This book, 'Romance in Islam', highlights the great importance Islam attaches to love. It shows that the love of God is the best and most noble love, and that when it is rooted in a person's heart, it sets that person's behavior on the right footing, purifies their emotions and feelings, and removes selfishness. A person who truly loves God extends feelings of love and compassion to all creatures, seeking nothing in return. After the love of God comes the love of Prophet Muhammad, which should be pure and dedicated, stronger than the love for one's children or of oneself. We love Prophet Muhammad because he was the one who guided us to know God and established the true faith. The author makes clear that Islam is not merely a code of beliefs, rules, and moral values. It teaches Muslims to adopt the best manners in dealing with all creatures and attaches strong emphasis to love, compassion, gentleness, and noble behaviour. The book also illustrates how Prophet Muhammad elevated the status of women and ensured that under Islam they should never suffer injustice. Women must be given all the respect due to them and never be harmed.
