Publisher's summary

Born into the factious world of war-torn Arabia, Muhammad's life is a gripping and inspiring story of one man's tireless fight for unity and peace. In a world where greed and injustice ruled, Muhammad created change by affecting hearts and minds. Just as the story of Jesus embodies the message of Christianity, Muhammad's life reveals the core of Islam. Deepak Chopra shares the life of Muhammad as never before, putting his teachings in a new light.

An accompanying PDF file chronicles Muhammad's life and genealogy.

Critic reviews

“[O]ne of the most imaginative and touching biographies of Muhammad….Chopra’s grasp of Muhammad’s life and mission extends his range in a surprising direction; his popularization is welcome.” ( Publishers Weekly)

“Compellingly told, this is not only good storytelling, it also helps readers, especially non-Muslims, better understand the complexities and contradictions surrounding Islam.” ( Booklist)

Helped me to understand Islam

This is a great tale about Mohammed, his life and the people around him, and his influence on the world.

Great Exercise for Story from Different Take

Listening to a novel taking on origin of Islam is interesting to say least. The imagination of the writer is appreciated. However, many of chronology of events & facts as were transmitted through Muslim scholars are not as accurate which was mentioned by writer in his introduction. It is still a novel that tales an interesting story to those who are interested to be introduced to Mohamed the Prophet. There are plethora of scholarly work that can be looked at for those who are interested. I would recommend the following as an example only; Sahih Bukhari, Sealed Nectar (Al Raheeq Al Makhtom ), & fikh Al Syrah by Imam Ghazali. Thanks for good work.

A Nice Perspective

I was interested in this book because Audibles selection on Islam is super limited and mostly anti-islamic material. The novel jumps around a lot so you need to have some idea of the history of Islam to follow it. Also the production value is low and although I love when readers narrate, I felt it didnt fit this book and it was somewhat different to hear clearly.

fastasy and reality

"Oh ye who believe mix not the truth with falsehood" .Better to read the Quran.

Really enjoyed listening this book

Each and every incident is in detail and easy to understand with the help of family tree.

Delightful

A quick listen for someone that wants to hear about the joys and sorrow of Mohammed with out bais, but thoughtful reflection.

Great book!

I could not put the book down. Fantastic listening. very well presented. Thank you. x

Very enlightening prospective Profit Muhammad

AND GOING TO LISTEN TO IT 100 TIMES...answered lots of questions for me and helps me understand and or provokes thoughts and wonderment of ancient Theology history.

Muhammad is a prophet of God

Muhammad brought another aspect of God and His message to humankind. God richly bless this servant of our Creator and those who seek to do His will on earth!

A close look in spiritual journey of Muhammad

I liked the story a lot, especially how different parts of Muhammad’s life is told from the perspective of different people - the subjective views, narratives and emotions of different people creates the sense of objectivity.
