"For those interested in Islam in one way or another, it is mesmerizing." ( Parabola)

Great intro

Very informative and with Great details! Loved it. Must read for all trying to understand the beginnings of Islam!

Well written and narrated

As a person who knew very little of Muhammad, this book was very informative and gave a spectacular narrative of the prophet's life.

better than ibn Ishaq

I first attempted to listen to the copy of ibn Ishaq within the first few minutes it was painfully obvious that the translation had been undertaken and the reading sponsored by someone who had a personal grudge against Islam so looking for more reputable and unbiased source I picked this book covers all the necessary basis

Storytelling without imposing opinion

Very enjoyable book, balanced and informative. The narrator is compelling. No imposition of opinions or explanations.

Beautiful Narration, Story is nice

I enjoyed learning about the prophet peace be upon him. showcasing different passages of his life, his early childhood, his marriages, and the way he interacts with people truly shows him as a great leader, husband and overall role model.

The authors archaic Shakespearean way of writing truly gave this book its own artistic taste.
