THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMED


MUHAMMAD: THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET, by Martin Lings
Based on authentic sources, Lings draws the reader into sixth and seventh century Arabia: you can see and hear the caravans on the dirt-path roads.

THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD, by Leila Azzam and Aisha Gouverneur
The content of this introduction to the life of the Prophet is authentic—it has the seal of approval from Al-Azhar University in Cairo—and the style lively and accessible. The book was written for a younger audience, but it works well as an overview for adult readers and has frequently been used by university students of world religion courses requiring a quick and accurate account of the subject.
