More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The Prophet Muhammad initiated one of the most significant religious and cultural developments in human history, bringing into the world the religion of Islam in its final form. His life continues to inspire millions and millions of people around the world. Recent world events, bringing the world of Islam more and more in contact with other cultures around the world, makes a proper understanding of Islam and its Prophet very important for mutual understanding and world peace. Adil Salahi's compelling biography traces the life of the Prophet Muhammad from birth and childhood in the Arabian desert to the triumph of Islam and its gaining permanent hold on Arabia. The author sets this against a fascinating historical backdrop, making a careful analysis of events and relating them to the life of Muslims today. Today, Islam provides perhaps the most important trend influencing arab and Islamic thinking throughout the world. Adil salahi looks at Islam from this wider perspective with both the Muslim and non-Muslim readers in mind. Muslims will add to their understanding of their own faith and non-Muslims will understand the passionate love Muslims have for their Prophet.

Format:Paperback
I have been reading texts on Islam and the Prophet for most of my life, but this is the book which I have always remembered and gained most satisfaction from. It is rich in detail, but the author's excellent style and narrative makes this hefty book hard to put down. Perhaps it is his BBC journalism rigour, but my point is that most Islamic books, unfortunately do not pay enough attention to the reader and make the reading experience quite challenging. The knowledge is there, but the method is not so easy. This book is a rare exception, as it manages to combine academic rigour, with an almost novel-like style. Pleased to recommend this.

Format:Paperback
I have been reading books on the Prophet (PBUH) since childhood but this is the only one which transported me back in time and gave me an in-depth understanding of the social norms of the era and hence answering a lot of why's and how's. I loved it so much that I gave it to my sister to read thinking I will get another one for myself and have been searching frantically ever since. Now I am praying that Amazon will find one for me. This time I buy more than one, so in case I feel generous again I still have an invaluable piece for my own collection.

Format:Paperback
This book is informative, concise and so powerful. It brings to life so many tragedies and conquests within the Islamic history.
Islamic life, triumph and losses that people had within the hardest times during the building of Islam. This book favours anyone Muslim and Non-Muslim alike to find out more about a powerful era and powerful religion. It is truly passionate and shows the love from the Muslims to the Prophet (pbuh) and also the hatred from the Non-Muslims who then eventallt realised their error and mended their ways, by accepting Islam.
Fantastic Read!

An exceptional insight
Don't let the sheer size of this book put you off although I'm sure there are encylcopedias which are smaller and more concise. Read more
