A Bedouin was standing in the mosque of the Prophet, and defiled it; when he was immediately taken hold of; and Muhammad peace be upon him said, "Let him alone, and throw a skin of water upon the spot; because you were not created but as comforters and not sent to create hardships." And they let him alone till he had gone, and then Muhammad called the Bedouin to him, and said, "This mosque is not a proper place for that, or any kind of filth; mosques are only for the mention of God, saying prayers, and reading the Qur'an."

Acquire knowledge. It enableth its posessor to distinguish right from wrong; it lighteth the way to Heave; it is our friend in the desert, our society in solitude, our companion when friendless; it guideth us to happiness; it sustaineth us in misery; it is an ornament among friends, and an armour against enemies.
Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him

A Customer's review
For the non-Muslim reader this one small book will provide an excellent introduction to Islam's history, values, and practices.
Mahatma Gandhi called this book "among the treasures of mankind," and it was found in Leo Tolstoy's pocket as he lay dying in the fields he used to till.
The author, an exceptionally gifted scholar and lawyer was founder of the Pan-Islamic Society of London, and was given the title "Sir" by the British government. This book was first published in 1905 by the Society.

Inscribed on the prophet's sword:
Forgive him who wrongs you; join him who cuts you off;
do good to him who does evil to you;
and speak the truth even if it be against yourself.
