enough

all in all a good, detailed, yet open to interpretation account of Mohammad’s life from start to end. Gives many details and some open ideas of certain situations where sources clash (His age was 12, but other sources say 10, etc). Narration was good, coherent. Great book if you’d like to know the beginnings of Islam, small details surrounding how Mohammad received his messages from god, his military actions, love life,

Fantastic Piece of work

Great synopsis! Highly recommend to get just a glimpse of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (SAW).

That being said, Some of the collections/narrations need to be corrected - especially about the age of Ayesha at marriage.

hoping for a newer version with simple English instead of thou and thine…

My note before finishing the book is about using old English language style both for quranic verses and dialogues. Understandably, this was the style used in the twentieth century to translate the Quran, I wish the writer would do a new version with simple English now that new better and clearer translations of the Quran are available.

Beautiful seerah that must be read or listened to!

Amazing seerah that will increase your love for the Prophet. The narration in old classical English is superb. There is an errata that can be found online for those interested.
