In Road to Makkah, the reader is initially confronted with a protagonist who is on a journey through the deserts of Saudi Arabia. However, as one continues to read the book, the reader is aware that there are actually two parallel journeys going on: the journey through the deserts of Saudi Arabia, and also the journey through the life of Muhammad Asad on his way to Islam. At first I found the book rather hard …showed first 75 words of 1457 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1457 total…not have a clear understanding of some of the other laws in Islam such as why Muslim women may not marry non-Muslim men, and what little understanding I did have was tainted my Western literature criticizing Islamic laws. Therefore, this book provided a lot of insight for me. WORKS CITED Asad, Muhammad. The Road to Makkah. Delhi: Adam Publishers and Distributors. Bibliography WORKS CITED Asad, Muhammad.
