Revelation: The Story of Muhammad

This is the greatest seerah book especially for young people to learn about their Prophet from an unbiased perspective. The author has put in a great effort and it is so easy to read and extract lessons from. It humanises the Prophet and makes sense to the modern audience. I have learnt many new things about Islam which are so important to our young generation but are never talked about. It was a huge surprise for me to see how open-minded and gentle the Prophet was a teacher, the things that he stood for and what he emphasized. It is nothing like the Islam that I have been taught or many of my generation. If we only we knew who he was. Thank you to the author for not hiding the Prophet's true message from us. Studying this book will allow you to make practical changes in your life if you follow his teachings step by step, the way he taught and emphasized. You would be surprised at the actions he emphasized in his message as they are not what muslims follow these days. We have missed the whole point - the first revelations and the initial message that should have been the foundation of our religion. If the foundation is weak then what use is there in building on top of it. It's only going to collapse.

Great book So much work has been put in Loved it

Being a former med student just like the author, I needed something which I could not only read, but something I could study. I implore all madrassah/Islamic school teachers in the west to buy this and construct exams in Seerah based on this book. Teach it. Finally something that we can learn. And not just go through essays of prose. Actual Islamic knowledge for visual learners. Please more books like this please!!! In Hanafi Fiqh/ Maturidi Aqeedah/ Usool Fiqh/ shari'ah/Arabic The author is the Leonardo di Vinci of western Islamic literature. The revolution is here! For us English speaking text book learning students.. who throughout school and university did exams based on reading books in this format.

Just received the book and have managed to start reading it. I can already tell that it's exactly how it's described. A book on the life of the prophet PBUH, but in a very detailed and easier to understand way.I can't thank the author enough for all his efforts. I was looking for a book like this for a long time and am so happy it's available. A must read for muslims and non Muslim who are looking for a book based on the the prophet Muhammad's PBUH's life.

Best book in the present on the topic. This is a great read with awesome diagrams and notes to help memorise important dates and details.

A visual, easy and in depth read which helps you to understand the biography of the Prophet pbuh through text, graphs, diagrams and summaries. A must read.

No words can be used to describe the full extent of how fantastic and superb this masterpiece is.

highly recomended

This book is pretty detailed and the graphics are awesome.

I own Ar Raheeq al Makhtoom, Noble Life of the Prophet by Dr. Ali as Sallabi, and Martin Lings seerah and if I could imagine a book that could perfectly explain the seerah and do so in an intelligible, illustrative, and unique way, this would have to be that book. This is college textbook quality authoring, editing, and publishing without the college textbook price. It is so well written and with very cogent logic as well as historical references you can confidently cite in your next dialogue. Most importantly, he's a fair author; meaning he tells it like it is and will include the opinions of the majority and minority of scholars simply to present the facts as they are. The price made me wonder if it would be worth it - Yes! A hundred times - YES. The author even incorporated mnemonics, diagrams, charts, and world maps to help you remember dates, lineages, and locations for crying out loud! When the author writes that this book was his 13 year project, you get that sense the very moment you hold the book. The book is a solid thick quality paperback with a stylish matte rubber finish. A binding that is actually a proper book binding and not the flimsy cheap glue we're all used to. It's in full color with detailed appendices, a glossary, and margin notes citing from Hamza Yusuf, Karen Armstrong, Reza Aslan, Tariq Ramadan, and even his own opinions. I own a vast library of Islamic literature from Al Ghazali and Ibn Kathir to Imam Bukhari and Dr. Ali as Sallabi to Ahmed Deedat and Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah, so trust me when I tell you, you need this book. It is going to set a new standard, so be ahead of the curve and invest in your knowledge.

Very nice and informative.

Great book, just disappointed that the age of Aisha's marriage contract was said to 9 years when it is clear from the authentic literature that it was 16. It is stated to be 9 without any reference or caveat. Disappointed

Well researched and presented in an appealing form, complete with relevant maps and illustrations to bring the subject matter to life for a modern audience.
