Media Reviews
Despite the vastness of the subject, this biography makes an easy and absorbing reading for anyone interested in religion as such. For those interested in Islam one way or another it is mesmerising. ---S. H. Nasr, George Washington University.--- An enthralling story that combines impeccable scholarship with a rare sense of the sacred worthy of his subject. ---The Spectator.--- Before the appearance of this book, Western languages lacked almost entirely a comprehensive and authentic account of the life of the Prophet Muhammad... Lings has produced a superb narrative that in its sobriety and dignity of style, and its scrupulous and exhaustive fidelity to authentic and reliable sources, constitutes a major addition to Islamic literature in English. Highly recommended. ---Hamid Alhar, Religious Studies Review.--- This is easily the best biography of the Prophet in the English language. ---Dr. Victor Danner, Indiana University.--- Muhammad is a true work of art, as enthralling as the best novels with the difference that this is not fiction but fact. ---The Islamic Quarterly.
