Islamic Unity Week, observed from the 12th to the 17th of Rabi al-Awwal, is a time for Muslims to come together, celebrate our shared faith, and strengthen the bonds of the Ummah. Recognising both Sunni and Shia traditions surrounding the Mawlid or birth of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the week encourages unity, mutual understanding, dialogue, and cooperation. As the Qur’an reminds us, “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not be divided.” (Qur’an 3:103).

The Mawlid is marked by many communities with prayers, poetry, stories from his life, and shared meals—a time to reflect on his character, compassion, teachings, and example. To help you deepen your connection with the Prophet’s life and legacy, IHRC Bookshop is offering 20% off a selection of books about the Prophet Muhammad.

The Mawlid and Holding onto the Rope of GodThe Book of Prophetic Ethics and the Courtesies of Living: Book 20 of The Revival of the Religious Sciences – Al-Ghazali

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali gives a full account of the customs and character of the Messenger of God, Muhammad. It is not a biography of Muhammad (peace and blessing of God be upon him) but a roadmap for those who want to strengthen their faith, increase their knowledge, and deepen their understanding of the second part of the testimony of faith, namely the first pillar of Islam.

The author details the Messenger’s noble nature and his miracles, while removing doubts regarding his message. He deals with the issue of the imitation of Muhammad (peace and blessing of God be upon him) noting that the ultimate source of knowledge is revelation from God which comes to us through the Messenger. This volume lays clear that the aim of the imam in this Series is to call for a return to the Sunna and the imitation of the Messenger in all aspects of life.
