Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources by Martin Lings

5.0

Overall, an interesting read as the author perfectly balanced out the fact that while Muhammad is a chosen man of God, he is also every bit human with human desires much like the rest of us (hence, one is forbidden to idolise him so much to see or worship him as an equal to the Almighty)! The text is interlaced with Quranic verses so as to get readers to understand their relevance, given the circumstances at the time of their revelations.
