REVELATION: The Story Of Muhammad

I own Ar Raheeq al Makhtoom, Noble Life of the Prophet by Dr. Ali as Sallabi, and Martin Lings seerah and if I could imagine a book that could perfectly explain the seerah and do so in an intelligible, illustrative, and unique way, this would have to be that book. This is college textbook quality authoring, editing, and publishing without the college textbook price. It is so well written and with very cogent logic as well as historical references you can confidently cite in your next dialogue. Most importantly, he's a fair author; meaning he tells it like it is and will include the opinions of the majority and minority of scholars simply to present the facts as they are. The price made me wonder if it would be worth it - Yes! A hundred times - YES. The author even incorporated mnemonics, diagrams, charts, and world maps to help you remember dates, lineages, and locations for crying out loud! When the author writes that this book was his 13 year project, you get that sense the very moment you hold the book. The book is a solid thick quality paperback with a stylish matte rubber finish. A binding that is actually a proper book binding and not the flimsy cheap glue we're all used to. It's in full color with detailed appendices, a glossary, and margin notes citing from Hamza Yusuf, Karen Armstrong, Reza Aslan, Tariq Ramadan, and even his own opinions. I own a vast library of Islamic literature from Al Ghazali and Ibn Kathir to Imam Bukhari and Dr. Ali as Sallabi to Ahmed Deedat and Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah, so trust me when I tell you, you need this book. It is going to set a new standard, so be ahead of the curve and invest in your knowledge.

If you’re looking for a sirah book that is easy to read, this is the book!!!!! I’ve tried reading many different books before and I couldn’t keep up after a few pages, but this book I read cover to cover!!! The maps and family trees make it sooo easy to follow along in the story and keep track of all the names! And the glossary has a brief description of every name mentioned in the book which is sooo handy when you forget who is who and need a quick refresher! What I loved most about this book are the commentaries in each section. After the author explains the story, there are little brown boxes that have commentaries answering certain questions about the text. I found that the commentaries were reading my mind because I’d have a question as I’m reading and the commentary answers it. The commentary section also answers common questions/criticisms that people have of Islam which I found very useful. Like for example it addresses questions about polygamy, the caravan raids, Aisha’s (ra) age etc. It’s very insightful. As a medical student myself I really appreciate the layout of this book because this is how I study, with lots of diagrams and visuals. I don’t remember how I stumbled upon this book but I’m sure glad I did!!!!

I recently dove headfirst into "Revelation: The Story of Muhammad" by Dr. Meraj Mohiuddin, and let me just say, it's been a transformative journey. From the first page to where I am now, nearly at the end, every moment spent with this book has been enlightening. The decision to invest in this masterpiece was easily one of the best I've made. What really set this experience apart was taking my time to explore the Quranic Year (QY) system outlined by Dr. Mohiuddin in the Introduction. Dedicating myself to memorize and understand these concepts not only enhanced my grasp of the material but connected countless dots, providing a rich, contextual fluency I hadn't experienced before. Whether you're a scholarly teacher in search of a valuable teaching aid or a Muslim reader at any level seeking deeper insights without the need for a formal scholarly background, this book is a gem. It's not just a read; it's an experience that enlightens and connects you to the essence of the Prophet's ﷺ story in an accessible yet profound way. Highly recommended!

This book is so well written and engaging, I can't put it down. This is my first time learning about the Sirah. I ordered this book because the reviews said it was easy to read and digest. Subhanallah. It's truly a delight to read and I recommend this to anyone seeking to learn more about the life of the prophet pbuh.

For anybody studying the Seerah💫, this is a must have book in your library collection! Not only does it have maps charts and diagrams, but it has an entire ⭐️⭐️YouTube⭐️⭐️ podcast that walks you through the book as well!!! It is an amazing resource, especially for scholars and teachers.

Amazing book. Well laid out with great images and very well explained.

I have consumed more than two dozen books covering the life of the Prophet Muhammad over the last 4 years in search of a deeper understanding of the history of Islam at its birth. Although each book I have read provides new insights and a deeper perspective on the life of one of the most amazing human beings to ever live, none had such immense detail that is laid out in an easy to digest format. This is, by far, one of the best options for any reader in the English language, particularly if you have already read at least one other biography of the Prophet Muhammad.

This book is so refreshing to read. It presents an abundance of information in a easily digestible way. I Iike the way it is organized so the reader can easily track the timeline and important events. The charts & pictures really add to readers' understanding. It makes the Seerah less overwhelming to learn and makes me appreciate Prophet Muhammad SAW that much more. I'm really impressed.

This book is pretty detailed and the graphics are awesome.

Very nice and informative.

Great book, just disappointed that the age of Aisha's marriage contract was said to 9 years when it is clear from the authentic literature that it was 16. It is stated to be 9 without any reference or caveat. Disappointed

This is the greatest seerah book especially for young people to learn about their Prophet from an unbiased perspective. The author has put in a great effort and it is so easy to read and extract lessons from. It humanises the Prophet and makes sense to the modern audience. I have learnt many new things about Islam which are so important to our young generation but are never talked about. It was a huge surprise for me to see how open-minded and gentle the Prophet was a teacher, the things that he stood for and what he emphasized. It is nothing like the Islam that I have been taught or many of my generation. If we only we knew who he was. Thank you to the author for not hiding the Prophet's true message from us. Studying this book will allow you to make practical changes in your life if you follow his teachings step by step, the way he taught and emphasized. You would be surprised at the actions he emphasized in his message as they are not what muslims follow these days. We have missed the whole point - the first revelations and the initial message that should have been the foundation of our religion. If the foundation is weak then what use is there in building on top of it. It's only going to collapse.

Well researched and presented in an appealing form, complete with relevant maps and illustrations to bring the subject matter to life for a modern audience.
