The most easy, comprehensive Seerah of the Prophet (pbuh) that I've read thus far. Really liked the narrator - audiobook was 10/10 for such a book with some heavy topics.

Peace and blessing upon Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
Reading this biography evokes so many emotions. The final chapter is so mournful as we bid farewell to the most amazing man to ever set foot on earth.
"Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange, so blessed are the strangers".
May Allah give us the strength to hold fast to the Book of God (Al quran) and the word of His Prophet (As sunnah).
