Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources by Martin Lings
4.0
I had a roller coster reading this one. I was struggling to focus when the author combined a few names in 1 sentence, or even names of different Arab tribes from different places, or when archaic English was used. However, some chapters definitely left me engrossed, especially during passing away moments.
This was my second time to pick this famous book, the first time was the Bahasa version which I read half way. As it’s Ramadhan. I decided to give this book another try with the original version.
It helped me to appreciate more of the story, having performed my pilmigrage 2 months prior. I wouldn’t be able to imagine the places mentioned in the book had I not been there earlier. It gave such a difference compared to my first read.
I’d recommend this book to someone who wants to know the Prophet personally.
