A review by kaulhilo
When the Moon Split by Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri

no rating// dnf

it made me really sad to put down this book without finishing it, but it really wasn’t what i was looking for— it’s very superficial and reads like “pointers” than an actual biography. i was looking for smthn a bit more in depth and proper, with citations and direct verses/incidents that have translated to islam as it is now. sadly this wasn’t anything of the sort and i, well, didn’t want to read my grade 7 islamiat book all over again.

that said, i’m not gonna rate it because it’s not exactly a “bad” book/biography— just not what i wanted. it could very well be an excellent book for someone just starting out to learn more about the Holy Prophet (PBUH), or someone looking for a rough overview.
