Summary
Martin Lings’ biography of Muhammad is an internationally acclaimed， comprehensive， and authoritative account of the life of the prophet。 Based on the sira， the eighth- and ninth-century Arabic biographies that recount numerous events in the prophet’s life， it contains original English translations of many important passages that reveal the words of men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life。
Scrupulous and exhaustive in its fidelity to its sources， Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources is presented in a narrative style that is easily comprehensible， yet authentic and inspiring in its use of language， reflecting both the simplicity and grandeur of the story it tells。 This revised edition includes new sections detailing the prophet’s expanding influence and his spreading of the message of Islam into Syria and its neighboring states。 It represents the final updates made to the text before the author’s death in 2005。 The book has been published in 12 languages and has received numerous awards， including acknowledgment as best biography of the prophet in English at the National Seerate Conference in Islamabad。

One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is finally finishing a book that hasn't necessarily ingratiated itself to you。 This was that book。First， some positivity: Martin Lings did a spectacular job compiling centuries of Islamic tradition chronologically， a lot of it， if not most， being from the Hadith。 This book is masterfully done in this regard， and if this were the only thing I was rating it on， it would receive 5 stars。 Now， let's get to the "good" hashtag bad part: It's 1983 for cr One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is finally finishing a book that hasn't necessarily ingratiated itself to you。 This was that book。First， some positivity: Martin Lings did a spectacular job compiling centuries of Islamic tradition chronologically， a lot of it， if not most， being from the Hadith。 This book is masterfully done in this regard， and if this were the only thing I was rating it on， it would receive 5 stars。 Now， let's get to the "good" hashtag bad part: It's 1983 for crying out loud， why are we using King James English for the manifold quotations？ Readability does happen to hinge upon the era of composure， so why translate like you're from the 19th century？ "Because it has that 'holy smell' to it。" Astaghfur'allah lol。 Honestly readability is my main qualm with it。 I have no doubt that if I were an Arab reading this tho， I would definitely feel the "deeper essence" of the work stick with me。 I'm also a big facts guy。 The fact that few of the events or claims made in this book are actually backed up historically also created a slight wall。 I just wish there was more historically reliable information！ Maybe I will feel better if I see this not as *the* biography of PBUH， but as *Islam's* biography of PBUH。 So， I have resolved to call this a complex， revisionist history。 It is only appropriate。 That is all， my mini rant :） 。。。more

Audiobook。 Although lacking detail especially in regards to pre-Hijrah seerah， what it lacks in detail it makes up in narrative arc and beautiful storytelling。

About a year ago this book caught my attention amidst my pressing urge to dedicate serious attention to study Islam more meticulously， which meant by extension， carefully studying the life of the Prophet ﷺ。 I have been well exposed to the Seerah literature since early childhood and have a general understanding of the prophet’s ﷺ life。 However now at a discernible age I felt a responsibility to cover the Seerah more personally while giving studious attention to important details。Among the well-kn About a year ago this book caught my attention amidst my pressing urge to dedicate serious attention to study Islam more meticulously， which meant by extension， carefully studying the life of the Prophet ﷺ。 I have been well exposed to the Seerah literature since early childhood and have a general understanding of the prophet’s ﷺ life。 However now at a discernible age I felt a responsibility to cover the Seerah more personally while giving studious attention to important details。Among the well-known Seerah collections that are on my to-read list， this book happened to be the first read， mostly because of its renown and acclaim， both by scholars and readers。 It is an excellent compilation of events narrated from the earliest sources （as titled）， carefully put together in a chronological manner concisely and coherently。 The narration style is very simple and easy to follow。 The tone is direct and unwaveringly unsentimental， giving much credit to it as an objective biographical piece。 Much more is to be said about the book’s credibility， which has been been much talked about countless times。 So I won’t reiterate all the due praise that the readers are accustomed to。 I will instead move on to the lesser addressed matters of the book， things that need to be brought up。 This book despite being an excellent work of erudite scholarship is not devoid of certain errors and of some dire need for improvements。 I will explain。 The book gives a bird’s eye view of the happening of events from the prophet’s ﷺ birth to his burial and succession。 While this gives an authentic and unbiased flavour to the narration， it also compels the narrator to exclude certain narrations and events that reflect the prophet’s ﷺ character and behaviour in a more inclusive and empathetic manner。 Of course Dr。 Lings （may Allah bless his soul with peace） has narrated events that reflect the prophet’s characteristics， an example being his telling of his ﷺ unfaltering characteristic of showing mercy even to the most vilest of enemies from the start of his persecution to his days of unequivocal power。 However the tone and context of narrating these events， owing to the unsentimental approach， many times obviates the possibility of recognising the uniqueness of such outstanding personality by the reader as it humanly requires， for it was these sifāt （characteristics） of the prophet ﷺ in perfect balance with his Jalāli （majestic） sifāt that made him befitting of the title ‘The Best of All Creation’ ﷺ。There is also a major theological error in the book which was pointed out Shaykh Hamza Yusuf in his Seerah lecture series。 In the 23rd chapter of the book Dr。 Lings makes the assertion that Jesus عليه السلام was the “word-made-flesh” and “analogously… （Qur’an is） Word-made-book”。 This doesn’t fall in line with the muslim theology in any way and I felt it should be mentioned。The third important issue is that Dr。 Lings at times， with all due respect， doesn’t bother enough to open it to us that some important events have varying accounts （even among the earliest sources） and at few instances he presents the usually less accepted account as the default one， or combines different accounts to create an amalgam of varying accounts。 While he as a qualified academic is in his rights to interpret the varying accounts as he deems fit but in this process he leaves out what is understood by the broad spectrum of muslim scholars historically， which in my opinion， he ought to have at least mentioned。 This issue is especially concerning because it pertains with many events that now are popularised under an attempt to vilify the prophet’s ﷺ character。 One example of it being the Prophet's marriage to Zainab， the former wife of his adopted son Zayd Ibn Harithah。 I will not get into the details about the varying accounts and about other ’controversial’ issues but you can check the attached article from Yaqeen Institute regarding the first issue of marriage of the Prophet ﷺ with Zainab （may Allah be pleased with her）。 Same is the case with many of the important events that have been mentioned without proper prudence， devoid of necessary clarification for the reader's understanding to avoid shubha （obscurity）。Apart from these minor （excluding the major one）， yet still concerning discrepancies， there are things that the reader still needs to keep in mind while going through this book。 For example， I found very little emphasis on the Prophet’s ﷺ love for his family and its significance for the muslims， especially of the ‘people of the cloak’ as mentioned in the book。 There were other things of great importance which I found missing from the book， things that I have been traditionally taught by my teachers。 However I suspend any conclusive remark about it and still give my due respect to Dr。 Lings for this excellent biography of the Prophet ﷺ which I benefited from immensely。To conclude， this book is one the best biographies of the Prophet ﷺ written in English language but not without its defects。 The reader needs to be conscious of the infallibility of any book written by man and consult the people of knowledge about any topic while personally investigating matters （as the Qur’an commands 16:43 & 9:122）。 Anyone who’s interested in learning the prophet’s ﷺ life should consult the scholars of the said field。 I would recommend the Seerah lecture series by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf。 I have also heard positively about Yasir Qadhi’s Seerah lecture series， although I haven’t personally consulted it yet。 Both are freely available on Youtube。 Among the other Seerah compilations that I intend to read next are from the following authors: Mohammad Jebara， Adil Salahi and a translated one， originally written by Muhammad bin Alawi al Maliki。 https://yaqeeninstitute。org/amp/read/。。。 。。。more

I write this review in the hope that it may be of use to those who are trying to decide whether to read this book or not。 As a general introduction to the man， other books may serve a better purpose， such as Karen Armstrong's book on the same topic （who I think draws on this book quite a lot）。 For those looking to gain a bit of a closer look they can get a relatively mainstream traditional perspective。 The danger I find is that you will find people who dispute the stories in varying guises。 Ther I write this review in the hope that it may be of use to those who are trying to decide whether to read this book or not。 As a general introduction to the man， other books may serve a better purpose， such as Karen Armstrong's book on the same topic （who I think draws on this book quite a lot）。 For those looking to gain a bit of a closer look they can get a relatively mainstream traditional perspective。 The danger I find is that you will find people who dispute the stories in varying guises。 There will be Muslims who dispute them （and it sometimes is unclear what exactly is unreliable） and there will be Westerners who argue against the traditional story。 I suppose it is in the nature of history to have multiple competing narratives。 Nonetheless， the book reads a bit like a chronicle of wars and marriages， or so it felt to me at some points。 There seemed very little discussion around theological and spiritual developments （there are a few nice chapters towards the end of the book， and the author also quotes some passages from the Bible）。 It was all very much grounded in the world/politics/society of the time， and so I think for some believers that do not know these stories very well， they may struggle with some aspects or find unpalatable， for instance， in relation to his marriages， being married to 10 women i。e。 no restrictions being placed on himself， but on the rest of Muslims may seem strange。 After the killing of all the Jewish men of Band Qurayza， the women and children were taken into captivity。 “As to the other women and children， they were divided， together with the property…” and then the paragraph continues “as part of his share the Prophet had chosen Rayhanah … a woman of great beauty … she remained the Prophet’s slave until she died some five years later”。 When she became Muslim， he offered to marry her。 Lings suggests that she refused， preferring to remain “in his power”， whilst other sources suggest she actually did marry him。 It wasn't the first time he would take a woman as his "share of the booty" （I quote from the book）。 He marries Zaynab， who had divorced Zayd， his adopted son （I stress now that this is one of those stories that some Muslims， based on scholarly input， deny）。 You find him fighting directly in wars and slaying enemies。 My sense with this is that Lings effectively writes this out， without a great deal of interest in determining the validity of the stories he finds， and more as a way of relaying a translation of some of the earliest biographies。 。。。more

Enjoyed this thoroughly but some have said that certain sources aren’t as trustworthy。 This book hasn’t really stand the swarm of rigorous verification by critics and it does make me fairly skeptical with the accuracy。 Nevertheless it has been said that this is one of the most eloquently written biography of Prophet Muhammad and I do agree

“Thou fastest every day，” said the Prophet， “and keepest vigil every night in prayer。” “Yea， that indeed I do，” said ‘Uthman， for he had heard him speak again and again of the merits of fasting and of night prayer。 “Do not so，” said the Prophet， “for verily thine eyes have their rights over thee， and thy body hath its rights， and thy family have their rights。 So pray， and sleep， and fast， and break fast。” As an expression of the primordial religion， the Revelation continually stressed the import “Thou fastest every day，” said the Prophet， “and keepest vigil every night in prayer。” “Yea， that indeed I do，” said ‘Uthman， for he had heard him speak again and again of the merits of fasting and of night prayer。 “Do not so，” said the Prophet， “for verily thine eyes have their rights over thee， and thy body hath its rights， and thy family have their rights。 So pray， and sleep， and fast， and break fast。” As an expression of the primordial religion， the Revelation continually stressed the importance of giving thanks to God for all the most elementary blessings of life。 He hath given you hearing and sight and heart knowledge that ye may be thankful。”-With the coming of Ramadan， I decided to put it upon myself to read another book on the Biography of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم。 Like a country that revisits the nation's history during independence day， I revisit his life to learn and to strengthen my connection with him。 It's a reminder of the sacrifices made by Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions， and most of all to be in constant gratitude for the gift that Allah has bestowed on the Ummah。This is one of the most detailed Biographies of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم that I've read so far。 This comes close to The Sealed Nectar by Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri， which is a personal favourite of mine。 My advice to those that would like to pick this up is， don't make this the first book that you read on Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم's life， and most of all， don't make it your last。 。。。more
