By: Martin Lings (Abubakr Siraj ad Din)
paperback
Based on Arabic sources of the eighth and ninth centuries, Lings' Muhammad owes the freshness and directness of its approach to the words of the men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life. Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative; here he has adopted a style which is at once extremely readable and reflects both the simplicity and grandeur of the story. The result is a book which will be read with equal enjoyment by those already familiar with Muhammads' life and those coming to it for the first time. This work has been translated into many languages and won many prizes and awards..
'This is easily the best biography of the Prophet in the English language.'
The Islamic Quarterly
'An enthralling story that combines impeccable scholarship with a rare sense of the sacred worthy of his subject.'
Dr. Victor Danner (Indiana University)
'Muhammad is a true work of art, as enthralling as the best novels with the difference that this is not fiction but fact.'
The Spectator
