Muhammad, the World-Changer

An Intimate Portrait

De: Mohamad Jebara

Narrado por: 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

Loving listening to the book, but very disappointed with the narrator

I am loving this book. I’ve been listening to it and i’m learning so many details and stories that I didn’t know about the Prophet (pbuh). My only complaint is with the narrator. With the millions of Arabic-speaking and English-speaking people in this world why on earth, would you select a narrator who is butchering pronunciation of the verses. I can’t even recognize some of the verses he’s saying. Please considering dubbing-in those portions of the book with someone else’s voice who can actually properly pronounce the Arabic words.

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.

Great book, horrible narration for Arabic words

An eye opener. A fresh perspective on the life of the Prophet of Islam. The author is exceptionally smart and gifted to be able to master Arabic at this level of depth and do a thorough detective job to put together the pieces of the life of the prophet.

The only disappointment is that the narrator butchers the Arabic terms. If you know Arabic, the butchering will offend you. If you don’t know Arabic, it may not matter much anyway as long as you are aware that his pronunciation is miserable and does gross injustice to the topic and the book.

Overall a highly recommended book. Perhaps better read than listened to considering the horrible Arabic pronunciations.

Heartwarming read

loved all the details, howver some of the arabic translated to english was inaccurate and the arabic pronounciation of the narrator was far from the proper way to pronounce the arabic words and quranic verses listed in the book.

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.

The Most Excellent Sira of Muhammad (pbuh) I Have Yet Studied.

Mohamad Jebara has written an illuminated text of the Prophet’s (pbuh) life story that will prayerfully stay relevant for the Ages, a world changing publication and one that will live forever in my soul.

Excellent summary

Excellent story. It’s about facts. It could have been longer and had more details but the writer had a message that he conveys throughout the book. I wish the Arabic words were articulated by an Arabic speaker as many words were articulated wrongly.
