In The Life of Muhammad, Haykal achieves two objectives admirably: first, a biography which reveals the career of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the full light of historic reality; second, bringing out the essence of Islam, as exemplified in the life of the greatest Muslim.

It includes complete coverage of the Prophet’s life, a detailed analysis of pre-Islamic Arabia, the situational context of revelation, and a comparative study of the basics of Islamic and western civilizations. It is based upon a scholarly examination of all the extant Sirah and Hadith literature (the Prophet’s life, his sayings and narrations of his teachings by his contemporaries) with the eye of an objective, scientific and critical scholar who is well-versed in modern historical critical methodology.

A well-received translation from Arabic, of a classic that was written after examining all the extant Arabic sources on the biography of the Prophet (pbuh), resulting in a work that stands up solidly against modern historical critical methodology. This biography of the Prophet Muhammad is the first written by a contemporary Muslim scholar.

This publication of The Life of Muhammad is an essential book for all English-speaking Muslims, as well as non-Muslims.
