About this listen

 Widely recognized as the best biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in English, Dr. Martin Lings' award-winning book is now available in audio, read by well-known narrator Sean Barrett. This excellent audiobook is the first of its kind and has been selected by a number of organizations as a worthy introduction to the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), including Muslim Welfare House, London, and the Muslim Council of Britain.©2003 Meem Ltd.

Critic reviews

"This work is widely recognized as the most readable account of the life of the Prophet to date." ( The Times, London)
"For those interested in Islam in one way or another, it is mesmerizing." ( Parabola)
Once started, one can't put it down. Life of the greatest man (peace be yon him) in history carotid in a very balanced way. Many of the things I have read in my life but it is good to refresh your memory and read about events in an order. Many things that I read, I have never knew before. Going to read it again sometime

Beautiful book

The book does a great job at remaining succint without losing value in its exploration of the life of Muhammad. A great introduction to Islam.

Beautifully narrated and an enjoyable listen.

Good book. But does only give a brief over view of some key events. Still worth getting as an initial guide.

Recommend!

It is great as a Muslim to be able to listen to something in the study of Islam which is so factually accurate which has enormous manpower behind the dedication to see a piece like this come to fruition. More Prophets, Please.
