*Read for a class
This book takes the story of Muhammad from the time he is young to the time of his death and puts his life into shorter and very interesting stories. We see when and how he receives many of the revelations that form the Qur'an and meet all of his close advisors and many wives. We also see the difference in his time in both Medina and Mecca. Finally, all the battles and trials Muhammad is faced with are also part of the story.
This is a fabulous way to learn about Muhammad. I would almost suggest that people interested in Islam read this first - before any primary text - because of how much this puts things into context and how easy it is to follow. Some people (in my class) felt the focus showed a penchant for violence in the prophet once he went to Medina, but the opposite can also be supported - that Muhammad was a threat to the status quo and he was attacked so often and with so much force that he had no choice but to respond in kind.

Agak lama ambil masa nak tamatkan bacaan sebab sambung baca antara senggang bacaan lain. Jarang nak baca naskhah bukan fiksyen tapi tertarik nak hadam jalan cerita kehidupan Rasullah dari awal kelahiran hingga wafat dan kebetulan ada cabaran bacaan Ramadan.
Terjemahan yang kemas dan sedap susunannya. Kisah-kisah Rasulullah yang biasa dengar sebelum ini cuma lebih terperinci dan aku paling suka deskripsi naratifnya, tersusun pada setiap bab; setiap cabaran dan halangan baginda, awal/semasa/selepas kedatangan Islam, tentang para sahabat (ini antara perihal paling seronok aku baca sebab selalu cuma kenal nama dan kurang ambil tahu kisah mereka di sebaliknya tapi buku ini banyak juga fokus pada kehidupan para sahabat Rasulullah) dan kejadian-kejadian penting dalam sejarah Islam.
Naskhah yang bagus, boleh belek baca di mana-mana bab kalau sesekali nak tenangkan hati baca hal sirah Rasulullah dan berkenaan Islam.
