Based on the perceptions of non-Muslims, the book uncovers the truth about the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), clarifies the reasons for misunderstanding between Islam and the West and highlights the prophetic teachings which help to build unity and peace amongst interfaith communities. Data was collected by reviewing appreciations of Muhammad (SAW) made by non-Muslims across the history and also conducting semi-structured interviews involving contemporary non-Muslim prominent personalities including MPs, Lords, and priests from interfaith communities and chaplaincies of some leading universities. The combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches has contributed in revealing the reality and establishing interfaith understanding.
