MUHAMMAD HIS LIFE BASED ON THE EARLIEST

Martin Ling’s Life of Muhammad is unlikely any other – Based on Arabic sources of the eigth and ninth centuries, of which some important passages are translated here for the first time, it owes the freshness and direcness of its approach to the words of the men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life.

Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative. He has adopted a style which is at once extremely readable and reflects both the simplicity and grandeur of the story. The result is a book which will be read with equal enjoyment by those already familiar with Muhammad’s life and those coming to it for the first time.
