Dr. John Andrew Morrow’s Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World is featured among the prominent sirah writings of the modern period surveyed by Javid Ahmad Bhat in his article that was published in Karachi Islamicus 2(2). https://doi.org/10.58575/ki.v2i2.29. The segment on Morrow’s work appears on page 33. It reads:
John Andrew Morrow, Prophet’s Covenant with the Christian’s of the World, Arabia: Sophia Perennis, 2013: This recently published and widely received work tries to see how Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) was engaging with different communities in the “shadow of war” as some orientalists would often define the life of the Prophet—“the Prophet of sword.” This book deconstructs this biased Eurocentric biased approach of orientalists with the help of the manuscripts, how Prophet (SAAS) signed different covenants with many Christian communities of the time include the Monk’s of Mount Sinai, Christians of Persia, Christians of Najran etc. The purpose of these agreements was to remove suspicion and strengthen trust and mutual understanding and co-existence between Christians and Muslims considering that the continued conflict between Christians and Muslims across the world has been artificially ignited by the forces of imperialism. The content of those priceless historical documents can shed light on the early history of Islam. These covenants can serve as a source of inspiration for the establishment of insuperable harmony between the three Abrahamic Religions.
