The Life of Muhammad

By Abdul Hameed Siddiqui

This is one of the best books in English on the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Concise but scholarly, Siddiqui presents the life of our great Prophet, explaining the context of his culture, society and history. He also seeks to present and refute a number of Orientalist accusations against him, something that is of value to Muslims, especially those living in the West.
