In Focus

2 Ramadhan, 1442

Have embarked on my key reading for the holy month: Tariq Ramadan's The Messenger - The Meanings of the Life of Muhammad. It's my favourite of the short biographies, though I suppose it's more meditational-devotional than strictly biographical. TR nails his purpose in the engaging introduction: These two dimensions - the man's humanity and the Prophet's exemplarity - serve as the focus of our interest... Nicely put, and exactly what I need as my focus in these days.
