A life of the prophet Muhammad by bestselling author Karen Armstrong.
‘Armstrong has a dazzling ability: she can take a long and complex subject and reduce it to its fundamentals, without over-simplifying’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘One of our best living writers on religion’ FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Not just a sympathetic book that would dispel the misconceptions and misgivings of its western readers, but also a book that is of considerable importance to Muslims’ MUSLIM NEWS
Most people in the West know very little about the prophet Muhammad. The acclaimed religious writer Karen Armstrong has written a biography which will give us a more accurate and profound understanding of Islam and the people who adhere to it so strongly. Muhammad also offers challenging comparisons with the two religions most closely related to it – Judaism and Christianity.
