Overview

"""Taking us on an 'incredible journey'-using humor, description, conversations, the Quran-Bagha heightens our awareness of the world's issues: environment, climate change, animal abuse, abuse of the poor, covering a wide spectrum of the problems governing our lives today. No one reading A Seedling of Hope will be left unmoved by its cogent arguments and compassion for all faiths. -Professor Leda Culliford, Laurentian University, Sudbury This book is a stunning presentation on Islam, Quran, and Prophet Mohammed written for the 21st century reader. The social media-connected reader is seeking satisfactory answers for hard-hitting questions gripping the world today. In sumptuous bits with a sprinkling of stories at intervals-the book delivers an exponential thought-provoking experience with a climactic end: The Earth is in the throes of death. We must act now! The book will be a boon for non-Muslims and Muslims for the challenges facing humanity today -erosion of human, animal, and environmental rights-and how to right those wrongs. Many questions on Islam, Muslims, the Quran, and Prophet Muhammad's concern for animal welfare and the environment, women rights, the rights of prisoners of war, are answered in this book. The Prophet spoke highly of Jesus and Mary. He said that Moses and Ibrahim (Prophet Abraham) are his brothers in faith as they also preached monotheism. Racism was shunned by the Prophet and he stated there is no superiority of a white person over a black person and vice versa. He advocated that nobody should molest people praying in churches and other places of worship. What does Islam say about slavery? Do the Ten Commandments also apply to Muslims? Why do Muslim women wear the hijab? What does Islam say of racism? How about women rights in Islam? Was Prophet Mohammed an animal rights activist? Was he an environmentalist? Evolution and Creationism: are they polar opposites? How does Darwinism fit into the equation? Is Jihad and Shariah (Islamic Law) incompatible with secular law? Are you alarmed? Was Prophet Mohammed an orphan? While leading a vast empire, did he also do household chores to help his wives? Is there a chapter in the Koran titled Mary? What does the Koran say of Jesus? Is religion responsible for social upheaval and wars? Should we all become atheists? This book talks about Prophet Muhammad and his concern for all living creatures. There are specific examples in the book about human, animal, and environmental rights. He established comprehensive rights for women. He despised racism and bigotry in all its forms. He established the first comprehensive mandate for the rights of the prisoners of war. He forbade Muslims to molest any person in their places of worship and to safeguard all religious minorities living within the Islamic state. He spoke highly of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mary the mother of Jesus, and many other prophets mentioned in the bible. If you know this noble man and what he established, I promise you will love him too. If he was with us today, I assure you he would deprive himself so you could eat, be protected, and give you preference over himself. Read his legacy from authentic sources and without prejudice, then you will truly know his mission and mandate."

Author Information

Dr. R.J. Bagha is a graduate in Podiatric Medicine with a Masters Degree in Microbiology. He is trained in Canada and the U.K. He is the past-president of a progressive not-for-profit organization and functions as an Imam at a local mosque whenever summoned to lead congregational prayers and conduct sermons. His sermons often include clearing misconceptions on Prophet Muhammad, the Koran, and Allah ( which is an Arabic word for God). He also tries to reignite the legacy of Prophet Muhammad on human, animal, and environmental rights in Islam. The book was written while Bagha was practicing as a podiatrist in Regina, Saskatchewan. It is the probably the wide horizon, the absence of distractions as one views the miles and miles of prairie grass, and the freezing wind-blown prairie cold that makes one hunker down and take on thought-provoking subjects that form the material of this book.
