A Throwback to Islam's Golden Age

This book is extremely important in these modern times, where so many Muslims erroneously hold the hadiths up higher than the Glorious Qur'an. Over the years all kinds of nonsense involving the supposed mystical practices and miracle workings of the Prophet were subscribed to hadith and taken as gospel, despite the many, MANY things Allah said in the Qur'an about the Unseen being quite limited in our lives... even the Prophet's life. I'm glad Haykal put together a real biography of Islam's founder in which he cut out all the very un-Islamic, superstitious nonsense the "Hadithians" have inserted into the Faith. This is the second-best book in Islam after the Qur'an itself, and does a much better job of showing how Muhammad "walked the Qur'an" than the whole lot of so-called authenticate mystical hadith.

the book for those who seek truth about prophets life

a splendid book, the best i have read so far on prophet's life...all those who have any question in mind about prophets life should must read this book..as it is written in a manner that one's interest in its contents keeps on growing as one reads further. every incident is mostly proven right by quranic verses..if not then by the sayings of prophet are used remarkably...which remove all the confusion from the mind of reader. The writer has clearly stated arab before islam,how prophet started getting messages from allah and how he started coveying message of ALLAH,GOD to the people,what problems he faced,and how he fought along with his companions in the way of GOD. it does not matter if you believe or not that there is no god but God and Muhammad is the messenger of GOD,if one has a lust to know what islam is all about.this book is a great help to understand the sprit of islam,the struggle of good and evil,and to know that how a single orphan ..grew into a the most powerful man only with the help of his God...that people believed in him and were ready not only to face the hardest blows of enemies but to die happily for their God,if you want to know this man you must read this book ..you will fall in love with this man.and you should know this man.

A must read!

This book explores the life of The Prophet in amazingly deep detail. The author does more than just explore religious ideas. It gives great insight into the historical context that led to the rise of Islam. It sheds light into Christianity and Judaism of the day and how they influenced and even provoked the atmosphere of the Arab nations. The author present Islam as a faith that is based upon pure logic and reason, thus the author does not stoop to the level of needing to convince people through signs and wonders. Haykal contends that the Qu'ran and the powerful rise of Islam's influence and reason is proof enough. A western reader might say that this work proud and boastful, but so for on Haykal has had enough chutzpah to present Islam and the life of the Prophet with passion and full conviction.

Excellent for the New Muslim

This is a wonderful reasource for anyone seeking Islam, and researching the Prophet (pbuh). The end summary is also very helpful in explaining the basic teachings of Islam.

the most comprehensive book i've read about mohammed

i've read some of books about mohammed, but this one is the most comprehensive one. even reading the preview made me fall in love with this book. it put mohammed just as a human being, not put him as a holly creature or full of magic things. the writer described and told the story about mohammed with a deep and wide research. he used different resources and gave very rational reasons for everything he presented by using arguments and comaprisons. this book also very good to understand mohammed and islam. it presented mohammed strategies on spreading islam on a rational way. excellent!!
