fully aware that my rendering does not and could not really ‘do justice’ to the Qur’an and the layers upon layers of its meaning: for,” Muhammad Asad passed away in 1992 at the age of 91. Inna Lillahee Wainna Eelaihee Rajee’oon. May Allah (SWT) have mercy on his soul and grant him Jannat-ul-Firdous. Importance of His Work Assad adhered to the teachings of the Qur’an and the sunnah which he broadly defined as “the example the Prophet has set before us in his attitudes, actions and sayings. The only binding explanation of the Qur’anic teachings.” In Islamic Crossroads Assad writes: “The Sunnah is the key to the understanding of the Islamic rise more than thirteen centuries ago; and why should it not be a key to the understanding of our present degeneration?” There are many conversions in Western societies on both sides of the Atlantic. The reasons for these conversions vary but there are three common reasons that most will mention as did Asad: their belief in the divine origin of the Qur’an, the revelation of the word of God to his Prophet Muhammad (S) and the message to lead a righteous life.
