Story
What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you know is wrong? What does this mean about what you’ve been venerating? No issue brings this question into starker contrast than slavery. Every major religion and philosophy condoned or approved of it, but in modern times there is nothing seen as more evil. Americans confront this crisis of authority when they erect statues of Founding Fathers who slept with their slaves. And Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad.

Day after day we read of the caliphate and the Qur'an, of Sunni and Shi'a, Salafis and Sufis, integration and isolation, radicals and refugees. Almost a quarter of the world's populate is Muslim. It is clear that understanding the modern world requires knowing something about Islam. But while much is said and written about Islam and the global trends and historic events connected to it, little attention is given to placing these phenomena within their greater historical, religious and intellectual context.

Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Summary
Sometimes rumor, sometimes based on fact and often misunderstood, the tenets of Islamic law and dogma were not set in the religion's founding moments. They were developed, like in other world religions, over centuries by the clerical class of Muslim scholars.
Misquoting Muhammad takes listeners back in time through Islamic civilization and traces how and why such controversies developed, offering an inside view into how key and controversial aspects of Islam took shape. Misquoting Muhammad lays out how Muslim intellectuals have sought to balance reason and revelation, weigh science and religion, and negotiate the eternal truths of scripture amid shifting values.

Balanced View of Scriptural History
Accurately depicts controversial aspects of scriptural interpretation and its evolutions. Argues that historical interpretation and understanding needs to be upheld even in the modern times insofar that they are set in stone. However, there are a lot of room for new understanding in issues of fiqh which alter with time and situation. Showed that renowned scholars of early Muslims differed on issues respectfully as long as it came from an opinion derived from evidenced scriptural understanding.
Most interestingly showed that early scholars not so critical of hadith that spoke of ample rewards and last days as they promoted better adherence by Muslims. Hadith scholars like Bukhari were not infallible in their Sahih collection but it was important to set it in stone so believers are not confused due to lack of knowledge. Hence Ahmed Ibn Hanbal preferred weak hadith over ones human intellectual opinion which fluctuates with the environment.

Shame the narrator sounds like an automated Robot
I was really eager to listen to this book as I have heard so many good things and the reviews also confirmed this. Sadly, i should’ve listened to the reviews on the narrator as I couldn’t cope, not only was the pronunciation horrendous but he sounds like a male version of Alexa.. I just couldn’t get into it and I just couldn’t get past him - I think what was worse is that you can tell he is trying to pronounce everything correctly but Alexa would have done a better job. I ended up buying the paperback which is why I have given it 2 stars as the book itself is outstanding.

The use of hadith - a no holds barred journey
A very extensive journey through the use and applicability of the hadith. The book has tried to take an anthropological stance which is its strength and weakness. Strength because the book does not come across as a polemic from a partisan direction, weak because it then attempts to give equal legitimate weight to all sides, at least in their introduction and contending views are either put in the mouths of their historical detractors or voiced by an invisible third party arbiter based on a principle that has arisen out of the debate. I would have liked to have heard the explicit view of the author whether I agreed with it or not. I also felt at times that the content could have been trimmed without losing essential content or impact.
The references to similar debates and events that had taken place in the Christian world was a good mechanism especially as the Ummah had been compared to its sister commuties, the Christian and Jewish worlds. Like another reviewer the strained attempt to pronounce some of the Arabic words or names was at times distracting but not significantly so.

Good book.Arabic word narration can be much better
I started reading (more accurately, listening to, on Audible .. Thanks Amazon) this book as I was mainly curious as to what extent would an American academic dive deep into such a severley complicated issue like islamic tradition, Hadeith sciences, Islamic schools of sharia/law, and larger islamic divisions (e. g Sunna vs Shia..).. To what extent would he grasp the foundations over which they differed on their rulings and opinions, and how he would represent such a complicated subject to an uninformed western reader. Also how this chain of tradition manifisted today in some "new" islamic thought schools that try to be as close to western culture and ideologies as possible.
After finishing the book, I can easily say I did enjoy the book, and I would certainly read other books from the same author. There are some sections I didn't find quite accurate, but overall, the great effort and thoroughness the author showed is remarkable.
Still, I would say that the average western reader might find it challenging to grasp all of this in the first read... I mean, I consider myself already familiar with nearly all the ideas/discussions/debates presented in the book to a good extent, and yet listening to those exact same ideas in English feels quite strange and detached... It feels like a big chunck of context is missing.
Overall I recommend this book to people, especially western non-muslims, although even arab muslims could find this quite useful [There is an arabic translation of the book available (not an audio book, though)].
Thanks, Jonathan.

Fantastic Book, Horrible Arabic Pronunciation
Brown's book is a well-researched introduction to and explication of the history of the Ahadeeth (Prophetic Traditions) and the challenges faced by Islamic scholars (and laymen) in interpreting and using them to help form and apply/practice Islamic Law.
While the narrator does a good job overall, his pronunciation of Arabic terms is cringe-worthy to anyone familiar with the Arabic language. It was so bad at times I almost stopped listening. Here are a few (transliterated) examples:
It's Muhammad not Mukhaamed
Maalik not Maleek
Waliullah not Waali Aalah
Qur'aan not Kooran
Ulemaa not Ooo Llama
And the list goes on.
It would have been much better to have used a narrator who had at least a basic understanding of Arabic pronunciation, especially in a book that uses so many Arabic terms on every page. Other than that it was a fantastic read (listen) that I recommend to anyone interested in the subject matter.

A research of great value.
I'm gonna be honest. It's not the casual easy read. Mr brown digs in too deep and doesn't spare the details. Sometimes it's not gonna be easy to get by the chapter. But that's what a research of great value is like. In the end you are left with immense satisfaction with what you have learned and a feeling that every bit was worth it. Thank you Mr. Brown for the great effort.
As for Paul (The performer) he did really well but his Arabic was often times not recognizable. I kept repeating parts trying to figure out what the word he's trying to say is.
Great work overall.

One of the best if not the best book that provides readers with a wealth of information about the Islamic traditions from different arrays and Islamic backgrounds. I finds it particularly useful as it provides non- biased referenced information about several schools of Islamic faith. This book has a lot of information that may not be easily acceptable in this simple but great (form and narration)that is in my opinion should be appealing to any reader trying to understand what Islam is all about!
