Muhammad His Life Based On The Earliest Source

Acclaimed for originality and authenticity, Martin Ling’s MUHAMMAD is considered to be the most comprehensive biography of the Prophet Muhammad in the English language. The author builds his narrative fully depending on the eighth and ninth century Arabic sources, particularly the sayings of the men and women who witnessed the Prophet’s life. The beauty of the language he employs to reflect the grandeur and simplicity of the Prophet’s life is highly engaging and impressive.

I read it straight through, then re-read it, almost in its entirety, fascinated.
