Well written and narrated

As a person who knew very little of Muhammad, this book was very informative and gave a spectacular narrative of the prophet's life.

better than ibn Ishaq

I first attempted to listen to the copy of ibn Ishaq within the first few minutes it was painfully obvious that the translation had been undertaken and the reading sponsored by someone who had a personal grudge against Islam so looking for more reputable and unbiased source I picked this book covers all the necessary basis
