Muhammad, the World-Changer

An Intimate Portrait

By: Mohamad Jebara

Narrated by: John Pirkis

“A beautifully written, immaculately researched meditation on the impact of the Prophet Muhammad on the modern world. I loved this book!” —Reza Aslan, author of No God but God and Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth

A six-year-old cries in his mother’s arms as she draws her last breaths to urge him: “Muhammad, be a world-changer!” The boy, suddenly orphaned in a tribal society that fears any change, must overcome enormous obstacles to unleash his own potential and inspire others to do the same.

Fusing details long known to Muslim scholars but inaccessible to popular audiences, Mohamad Jebara brings to life the gripping personal story of Islam’s founding prophet. From his dramatic birth to nearly being abducted into slavery to escaping assassination, Muhammad emerges as an unrelenting man on a mission. Surrounding the protagonist are dynamic women who nurture Muhammad; Jewish and Christian mentors who inspire him; and the enslaved individuals he helps liberate who propel his movement.

Jebara places Muhammad’s life in a broader historical context, vividly evoking the Meccan society he was born into and arguing that his innovative vision helped shape our modern world.

Awesome

MashAllah great read, has beautiful details with clear and professional content. I recommend this read for anyone who wants a insight on our Prophets life.

Great book and good performance

Great book and great performance. the only slight issue that i have with the performance is that as a nom arabic speaker, everytime the reader tries to read the verses in arabic it feels so unnatural. they could've skipped that part or hired an arabic speaker to read it properly

Excellent.

Well told story written in a manner most English speakers can easily understand and relate to. Written more like a story than a thesis which adds color and perspective. The mention of his very real weaknesses and difficulties makes him that much more real. Well documented and comprehensive.

Awesome Fenomina

An amazing read if all Humans read results there will be less ihate, anger, stereotype and Biose.

Excellent narrrative...but the Arabic is Terrible

Overall, it is an excellent rendition, but the reader should not attempt to transliterate the Arabic contained in the book.
