam was a disgruntled Catholic cardinal who founded an atheist sect, or that he was the primary apostate responsible for dividing Christianity. The book appears to analyze these accusations, suggesting their roots in accustomed ways of depicting religious figures.
Overall, the book is highly regarded for its profound analysis and its unique approach to comparative religious studies. It is recommended for readers interested in exploring the diverse portrayals of religious figures across different traditions and understanding the historical context of various accusations and defenses related to Islam. The book would appeal to those seeking an objective and well-documented examination of religious texts and historical narratives, particularly concerning the image of prophets and the origins of misconceptions about Islam.
